Muslim group counters St. Cloud pastor’s anti-Islam ad
Tuesday, April 06, 2010 at 3:17 pm
The Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations is launching an ad of its own to counter an ad in the St. Cloud Times last month that the group deems anti-Islam. Baptist pastor Dennis Campbell’s ad for the Granite City Baptist Church read, in part, “Moslems seek to influence a nation by immigration, reproduction, education, the government, illegal drugs and by supporting the gay agenda.” CAIR’s response ad, after the jump, bears the headline, “We are American, We are Muslim.”
“We are your neighbors,” the CAIR-MN ad states. “We are natives and immigrants. We are educated, skilled, and working hard to achieve the American Dream. We are a part of America’s history and future. We are doctors, teachers, lawyers, community activists, athletes, elected officials, taxi drivers, service workers, police officers, and business owners. We are American. We are Muslim.”
CAIR-MN president Lori Saroya said that following Campell’s ad, her office got calls from several Christian organizations saying that the views of Granite City’s pastor do not reflect those of other Christian churches.
“The reality is that Muslims are Americans who co-exist peacefully with people of other faiths,” said Saroya in a statement on Tuesday.

Mr. Birky should do some actually research on CAIR. They are a terrorist supporting organization that admits that they want Islam to dominate America. The careers of Muslims mean nothing, as doctors and teachers have become suicide bombers.

America is made of people from different races, religions, And countries, any one who attacks an American because of his race, creed, or color has no place in this country. We Americans do not tolerate racism, discrimination,and hate in any form possible. We say it loud and clear to the hate mongers, if you don’t like our constitution leave the United States of America!

Good idea Paul.
I have to admit that local Moslems have recently shown greater willingness to co-exist. Several years ago some airport taxi drivers were refusing the carry passengers with dogs or alcohol for religious reasons. AFAIK they relented. Perhaps CAIR was helpful on that and similar controversies.

Brian, if you were truly against discrimination you would be against Islam.
Gadzooks,
When you want to act like an adult and debate on this issue, you can reach me here. Islaminaction08@yahoo.com
Here is a clue, they are following the same ideology which calls for the dominance of non-Muslims.

Most mind-bogglingly goofy statement this week:
['Christopher' says:] Brian, if you were truly against discrimination you would be against Islam.

CAIR and its members have a long way to go before they are as odious and dangerous as the allegedly-Christian-but-definitely-religious-right-wing-whackos.
The Council for National Policy and The Family are scarier.

Has anyone here – including Mr. Birkey – actually read the Qur’an, the hadiths (Bukhari, Sahih Muslim), or Sirat Rasul Allah (Ibn Ishaq)?

So when does the US think they will be ready to alter the Constitution to make way for Islamic law!!
In Europe prominent Muslim advocacy groups like CAIR are pushing for Shari’a law to be integrated into European law ~ openly! We are left with no illusion that groups such as Muslim Council of Britain [MCB] ~ the UK largest Muslim group
This was a UK TV documentary of a group directly affiliated with the MCB ~ who wishes to use the democratic process to achieve an Islamic state. A charity directly connected to these groups ~ is now under investigation for sending money to organisations in Gaza.
Video docu called:
Britain’s Islamic Republic
http://www.mefeedia.com/watch/29535206
Next ~ is the largest German Turkish Group – Islamische Gemeinschaft Milli Görüs [IGMG], in which a leaked computer program also shows they are working behind the scenes to undermine democracy ~ the are currently under investigation by the German gov.
Mili Görüs: Determined to bring down democracy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6k3qzR8fOA&
Here is what an insider said about the aims of the German Islamic group IGMG more than a decade ago:
Germany was chosen as the center for these initiatives because it has the greatest percentage of Turkish residents, but also because everything that even smells like immigrant hostility is banned and ostracised, and every warning, however justified, is repudiated as hatred towards foreigners, providing ideal cover for the activities of Muslim fundamentalists.
A few statements by IGMG reveal their agenda: “Down with all political systems except Islamic rule! The Power belongs to Allah, his messenger, and the believers. We will crush the skull of anyone who opposes Sharia.”
–
CAIR must be so frustrated that it cannot take its campaign against Islamophobia to the establishment of Shari’a law ~ that is what the European Muslim groups are doing.
There the Shari’a laws are being pushed under the guise of anti-racist laws!
Anyone who challenges the Muslim push for Shari’a is a ‘racist’ and a part of ‘hate’ group!!
Got it!
That US Constitution and its non-religious clause is the hold up! Believe me US Muslims are already looking at how they can overcome this hurdle.
Remember Muslims are normal people ~ like everyone else ~ but that doesn’t mean that they don’t want Shari’a. And that they won’t work for replacing the rule of law ~ man made of course ~ with that of Shari’a consider perfect God’s law … ah … which can’t be challenged!
Don’t be so gullible ~ is all I’m saying!

Muslims are not American. CAIR and their cronies can run all the ads they want. Islam is backward, intolerant and hateful and no ad will ever change this or my opinion on islam. I on my end am making everybody I know aware of how totalitarian and dangerous islam is. Just look at Europe. I don’t know anyone who wants things to turn out that way over here in the US. People who say islam is peaceful either didn’t read the koran, lie or are ignorant. Lenin called them useful idiots.

Muslims are Americans, and it is people like you John and others who are not Americans by doing harm to another group of people because of what they believe in. Put in mind that my ancestors came from Europe to America may be before yours came here and i am Muslim just like my native Indian wife her sister, my brother and his wife.
If FOX news makes you scared start watching cartoons….
