CAIR: Hasner must step down

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today called on GOP leaders to demand that Rep. Adam Hasner step down from his leadership post for co-hosting a Florida "Free Speech Summit" criticized as an anti-Islam event. Featured speaker Dutch politician Geert Wilders reportedly said: “ Islam is not a religion. Islam is a totalitarian political ideologue. Islam heart lies at the Qur'an, and the Qur'an is a book that calls for hatred, that calls for violence, for murder, for terrorism, for war, and submission…We should stop pretending that Islam is a religion... the right to religious freedom should not apply to Islam .”

Hasner responded: "I am not going to allow the right to free speech be stifled by a group like CAIR that has legally documented ties to the Muslim Brotherhood - a radical organization that is on record as stating they want to destroy America from within thru the imposition of Sharia law."

“It is unconscionable that a top leader of an American state legislature would host a gathering at which the faith of millions of Americans is denigrated and their rights denied,” said CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper . “Republican Party leaders in Florida and nationwide must demand that Representative Hasner step down from his leadership post because of his support for Geert Wilders and his Nazi-like message.” 

Anyone else wondering if Hasner might in fact appreciate CAIR's aggressive attacks elevating his profile? More on that event here.

Hasner should step down for many other reasons.

[10:15]

Is it a slow news day Adam?

It doesn't work that way in America. Rep. Adam Hasner is a committed, intelligent, hard working State Rep. working on behalf of and duly elected by the people of Florida.

[Christian]

BORING!

WHO CARES???

[get-smart]

So much for democracy. Now we have this non-American third world garbage dictating how we are going to run our country. I can't believe we are being over ran by all the mud.

So what is the entertainment monkey going to do? Is he going to shut down the Mexican border and keep the disease out?

He will most likely blame Americans like Fidel and Hugo and apologize.

There's a huge difference between Islam and the radical ideology taking hostage millions of people around the world.

I wish Geert Wilders would make an effort to distinguish between the two, but there's no denying that the people he's speaking about pose a threat to everyone, American and otherwise.

[Proud Infidel]

CAIR was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy-Land Foundation terroristm funding case, which resulted in convictions on all 108 counts!

[CAIR = Terrorist Shill]

Soft Jihad alert!

[Santa]

How does this even rate a blog entry when the entire DRAMA of Nancy Pelosi and her minions are hardly mentioned in real news stories regarding their TOTAL knowledge of water boarding.

CAIR needs to go after Nancy and the rest of the Dems. THIS paper needs to report THAT!

STOP BEING BIAS, REPORT THE FACTS and by FACTS I don't mean PolitiFARCE.

[DCS]

Hasner should step down for the same reasons that Sampson had to go. That said, more people have been killed in the name of Jesus than Mohammed! Organized religion will be the downfall of humanity!

[FL-GOP]

CAIR is promoting hate speech on their own website! It is actively propagating hate even while sanctimoniously claiming that it is working against hate and violence.

But… isn't CAIR a Muslim organization? What’s the catch?

Here is how they actually appear in the literature that groups like CAIR are pushing:

Sura (8:55) - Surely the vilest of animals in Allah's sight are those who disbelieve

Sura (48:29) - Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard (ruthless) against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves

Sura (9:30) - And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah... Allah (Himself) fights against them. How perverse are they!

Sura (8:12) - I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them

Sura (9:123) - O you who believe! Fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness

Sura (5:33) - The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement

These verses come from five different places in the Qur’an. There are dozens of others scattered throughout that advocate violence in open-ended fashion. There are hundreds more that speak of hatred and hell toward Christians, Jews, and other non-believers. (Is it any wonder that the Muslim world is split largely between those who tacitly support Islamic terror and those who do nothing about it?)

[Basics]

Santa - the topic of this blog is "Florida Politics." (see title at the top: "The Buzz: Florida Politics.") That's likely why the SP Times only covers Florida politics here.

[Ken]

Isn't CAIR a terrorist-affiliated organization???

[Richard]

DEUS VEULT!

[just sayin']

Mr. Hooper-

You can be sure you have lost the argument when you resort to calling someone you disagree with a "Nazi".

We have freedom of speech in this country. If you don't like what someone says, you are free to not listen. We do not operate under Sharia Law as you would like us to (you have stated this in the past).

Go to another country if you don't like our laws and preach your freedom-stifling religion elsewhere. Don't let the door hit you on the way out...

[Proud Conservative]

Who cares what CAIR says anyway?

[Bob Smith]

There is no difference between "moderate" Muslims and the radicals. They both believe in Islamic supremacist dogma.

"Moderate" Muslims only act as a deception to hide the true intent of Islam.

Hasner should not step down - every person, legislators included, have a right to their opinion...

Hasner's problem is that he will soon become associated with this, and only this issue... (and by association, the Majority office... which is my concern)...

What was Hasner doing during the ill-fated budget talks - anti-muslim stuff...

What was Hasner doing during the muslim prayer - anti-muslim personal stuff...

What was Hasner doing when muslims wanted to come to Tallahassee - anti-muslim stuff...

[atillathefun]

to florida muslim, how do we distinguish? critics of islam have either studied or lived the core tenants of this plague on humanity. reference the koran and hadiths. billions of people want to emulate the madman mohamad?? prepare for dark times ahead. council of ex-muslims in britain. bravo geert wilders.

[Amillennialist]

How can you treat CAIR -- an unindicted co-conspirator in a federal terrorism funding trial and front for the Muslim Brotherhood whose stated goal is to bring down Western Civilization from within -- as anything more than seditious agents of jihad?

Here is what you aid by giving CAIR credibility:

"the Messenger of Allah . . . would say: 'Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war. . . . When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. . . . Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them. . . . If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah's help and fight them . . .'" (Muslim Book 19, Number 4294).

"fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war) . . . " (Qur’an 9:5).

"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued" (Qur'an 9:29).

"Allah's Apostle said: 'I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle . . . '" (Bukhari Volume 1, Book 2, Number 24).

"It is not for any prophet to have captives until he hath made slaughter in the land. Ye desire the lure of this world and Allah desireth (for you) the Hereafter, and Allah is Mighty, Wise" (Qur'an 8:67).

"Allah’s Apostle said, 'I have been made victorious with terror'" (Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220).

[Amillennialist]

"Anyone else wondering if Hasner might in fact appreciate CAIR's aggressive attacks elevating his profile?"

Good thing you found the real enemy, a politician warning against a murderous, treasonous ideology . . . rather than the agents of that ideology.

[Amillennialist]

CAIR calls Geert "Nazi"?

That's the pot calling the crystal "black."

[Amillennialist]

"Hasner should step down for the same reasons that Sampson had to go. That said, more people have been killed in the name of Jesus than Mohammed! Organized religion will be the downfall of humanity!"

Jesus commands, "Love your neighbor as yourself," and "Love your enemies."

Allah commanded, "kill the unbelievers wherever you find them."

[Amillennialist]

"There's a huge difference between Islam and the radical ideology taking hostage millions of people around the world."

If Allah and his apostle command offensive warfare against all who refuse the "invitation" to Islam or subjugation and humiliation, what is the difference?

[Muslimsareascourge]

Go to another country if you don't like our laws and preach your freedom-stifling religion elsewhere! Don't let the door hit you on the way out!

[GT]

We're sick and tired of CAIR's harassment! Rep. Adam Hasner is our elected representative. CAIR represents foreign invaders who openly demand rights for Islam admitting that their objective is to overturn our Constitution, take over our government and way of life and put us under Sharia Law.
Rep. Hasner is doing precisely what he swore to do when he took his oath of office: To Defend and Protect the Constitution of both Florida and the United States. It is is obligation and duty to do so and he is doing it extremely well.

Americans (and apparently Europeans as well) have had it with intimidation and whining from people who demand tolerance but admit intolerance to all others. This ideology is incompatible with Democracy and must either adapt to our way of life, accept that Freedom of Speech applies to all --- or ultimately, in violation of our Constitution and laws, will find itself ultimately declared an outlaw!

[Mr.Fitnah]

I hope this clear headed thinking catched on , giving Islam religious freedom is like giving the bloods and the crips the same rights.

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 163(a):
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

That the Prophet said, "My livelihood is under the shade of my spear (from war booty), and he who disobeys my orders will be humiliated by paying the Jizya.

"The FBI has had to limit its formal contact with CAIR field offices until certain issues are addressed by CAIR's national headquarters," said Assistant FBI Director John Miller, concerning action that was taken, but not announced, last autumn. "CAIR's leadership is aware of this. Beyond that, we have no further comment."

[please....]

phuuk off CAIR.

[Muslima]

If Hasner desn't make difference between Islam as a religion and Muslims as people ... he should step down ...

YES,
There's a huge difference between Islam and the radical ideology taking hostage millions of people around the world.

I wish Geert Wilders would make an effort to distinguish between the two, but there's no denying that the people he's speaking about pose a threat to everyone, American and otherwise.

[Canadian Muslima]

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A RELIGION AND PEOPLES ACTS ... we can't judge a religion by peoples' acts ...

[Canadian]

Islam is a good religion ... the proof we have converted people every day ... let check if we are really following our Christian religion dear friends ... it's all modified, we don't practice, we steal and cheat, ...

[Cyla]

why you don't post all the comments ???? scared of the truth ??!!!

[LADY]

are we real christian and jews ? do we practice our religion ? we made a religion suitable to us ... Islam is the religion of the FUTURE ....

[Cyla]

Islam is Salam which means PEACE ! how it can be a bad religion thu ???????

[Calgarian]

why don't you see the positive side of Islam ?

[Meryouma]

Are you afraid of Islam dear AMERICANS ??? why all this noise ? it's just a religion as the others ....

[Meryouma]

Yes it says in islam that jews people are the most who hates islam and muslims ... the christian are more kind and cooperating ...

[Kouki]

yes Islam is different that people's acts ... never judge a religion by people who are modifying it ...

[just sayin']

"Are you afraid of Islam dear AMERICANS ???"

Not afraid of Islam...just Islamists.

[A mulsima]

Hasner should step down now, the world does not need ignorent leaders. You should know everything about Islam before saying anything about it or it's prophet. Islam is and will always be tha fastest growing religion.

[Wassila]

Yes,
Islam is the fastest growing religion for that people are afraid, they're seeing it, Islam got till US yes, we're American Muslims proud of it,

[Wassila]

Is this how leaders talk, discuss, and cooperate ? this is a RACISM Mr. Hasner,

[dale]

Hasner is supporting the truth.

CAIR is a proven front group created for Hamas. Of course, CAIR will say that if they were a terror-front, the FBI would shut them down.

In good time, CAIR. It took almost 20 years to take the Holy Land Foundation down, including convicting the founder of CAIR-Texas.

The wheels of justice....

Keep it up Hasner!

[CrackerJack]

Islam is not a race so to call someone a "racist" because they criticize Islam is to expose your ignorance. Europe has fallen to a fatal combination of multiculturalism and political correctness. Adam Hasner is one of the few politicians with the foresight to stop it happening here. Freedom of speech is paramount.
