CAIR leader speaks about al-Awlaki, but is conspicuously silent about Iranian Christian By Brigitte Gabriel (Colony Rabble) on October 3rd, 2011 redcounty.com CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad, in a column that appeared in USA Today (below, highlights added), takes the position that Anwar al-Awlaki and others like him should be accorded constitutional protections such as due process. He is wrong. A cursory study of American history shows that “enemy combatants” are not entitled to constitutional protections. Anwar al-Awlaki was an “enemy combatant”—not just “any American” as Awad claims. It’s revealing that CAIR wastes no time rallying to the “rights” of people like al-Awlaki while remaining conspicuously silent as an Iranian Christian, a former Muslim, faces the death penalty for being an “apostate.” There’s a reason for this. CAIR has an agenda—the advance of sharia law. And in sharia law, the penalty for an adult male who leaves Islam is death. Whenever CAIR speaks out about “rights” under our Constitution, remember that CAIR’s co-founder (Omar Ahmad) and CAIR’s current communications director (Ibrahim Hooper) have both made statements of support for Islamic law to reign supreme in America—which would obliterate the rights and freedoms we now enjoy. Nihad Awad is the last person who should be lecturing American leaders about their “duty” to uphold the Constitution, given his organization’s support for sharia law and its vicious and dishonest attacks on anyone who dares to uphold the Constitution by opposing sharia law. There is one thing Awad said with which we agree: “Their [our enemies’] only hope of an American victory is one we inflict on ourselves.” And that self-inflicted wound begins with refusing to see who CAIR really is and believing the propaganda put out by CAIR and its fellow travelers.
