CAIR Fights Latest Security Measures

The hamas front group CAIR is naturally fighting against new measures to protect American security since of course the pro-jihadist group wants islamic terrorists to be successful in carrying out attacks against America. I wonder why this group isn't placed on the terrorist list or better yet shut down.

‘Profiling’ of Muslims in US slammed

The increasing number of crimes caused by anti-Islam hatred has become alarming in the US, the Council on American Islamic Relations warned.

In a letter to US President Barack Obama, CAIR’s national executive director, Nihad Awad, complained about the situation.

Washington-based CAIR officials claim that new airport security guidelines, under which anyone traveling from or through 14 Muslim-majority nations will be required to go through enhanced screening techniques before boarding flights, will disproportionately target American Muslims who have family or spiritual ties to the Islamic world and are therefore subject to religious and ethnic profiling.

Of course it will disproportionately target muslims and rightly so since the terrorists are exclusively muslim.

In a statement, the CAIR leadership claimed that the Transport Security Administration’s security directives would result in the profiling of Muslims.

“Under these new guidelines, almost every American Muslim who travels to see family or friends or goes on pilgrimage to Mecca will automatically be singled out for special security checks–that’s profiling,” said Awad.

While singling out travelers based on religion and national origin may make some people feel safer, it only serves to alienate and stigmatize Muslims and does nothing to improve airline security, he said.

“We all support effective security measures that will protect the traveling public from an attack such as that attempted on Christmas Day,” added Awad. “But knee-jerk policies will not address this serious challenge to public safety.”

Cuba, Sudan, Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Yemen are on the list of countries subject to the enhanced screening for travelers heading to the United States.

After Mansour Mohammed Asad's anti-Semitic outburst yesterday, profiling is definitely needed! They brought it on themselves.
