The
expectations from Muslim leadership for the home team to better understand
its guests is unrealistic. The French, Spaniards, Norwegians, Germans,
Australians, Swedes, Dutch, Danish, Brits, Canadians, and Americans have
all experienced the Islamic thought process. Groups like the CAIR have
their hands full, and it should remain that way until they are closed
down.

Not
to be outdone by their letter to the President, CAIR has also sought a
meeting with the Ambassador to
Denmark
over “offensive cartoons.” (here
and here)
From
the column: Executive Director Nihad Awad offered his group’s assistance
“as a bridge between the Muslim community worldwide and the government
of
Denmark
.” He
proposed a meeting “to discuss
areas of mutual cooperation in helping to remedy the situation.”
“We
all value freedom of _expression and the right to critical thought,”
said Awad. “But we should also use good judgment
and common sense to avoid actions that will be perceived as intentionally
insulting to others or that promote hatred.”
Practice
what you preach, Awad. Cartoons aren’t going to make people who already
have a low opinion of Islam and its "prophet", lower their
opinion any further than it already is. And besides, if you are seeking a
meeting with the Danish Ambassador, you might want to try to touch base
with the German, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, Swiss, Hungarian, and French
Ambassadors too, because those "offensive cartoons" have also
been published in all of these European nations.
With
this latest move, the Council on “American”
Islamic Relations appears to be broadening its horizons, venturing into
Europe
’s ongoing problems with Muslim immigrants.
Have
Muslims gone overboard again with all if this ruckus over published
cartoons of Muhammad?

The
best thing any politician or media source could do for themselves is to
first distance themselves from some of these Islamic groups, and then work
to have them investigated and targeted for closure.
In
the meantime, say what you want, draw any cartoons that you desire,
sing any songs you like, wave your American flag, wave the flag of your
respective nations proudly, and always keep in mind that you are free to
do so. These lands are yours, built by your ancestors. This is the West,
not the
Middle East
, no matter how badly the CAIR or any other Muslim group wants it to
be. Never allow yourselves to be made to feel ashamed of your heritage,
it’s who you are.
