DAR AL HARB - U.S.A.: 'CIVIL RIGHTS COMPLAINTS' ARE ON THE RISE, SO SAYS C.A.I.R.

Of course C.A.I.R. instead of addressing the jihad they are waging, their community is waging, etc. has decided to take a different approach...

They have decided to attack the redneck Americans and bloviate about how their rights (moslems that is) are being infringed upon...

They don't mention on how a daily basis moslems in America are infringing on the rights of Americans...

NO NO NO, WE CANNOT HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT BECAUSE MOSLEMS ARE SPECIAL, THEY NEED TO BE TREATED WITH KID GLOVES BY THEIR DHIMMI SUBJECTS (AMERICANS), ETC...ETC...ETC...

I JUST DON'T GIVE ONE FLYING BUTT MONKEY OF A DAMN ABOUT THEIR COMPLAINTS...


Civil rights complaints rose in 2006, Muslim group reports
Filings against US agencies more than doubled
By David Morgan, Reuters

WASHINGTON -- The number of civil rights complaints by Muslims in the United States jumped 25 percent in 2006, mainly because of a surge in immigration and citizenship problems, a leading US Muslim group said yesterday.

In its annual report on civil rights, the Council on American-Islamic Relations said it processed 2,467 complaints last year, up from 1,972 in 2005.

Discrimination complaints against federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department, more than doubled to 890 filings from about 380 in 2005 and accounted for more than 36 percent of civil rights complaints.

"This is the first time since 2004 that government agencies represented the highest percentage of complaints," the council said in the 40-page report, "The Status of Muslim Civil Rights in the United States."

"This increase was due primarily to the number of cases related to major immigration issues such as citizenship and naturalization delays," the report said.

Hate crime complaints, including physical attacks against individuals and mosques, rose 9.2 percent to 167 in 2006, compared with 153 a year earlier, the Washington-based advocacy group said in the report.

But hate crimes also declined as a percentage of all complaints, as did other discrimination categories, including racial or religious profiling and verbal harassment.

C.A.I.R. has not denied the following report:

CAIR membership falls 90% since 9/11
By Audrey Hudson

Membership in the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has declined more than 90 percent since the 2001 terrorist attacks, according to tax documents obtained by The Washington Times.

The number of reported members spiraled down from more than 29,000 in 2000 to fewer than 1,700 in 2006. As a result, the Muslim rights group's annual income from dues dropped from $732,765 in 2000, when yearly dues cost $25, to $58,750 last year, when the group charged $35.

The organization instead is relying on about two dozen donors a year to contribute the majority of the money for CAIR's budget, which reached nearly $3 million last year.

Asked about the decline, Parvez Ahmed, CAIR's board chairman, pointed to the number of donors.

"We are proud that our grass-roots support in the American Muslim community has allowed CAIR to grow from having eight chapters and offices in 2001 to having 33 today," Mr. Ahmed said.

The self-described civil liberties organization for Muslims seeks to portray "a positive image of Islam" through public relations and the press, but instead has alienated some by defending questionable accusations of discrimination.

Critics of the organization say they are not surprised that membership is sagging, and that a recent decision by the Justice Department to name CAIR as "unindicted co-conspirators" in a federal case against another foundation charged with providing funds to a terrorist group could discourage new members.

M. Zuhdi Jasser, director of American Islamic Forum for Democracy, says the sharp decline in membership calls into question whether the organization speaks for American Muslims, as the group has claimed.

"This is the untold story in the myth that CAIR represents the American Muslim population. They only represent their membership and donors," Mr. Jasser said.

"Post-9/11, they have marginalized themselves by their tired exploitation of media attention for victimization issues at the expense of representing the priorities of the American Muslim population," Mr. Jasser said.

The organization has condemned some suicide bombings in Israel but has been criticized for refusing to condemn Hamas or Hezbollah by name.

Sen. Barbara Boxer, California Democrat, rescinded a "certificate of accomplishment" to Sacramento activist Basim Elkarra after learning that he was a CAIR official, according to Newsweek magazine.
