CAIR vs. the Truth

The Hamas-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, war on the truth about Islam and jihad continues: Now it has announced that it is insulted by the term “Islamist.” Or at least by its negative usage to refer to Islamic supremacists who want to impose Islamic law on free people.

In an op-ed, Hamas-CAIR’s Ibrahim Hooper whined that the term was “currently used in an almost exclusively pejorative context.” Hooper complained about AP’s stylebook, which defines the term as a “supporter of government in accord with the laws of Islam. Those who view the Quran as a political model encompass a wide range of Muslims, from mainstream politicians to militants known as jihadi.”

What would CAIR call them?

The irony here is that for a long time the only acceptable term, as far as the dhimmi press were concerned, has been “Islamist.” The media and political elites struggle to obscure the political, violent and supremacist aspects of Islam, jihad and the Shariah, and twist themselves into knots to obscure the real motive and ideology that claims the lives of hundreds of thousands of infidels, kuffar and apostates from Islam.

As part of their long-standing efforts to exonerate Islam from any responsibility for the violence committed in its name, they have long settled on the ridiculous term “Islamist” for violent Muslims and supremacist advocates of Shariah. I have long had an issue with such intellectual dishonesty. Essentially, what does it mean to say that someone or something is “Islamist” as opposed to “Islamic”? Nothing, really, except that the person speaking doesn’t want to offend Islam by speaking unwelcome truths about the political nature of the religion.
