CAIR Goes After John McCain

• Views: 4,717

John McCain is the latest politician to run afoul of the Council on American Islamic Relations’ never-ending grievance theater: McCain: No Muslim president, U.S. better with Christian one.

GOP presidential candidate John McCain says America is better off with a Christian President and he doesn’t want a Muslim in the Oval Office.

“I admire the Islam. There’s a lot of good principles in it,” he said. “But I just have to say in all candor that since this nation was founded primarily on Christian principles, personally, I prefer someone who I know who has a solid grounding in my faith.” …

McCain later clarified his remarks, saying, “I would vote for a Muslim if he or she was the candidate best able to lead the country and to defend our political values.”

A Muslim rights group […and unindicted terrorist co-conspirator… – ed.] ripped the Arizona Republican’s remarks.

“That kind of attitude goes against the American tradition of religious pluralism and inclusion,” said Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations. He urged McCain to “clarify his remarks” and “stress his acceptance of political candidates of any faith.”

Again, we see mainstream media’s ridiculous lack of honesty about CAIR, and their blind willingness to promote them as an innocuous, well-intentioned “Muslim rights group.” No need to inform readers about their Muslim Brotherhood origins, their Saudi funding, or the fact that they’re unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas funding trial.
