CAIR’s Phony Lip Service on Endangered Christian Abdul Rahman
By
Where is CAIR (the Council on American Islamic Relations) on , who faces death in Afghanistan for “abandoning Islam”?
Michelle Malkin quoted CAIR’s press release calling for Rahman’s freedom. But it was just lip service. Today, She linked to a number of sites featuring pics of today’s rally at the Afghani Embassy in DC, which she says was attended by about 40 people. Funny, we didn’t see CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper’s mug or any women wearing hijabs in the photo.
Yet, when it came to , they held multiple press conferences and flew all the way to Amman, Jordan. Gee, we doubt their travel agent has gotten the call to fly Hooper or CAIR executive director Nihad Awad to Kabul.
And CAIR didn’t ask anyone to attend today’s rally to save Abdul Rahman’s life. On the other hand, CAIR did e-mail its members to attend a supporting illegal immigrants and protesting the slightly tougher immigration legislation before Congress, Monday.

I greatly admire this manĂs courage. I heard yesterday that a “Judge” offered him the opportunity to renounce his faith but that Mr. Rahman refused. How many of us have that kind of courage? I pray God will strengthen and keep him.
