Cal Thomas and CAIR
Council on American-Islamic Relations is upset with Cal Thomas, who "compared some Muslims to a “slow spreading cancer.” Breitbart has the video. Here's what Cal said:
"How much longer should we allow people from certain lands, with certain beliefs to come to Britain and America and build their mosques, teach hate, and plot to kill us?" Thomas asked. "Okay, lets have the required disclaimer: Not all Muslims from the Middle East and southeast Asia want to kill us, but those who do blend in with those who don't. Would anyone tolerate a slow-spreading cancer because it wasn't fast-spreading? Probably not. You'd want it removed." (WTOP)
Newsbusters reports that supporters of Cal Thomas can go to WTOP Contact Page and let your views be known. You can be sure CAIR members are making contacts:
CNS reports that CAIR is urging supporters to call DC radio station WTOP-AM to “express your concerns.” CAIR described the Thomas comments as “incitement.” The message included the name and work number of a radio station executive. (Breitbart)

Good on Cal! I sent an email supporting him.
CAIR's days could be numbered. After all, the organization has been named as an unindicted co-conspirator in that case in Dallas.
We need to go after CAIR with both feet at this point. I'm sure that a thorough investigation of their finances can undo them.

It could be the unspoken message that the cancer needs to be cut out early that upset the Muslims.
Cal Thomas is a long-time Conservative, Christian, writer. I first read him in Newspapers years ago.

Here are other articles that indicate the aggression against free speech that CAIR is taking, they are making a list, checking it twice, how long before the beheadings start???

I've no idea who Cal Thomas is (not being American) but he is certainly spot on! Until people realise the truth in what he says then the West will continue as a slowly sinking ship.

Kevin, I think they're offended by Thomas' mere existence.
Just like they're offended by the existence of any non-muslim.

I assume they were offended by the "slow spreading" part?
