On August 7, the Chicago office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Chicago) wrote a puff piece about two CAIR “civil rights” interns who visited Enaam Arnaout, past director of the Benevolence International Foundation (BIF). Arnaout is currently serving 10 years following his conviction in February, 2006 [for “collaboration with al Qaeda, Hezb e Islami and other violent groups in various countries.”].

To read the indictment:

CAIR “civil rights” interns visit a man in prison who committed crimes against the United States and CAIR not only trumpets the visit, CAIR goes on to use the visit as a means to further attack the government for supposed “civil rights” violations:

CAIR closes the article with, “With his strong will and conviction, Mr. Enaam Arnaout is a wonderful example of availing those rights promised to us in the US Constitution, and truly demanding the respect that comes along with being a citizen of the United States of America, regardless of race, ethnicity, or religious belief.”

“Wonderful example?” “Demanding the respect?” With these words, one would think that CAIR was describing MLK, not a cheap, guttersnipe, dirt-common Islamist terrorist thug like Arnaout. Just what kind of propaganda is CAIR spoon-feeding its “civil rights” interns and why are CAIR interns so ignorant? Does CAIR purposely search out the clueless and dimwitted when looking for interns? Is ignorance really a job requirement?

Or is something far more sinister afoot?

How wonderful! How empowering for the American Muslim community that CAIR, the sole legitimate voice of Islam in America is rushing in with “civil rights” interns and top-notch legal representation to defend Arnaout.

Arnaout, the man who would deny every non-Muslim American any semblance of civil rights is now claiming his civil rights have been violated. Pardon us while we break out the crying towels. What’s next, candlelight vigils? “Free Arnaout” t-shirts?

This is the kind of “civil rights” group that American Muslims want representing their interests?

Is this what American Muslims, and others, donate their hard-earned money to support? To send “civil rights” interns to stand up for terrorist Islamic criminals?

For shame!

Correction: In our opinion piece titled: “CAIR: Upset by the Ugly Truth of Islamic Fascism” we failed to note that President Bush has used the term “Islamofascism” in the past:
