CAIR: Free Speech Doesn’t Apply to Michael Savage

On November 27th, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Washington, D.C.-based Islamist hate group, called for a boycott of the Michael Savage radio program by advertisers. According to CAIR, Savage made comments about Islam that CAIR has found insulting to the faith.
CAIR, part of a new group called “Hate Hurts America Community and Interfaith Coalition” (HHA), has managed to get several advertisers to abandon Savage’s radio program in submission to CAIR’s/HHA’s calls to end sponsorship.
Just who is the HHA?
Who are the members?
What is the agenda?
Anti-CAIR visited the HHA website, and as of today we noticed that it has had only 942 unique visits since the website was created. The website appears to be totally dedicated to attacking Savage and includes a button on the right side of its home page that invites people to “Join the Coalition”.
After checking the list of “members” of the HHA coalition, Anti-CAIR joined up to see just how easy it is join a group that seems to us, at first glance, to be largely made up of anti-American, anti-freedom organizations and individuals. Our sign-up was accepted. This leads us to believe this group was assembled on the spur-of-the-moment to provide a meeting place for like-minded bigots to meet and reinforce their feelings of superiority over lesser, unenlightened Americans.
The website gives the appearance that HHA is a giant organization, with hundreds of thousands of followers. Numbers apparently meant to impress…deceive…and force the hand of advertisers…advertisers that will cut and run at the first sign of controversy rather than investigate before making a decision on sponsorship.
Why do we say this?
Consider; how many of the groups/persons supporting HHA have come to the defense of Christians/Jews/Muslims that have been attacked by CAIR?
Where are these organizations and people when Dr. Daniel Pipes, Steve Emerson, Robert Spencer, and Joe Kaufman are attacked by a front group for evil?
Where is their sense of outrage then?
Savage is absolutely correct when he says that CAIR has proven ties to Islamist terrorism and Islamist terrorists. This is why CAIR wants him shut down. Anyone who speaks the truth about CAIR is a threat to the Islamist movement in North America.
If CAIR and its minions of HHA succeed in shutting Savage down, it will be one more proof that an Iron Veil is slowly descending upon us, elevating radical Islam to a position above all other religions and relegating non-Muslims and moderate Muslims to second-hand status. We must not, as a people, as a nation, as a culture, allow this to happen.
The battle has been joined; this is the time for all free Americans to stand up and say, “I support the Bill of Rights, I support my great Constitution, I will not allow a terrorist-supporting group to dictate to me!”
Savage has taken a stand that can be very unpopular among many Americans; defending our country and exposing an internal threat - posing as a “civil rights” group. Why is he the one being attacked?
If Michael Savage is silenced, who will come to your defense when radical Islam comes for you?

Emerson, a Jew who gets it
A perspective of a moderate Muslim
At the risk of sounding anti-Semitic, I want to say this: either American Jews are completely clueless about the internal struggle inside Islam or they are so cowardly, that they are even afraid to voice their opinion. Or maybe it’s a combination of both.
Every time there is a development that involves radical Islam, be it a Mayor of New York attending an Islamist parade, DOJ’s officials attending an Islamist conference, or a protester being sued for having the balls to expose an Islamist-sponsored event at an amusement park, the American Jewish community is as quiet as a church mouse. It’s like it is not even there.
The effect of this silence is devastating. Not for the Jewish community, not yet. That time is still to come. The silence affects the American Muslim community. Every time moderate Muslims are ignored and Islamists are legitimized (by either direct support from government representatives or silent support of the ADL), radicals gain ground. In the current PC climate, moderate Muslims have pretty much no choice but to keep their mouths shut.
Luckily for us, not everyone in the Jewish community is like that. There are some Jews that are speaking out. One of them is Steven Emerson, who has been warning the West about the dangers of Islamic fundamentalism since before PanAm 103. Most of his current work is focused on exposing the radicals masquerading as the moderates – those radicals who are embraced by the DOJ and the Pentagon, by the mayor of New York Bloomberg (Rudy would never get into bed with terrorist supporters) and the Treasury Department, by the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security, by the Congress and the White House.
There is a war of ideas within Islam, and moderate Muslims are losing. Most of Muslim clergy and Muslim establishment are paid for by the Wahhabis. Moderate Muslims are being run out of Mosques and community centers, and in many cases are physically threatened. Moderate Muslims have no place in the media or public debate, because the place reserved for Muslims is filled by Islamic radicals, who attempt to make criticizing anything Islamic a taboo. According to the Islamists, a Muslim can do no wrong.
1. When a non-Muslim criticizes Islam or Muslims, he/she is an Islamophobe.
2. When a Muslim criticizes Islam or Muslim, he/she is not a real Muslim, therefore see #1.
This is a tactic used by “moderate” Muslims, the darlings of the government and the media. But how can you call someone who praises bin Laden, or has ties to Hamas, or calls for the elimination of Israel, or wants to replace the Constitution with the Koran a moderate? They are anything but moderates, however nobody except for a few people like Steven Emerson seems to notice that. But even when the Emersons of America appeal to the public, they are often being dismissed as alarmists and racists. Well, they are anything, but. You don’t have to be a clairvoyant to predict the future when it comes to expansion of radical Islam and extinction of moderate Muslims. All you need to do is get your heads out of the sand.
Why our government is so forgiving and forgetful when it comes to individuals or organizations with known terrorist ties and anti-American views is beyond me. Why the Jewish leaders are so timid when it comes to the subject of radical Islam is incomprehensible.
I thank God every day for people like Steven Emerson, because they are the last glimmer of hope for moderate Muslims.
