Islamofascism at CAIR: photo doctored for Islamic correctness
Topics: Understanding IslamWhat happens if a woman shows up for a CAIR photo-op without a hijab? No problem! They'll just Photoshop one on!
These photos were sent to a Jihad Watch reader. There is a screenshot of CAIR's front page when this photo was featured; it has now been taken down, perhaps while the photo doctorer attends Photoshop classes. The Google cache of the front page is here.
Jihad Watch writes: "This is a small thing, of course. Just a bit of silliness. But coming from an organization that brands the truth about Islam "Islamophobia" and has never answered uncomfortable questions about its own loyalties and affiliations, it raises larger issues of trust. Why do the mainstream media and many government organizations still give CAIR a free pass as a neutral civil rights group when its commitment to the truth is so manifestly tenuous?"
However, the TELLING STORY is in the updates to CAIR's attempt to censor the photo to make it look more Islamic.
In an 11:00AM addendum at 'JW': "CAIR had taken down the picture, indicating that they were paying close attention to what goes on at Jihad Watch. The photo was also then missing from the Google Cache. It looks as if the good folks at CAIR very much do not want you to know about their little adventure in Photoshopping. (Thanks to Dr. Glenn Reynolds.)"
THEN, in a 12:30PM Addendum at 'JW': "The UNdoctored photo was then at CAIR's site, confirming that not only was the clumsy hijab added to the woman standing next to the speaker, but to two female heads in the audience. In a nice Orwellian touch, the undoctored photo now also appears in Google's Cache of the page."
So CAIR has again provided us with yet another reason to consider "The five most dangerous words with regard to Muslim immigration to the West.":
1. Maybe
2. they
3. won't
4. become
5. extremists."
Risk everything on a "maybe" given all that has happened, and all that we know about the tenets, the attitudes, the atmospherics, of Islam, and about the tremendous sense of loyalty to Islam that Muslims, even those "moderates," immediately feel when they sense any criticism of it? Jihad Watch has much more...
