The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a hate group whose co-founder openly stated that he supports Hamas and who celebrated the Oct 7 attacks on Israel, spends a lot of its time complaining that Muslims are wrongly suspected of supporting Islamic terrorism.

In its latest “Islamophobia report,” busily being promoted by the media, CAIR complains that there are too many Muslims on the ‘No-Fly’ list.

“CAIR was given access to copies of the No-Fly List and Selectee List, subsets of what is colloquially known as the “terror watchlist.” An expert statistical analysis estimates that at least 98.3% of the names on the watchlist are identifiably Muslim. 

More than 350,000 entries alone in the portion of the watchlist acquired by CAIR include some transliteration of Mohamed or Ali or Mahmoud, and the top 50 most frequently occurring names are all Muslim names.”

Giving CAIR access to the terror watch list is like giving an arsonist the key to a barn.

But who exactly has been trying to hijack, bomb or blow up planes since 9/11? Too many Mohammeds on the list?

Like Mohamed Atta, the lead hijacker on 9/11?

Every single airplane downed by terrorists beginning on 9/11 was the work of the Religion of Peace. So were various failed efforts like the Shoe Bomber and the Underwear Bomber. And the 2006 Transatlantic plot to take down planes. 

Even airport attacks like the Glasgow attack in 2007 (had the perps waited 15 years, they could have just become First Minister) and the Orly Airport attack in 2017 were the work of the people reading from the same book as CAIR.

So who should be on the No-Fly List? The Amish? (Some of them do fly.) The Buddhists? Hindus? Jews? Christians? Zoroastrians? Or maybe the people who keep hijacking and bombing planes? (And also currently ships.)

Apologists for Islamic terrorism keep treating responses to terrorism as evidence that the victims are guilty of oppressing them. Whether it’s in America or Israel, “you caught us” becomes “how dare you suspect us”.

When really it should be, “How dare you hijack planes and fly them into buildings to kill thousands of people.”
