Nancy Pelosi Tries To Foster 'CAIR'

In Congress, Speaker Nancy Pelosi is making room for radical Islam. Literally. Last week, despite protests from other members of Congress, Pelosi gave CAIR—the Council on American-Islamic Relations—a meeting room in the U.S. Capitol to host a panel on Islam. The group’s already been tied with terror groups and questionable donors. In the last few years, five of their members have either been convicted or deported. It’s ironic. Earlier this year, Pelosi wouldn’t give congressmen a room to hold Bible studies—but she’ll give one to radical Muslims, despite their animosity toward the very government that she serves. And she did so knowing that CAIR has refused to condemn terror groups like Hezbollah and Hamas. Any organization that condones violence has no place in America’s greatest symbol of freedom and democracy. As one critic said, “You can’t fight a war on terrorism when [you’re] acting with a terror front.” In the future, Pelosi would be wise to handle CAIR with care.
