NC State Senator to bu CHairman of CAIR!

This is another WTF moment in American politics!!

Reported today in the Fayetteville Observer:

RALEIGH — Sen. Larry Shaw of Fayetteville has been elected chairman of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Shaw, a Democrat, has served on the organization’s board for three years.

He described the council, known as CAIR, as a civil rights organization. Shaw said he looks forward to partnering with President Obama’s administration to protect civil liberties and help improve America’s international image.

“We just want to work with them to foster better understanding and mutual accommodating,” Shaw said.

The council is active on other issues, he said, such as sensitivity training with law enforcement and the efforts to bring peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors.

According to the news release, the nonprofit council is America’s largest Muslim civil liberties group, with 35 offices and chapters in the United States and Canada. It says it seeks to enhance understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.

The article DOES NOT mention, that the FBI has issued a memorandum CUTTING TIES with CAIR because of it’s ties to ILLEGAL HAMAS FUNDING.

The Article does NOT mention CAIR’s co-founder’ statement: the Qur’an should be “the highest authority in America,” and the organization’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, which is dedicated in its own words to “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within.”

Were is the MAINSTREAM Media coverage of THIS bozo????
