Chalk up another victory for the terrorists' Fifth Column -- the Council on American-Islamic Relations. After much prodding and capitalizing on phony incidents of racial profiling, CAIR has achieved something few Americans have achieved -- they got airport security officials to back off.

The Transportation Security Administration announced a new training program -- some may call it an indoctrination program -- that will be mandated for more than 45,000 security officers and supervisors. No, it's not training that'll be used to identify terrorists or protect airline passengers. This training program is being billed as "Muslim Sensitivity Training."

In a press release sent to US media organizations, CAIR said it welcomed the "special training about Islamic traditions" including the Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca, which entails thousands of Muslims traveling to Saudi Arabia.

The TSA cultural sensitivity training includes details about the timing of Hajj travel, about items pilgrims may be carrying and about Islamic prayers that may be observed by security personnel.

Earlier this month, CAIR advised those going on Hajj to be aware of their civil and legal rights as airline passengers.

CAIR's "Your Rights and Responsibilities as an American Muslim" pocket guide states:

"As an airline passenger, you are entitled to courteous, respectful and non-stigmatizing
treatment by airline and security personnel. You have the right to complain about treatment that you believe is discriminatory."

"We welcome the fact that airport security officers nationwide will now be better informed about Islamic traditions relating to Hajj," said CAIR Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper.

"This proactive effort on the part of the Transportation Security Administration demonstrates that there is no contradiction between the need to maintain airline safety and security and the duty to protect the religious and civil rights of airline passengers."

Hooper said representatives of CAIR chapters nationwide have met with TSA, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials on issues related to cultural sensitivity and national security.

CAIR, America's largest Islamic civil liberties group, has 32 offices and chapters nationwide and in Canada. Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.

Perhaps American Christians and Jews should start complaining about their treatment at airports, as well. The current strategy of strip-searching elderly women and invalids appears to be a bit insensitive to this writer. Forcing women to drink their own breast milk appears to be insensitive.

While CAIR continues to portray itself as a moderate organization, its history is filled with red flags that are ignored by the mainstream news media.

According to a report from the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Terrorism and Homeland Security:

"The Council on American-Islamic Relations and its employees have combined, conspired, and agreed with third parties, including, but not limited to, the Islamic Association for Palestine , the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, the Global Relief Foundation, and foreign nationals hostile to the interests of the United States, to provide material support to known terrorist organizations, to advance the Hamas agenda, and to propagate radical Islam."

"The Council on American-Islamic Relations, and certain of its officers, directors, and employees, have acted in support of, and in furtherance of, this conspiracy," said the Senate report.

Dr. Daniel Pipes, a foremost expert on radical Islam and terrorism cites several criminal cases involving CAIR officials:

A senior staff member, Randall Royer a/k/a “Ismail” Royer, pled guilty and was sentenced to twenty years in prison for participating in a network of militant jihadists centered in Northern Virginia. He admitted to aiding and abetting three persons who sought training in a terrorist camp in Pakistan for the purpose of waging jihad against American troops in Afghanistan. Royer’s illegal actions occurred while he was employed by CAIR.

Their Director of Public Affairs, Bassem Kafagi was arrested by the US due to his ties with a terror-financing front group. Khafagi pled guilty to charges of visa and bank fraud, and agreed to be deported to Egypt. Khafagi’s illegal actions occurred while he was employed by CAIR.

Ghassan Elashi, a founder of CAIR Texas chapter and founder of the Holy Land Foundation was arrested by the United States and charged with, making false statements on export declarations, dealing in the property of a designated terrorist organization, conspiracy and money laundering. Ghassan Elashi committed his crimes while working at CAIR, and was found guilty.

CAIR Board Member Imam Siraj Wahaj, an un-indicted co-conspirator in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, has called for replacing the American government with an Islamic caliphate, and warned that America will crumble unless it accepts Islam.

Whenever CAIR is accused of wrongdoing, their spokesmen are quick to tell Americans that its leadership have been guests at President Bush's White House and that they are regularly consulted by US officials on matters involving homeland security.

Too be sure, the Bush Administration intentionally or unintentionally provides CAIR with cover, but the officials with whom CAIR staff claim they work are usually people such as Rep. John Conyers, a Democrat serving a large Muslim population in Michigan, and a long-time terrorist and Marxist sympathizer. CAIR and other Muslim groups have funneled campaign contributions to Conyers, who in January begins his tenure as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

Many believe it was Rep. Conyers who aided CAIR in achieving their politically correct victory.

I would like to know if there are any Christian sensitivity courses in the Muslim countries???? Somehow I doubt it, especially from the quote below:

"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran ... should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth.
Everything we need to know is in the Koran. We don't need to look somewhere else."
-- Omar M. Ahmad, chairman of CAIR, the mainsteam Muslim advocacy group, quoted in the San Ramon Valley Herald, July 4, 1998.

Quran 61:9 Islam will conquer all religions.

Somehow I doubt they have any classes like this sensitivity to Christians and Jews, I would bet they only have classes on how to remove their heads from their bodies, hang them from bridges, or burn them in the street. I have no respect for the liberals of my country, I wish they were all gone before they finish ruining my country with their nonsense! Call me a racist, I don't give a dam!

Uh, yeah, sensitivity training is covered under their law and tradition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhimmi

Your not racist NittyGritty, your sensible. If these Islamic religious leaders and organizations blatantly come out and profess that any other religion other than Islam is below, THEY ARE THE RACIST. Sorry to shout. It's a double standard.

If they want to be respected, than start respecting and appreciating other religions. Allow freedom of religion in your countries. No NittyGritty you are sensible and tollerant. They are the racists and dictators.

Glad I got my concealed weapons permit .

Bibles aren't allowed on airliners flying into Saudi Arabia. They should be reminded of this when they ask for "sensitivity". They are the ultimate racists since they perceive themselves and their ideology to be above all else. As far as I'm concerned.....pog mo thon!

Thanks CCUSA, for your kind words, before it is all over though I will be labeled a racist, that word sounds so much sweeter to me lately then being labeled a PC person instead, I vowed that part of my life is over, even if t gets me in hot water, no more PC for Nitty, I even belive in racial profiling, if little old grandmas start bombing or using our airplanes as guided missle's then I beleive all little old grandmas should naturally be checked closely, since it has been young middle eastern muslims who have done the dirty deed I say be on guard with them. I am going for my concealed permit also!

Count me in too NittyGritty!

Next time you hear them complaining ask if they believe in FREEDOM OF RELIGION?

I'd love to hear their answers.
