Four House Republicans accused CAIR the nation's largest Muslim advocacy group of trying to "infiltrate" Capitol Hill by placing interns in the offices of lawmakers who handle national security issues.
Reps. Sue Myrick of North Carolina, Trent Franks of Arizona, Paul Broun of Georgia and John Shadegg of Arizona, asked for an investigation into the Council on American Islamic Relations based on a book scheduled for release this week.
Muslims under the microscopeIf the accusations are true, it will mean absolutely nothing because most groups and minorities (Gays, Jews, Asians ...) have the same strategy.
In the US the Lobbies are behind many political decisions, even if these decisions do not serve the interests of the taxpayer.
The Muslims in the US are subjected to laws that classify them as guilty until proven innocent, the Muslims are guilty indeed, they are guilty of understanding too late how the US politics works.
"Infiltrating" Capitol Hill Placing interns in the offices of lawmakers who handle national security issues, will in no way change the way these issues are handled.
Interns have no influence on these issues, even the employees have no influence on these issues, these national security issues are decided by politicians, and even if you fill the entire offices with interns you will not be able to change one word from the laws and memos.
C.A.I.R response to allegationsCAIR decried the call as a "racist" and "insidious" attack on Muslims and mocked the allegations.
"If it wasn't so insidious, it would be laughable,....What are their charges? CAIR seeks political participation of Muslims. I'm shocked."
CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper said.
Hooper said the evidence proves only that the group is trying, like every other minority group, to engage Muslims in the political process.
"Why is it evil when Muslims seek political participation?" he asked.
Hooper said Sperry's efforts only proved the group's good intentions.
"The guy spied on us for months, stole documents -- and the most they came up with is CAIR seeks to work with policymakers on Capitol Hill?" Hooper said.
