I founded ACT! for America because Islamic militants have declared war on America. I know what this means. For years, I witnessed first-hand how brutally jihadists treat non-Muslims.
We are in for the fight of our lives and we must ACT! - before it's too late.
City Council resolution calls for Muslim school holidays; Mayor Bloomberg says no to recommendation
BY Celeste Katz AND Frank Lombardi
DAILY NEWS CITY HALL BUREAU
After a three-year lobbying effort, the City Council overwhelmingly passed a resolution Tuesday calling for school to be closed on the two holiest Muslim holidays.
But Mayor Bloomberg said he would not make the change called for in the resolution, which is nonbinding. “One of the problems you have with a diverse city,” he said, “is that if you close the schools for every single holiday, there won’t be any school.”
CAIRing about the truth: Who speaks for American Muslims?
By CHARLES COLSON
BreakPoint
If you watch or read a report on Islam or Muslims in the United States, you will probably come across the acronym CAIR, which stands for the Council on American-Islamic Relations. CAIR is the unofficial voice of Islam in America, mostly because government officials and the media treat it as such.
This leads to the question: Should they? My friend Congressman Frank Wolf says “no,” and he has very good reasons—as he told Congress last Friday. Wolf’s interest in CAIR was piqued when he learned that the FBI had severed “its once-close ties with” CAIR “amid mounting evidence that it has links to a support network for Hamas.” Since Hamas “is on the current list of U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organizations,” such an allegation, if proven, wouldn’t only warrant the severing of ties, it would also call CAIR’s credibility into question.
