CAIR Goes Ballistic On Gingrich, Calls Him “One of The Nation’s Worst Promoters of Anti-Muslim Bigotry”…

He’s obviously doing something right.

(Fox News) — The largest Muslim civil liberties group in the United States on Wednesday condemned Newt Gingrich for saying he would only hire Muslims to his administration if they renounced the use of Islam’s Shariah law as a tool for U.S. government.

Calling Gingrich “one of the nation’s worst promoters of anti-Muslim bigotry,” the Council of American Islamic Relations suggested the Republican presidential candidate is a segregationist.

“Newt Gingrich’s vision of America segregates our citizens by faith. His outdated political ideas look backward to a time when Catholics and Jews were vilified and their faiths called a threat,” said CAIR Legislative Director Corey Sayolor in a statement.

“The time for bias in American politics has passed and Newt Gingrich looks like a relic of an ugly era,” Sayolor said.

CAIR said the release was prompted by the candidate’s remarks Tuesday in Columbia when, asked if he would ever endorse a Muslim running for president.

“It would depend entirely on whether they would commit in public to give up Shariah,” Gingrich said.

“A truly modern person who happened to worship Allah would not be a threat, a person who belonged to any kind of belief in Shariah, any effort to impose it on the rest of us, would be a mortal threat,” Gingrich told the crowd, adding that he’s “totally opposed” to Shariah law being applied in American courts and favors a federal law that “preempts” its use.

    _Stop American Censorship
    On Wednesday Jan. 18th thousands of sites will go dark to protest SOPA & PIPA, two US bills racing through Congress that threaten prosperity, online security, and freedom of expression.

    Thank you for being a part of the largest online protest in US history. Senators need to hear from you NOW.

    One of the biggest reasons I want Newt to win, he has a very big clue about islam.
    I still have not heard Romney utter the words, the closest was the other night talking about the Taliban, not the same thing.

    Hey asshats, acts of terrorism, honor killings and anti American protests are the biggest contributors of anti Muslim bigotry, why don’t you go talk to the clerics about that. My vote will go to the first candidate who says I don’t give a fuck what CAIR says or why they’re pissed off today.

    I’ve been for Newt for awhile now. When I watch him at the debates, I am convinced he is the man to debate Obama and turn America around and get us back on track. I am convinced of it. Romney will be more of the same, but just not as fast. We still have a long way to go before November and a myriad of things can happen before then. Newt will get bombarded by the media and other candidates, but I won’t listen. Newt is the one for me and the one for America.

    VOTE GINGRICH 2012

    The only person that can beat Obama in a debate is Newt.

    I really hope he does not apologize to CAIR and Muslims for his TRUTHFUL COMMENTS. If he does, he’s sunk and so is America under Mitt Romney.

    CAIR loves Obama and can push him around the table as well as program his teleprompter.

    CAIR and IRAN will make good Obama References!

    Gingrich on Obama’s Keystone Decision: “This Is a Stunningly Stupid Thing to Do”
    Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, January 18, 2012, 12:09 PM

    Agreed.

    Newt says Obama’s decision to nix the Keystone pipeline is “Stunningly Stupid.”

    FOX Nation and The Politico reported:

    POLITICO’s Ginger Gibson reports from the trail in South Carolina that Newt Gingrich is taking the Obama administration to task over the forthcoming decision to pull the plug on the U.S.-Canadian oil pipeline:

    Newt Gingrich, who frequently talks about the Keystone Pipeline in his stump speech, railed on the news that President Obama is rejecting the permit.

    Speaking to a standing-room only crowd of about 350 people in Warrenville, S.C., “boos” erupted when Gingrich said the pipeline had been “vetoed.”

    “Now, this is a stunningly,” Gingrich began until he was interuppted by a crowd members shouting “stupid mistake.”

    After pausing for a moment Gingrich responded, “This is a stunningly stupid thing to do.”

    He can’t help it, Newt. It’s waht he does – kills jobs, plays golf.

    Islam/muslims are the enemy. We all should be anti-muslim and voice it loud and clear. Need to send these vermin back to the sandbox from which they came.

    I had trouble getting the article’s comments to load. The few I was able to read were cathartic, as it always is to read comments regarding the terrorist front group and hate mongering pisslamic imperialists that are Cancerous Asslifters in America.

    “Segregationist!!!” OMG! That’s too funny, the infidel-hating, women-hating, pisslamic sect-hating, homosexual hating, racists, slave loving, pisslamic bigots who honor a murdering, raping, schizophrenic calling other people bigots?

    Fuck off mooslums!!! Piss be upon moehammy and allalalalala!

    Go Newt! Say it!!!

    A truly modern person who worships Allah??? In muzz countries, that means dead person walking.

    Sorry, muzzes, but the genie’s out of the bottle and we all know about what the koran teaches.

    If Newt is as he seems to be and not just saying anything to win a vote I am for him. If he would promise to throw every muslim out of the United States I would absolutely vote for him. Why are we coddling muslims when most of them want Americans eliminated as a people? Only a clueless, weak-minded fool would support a lethal enemy in the name of “diversity”.

    TY Newt.

    CAIR has merged the boy who cried wolf,religious fanaticism,a bank account and a g-d complex to become the most assinine,prophets for fools-the ignorant and mentally ill the world will ever see.

    50 million + Indians murdered

    120 million + Africans

    11 genocides

    billions of rapes

    140 million women sexually mutilated

    1400 of enslaving people

    millions of gays,jews,sikhs,buddhist ,sunni,shiite,marionites,dervishs,greeks,wallachians,bosnians ,chechens,russians,englishmen ,americans,russians ,romans,druze,zoroastrians,copts,thai’s,philippinos,persians,baath’s etcetc and Christians slaughtered

    invasions,forced conversions and religious taxation in over 200 countries

    death and annihilation threats to all non islamic countries

    All in the name of allah,muhammad and sharia.

    how stupid would we be to allow any muslims or sharia based politicians into power?

    We can only wish for separation because our filthy muslim potus imports these mentally ill freaks.

    What’s in a name, Dajja?

    “‘A truly modern person who happened to worship Allah would not be a threat, a person who belonged to any kind of belief in Shariah, any effort to impose it on the rest of us, would be a mortal threat,” Gingrich told the crowd, adding that he’s “totally opposed” to Shariah law being applied in American courts and favors a federal law that “preempts” its use.”

    Note: Newt is not saying he would not hire a Muslim for an Administration job. He is not saying he wouldn’t hire a Muslim who believed in Sharia law. He is saying he who wouldn’t hire a Muslim who was part of an effort to impose Sharia on the rest of us. Exactly what is wrong with that? Congress shall make no law establishing a religion. Now where have we heard that before

  54. GeorgiaLeonidas says:
    January 19, 2012 at 9:21 am

    Shouldn’t they have said BEST promoter of anti-Muslim bigotry? The title of “worst” promoter of such bigotry belongs to Obama.

    Filty, ignorant rug-lickers!…wait, did I just beat Newt out as the best?
