I get asked this question a lot...

[DeadCanDance]

I dont trust cair, but the other clerics, its good they condemn but actions are needed too, we need their help, and them to go against and stop teaching bad stuff. YOu understand ?

I went to CAIR's website and was hard pressed to find anything about them preaching either hate, or "bad stuff"

There's a lot of advocacy for american-muslim civil rights. They are an advocacy group, after all.

But, their home web page doesn't seem to have a lot of hate in it....links from their website, below:

-CAIR statements on the events of September 11

"We condemn in the strongest terms possible what are apparently vicious and cowardly acts of terrorism against innocent civilians. We join with all Americans in calling for the swift apprehension and punishment of the perpetrators. No cause could ever be assisted by such immoral acts.

"All members of the Muslim community are asked to offer whatever help they can to the victims and their families. Muslim medical professionals should go to the scenes of the attacks to offer aid and comfort to the victims.”

-CANADIAN MUSLIM SCHOLARS REJECT "MISGUIDED" CALLS FOR JIHAD

(OTTAWA, CANADA) - The Canadian office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR CAN) and the Canadian Muslim Civil Liberties Association (CMCLA) today denounced a series of recent statements made by Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda network that state that Muslims should wage a "jihad" against Americans.

In a joint statement endorsed by prominent Canadian Islamic scholars (Dr. Jamal Badawi, Imam Munir El-Kassem, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty), the two organizations wrote:

"Islam respects the sacredness of life, and rejects any express statement or tacit insinuation that Muslims should harm innocent people. Despite our disagreement with certain American policies, we must never abuse the concept of Jihad to target innocent civilians.
