CAIR has gotten better at camouflaging what it is, and it’s gained enormous political influence, but every now and then it sets out to remind you that it’s the arm of a Jihadist operation whose allegiance is to the enemies of this country.
This is one of those times.
Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro named a future landing helicopter assault ship after the first and second Battle of Fallujah, the Navy announced Tuesday.
LHA-9, an America-class amphibious assault ship, will be called USS Fallujah, the Navy said in a news release. Del Toro announced the name at a promotion ceremony for Private 1st Class Chesty, the Marine Corps bulldog mascot.
“The name selection follows the tradition of naming amphibious ships after the U.S. Marine Corps battles, early U.S. sailing ships or legacy names of earlier carriers from World War II,” Del Toro said during the announcement. “It is an honor for me for our nation to memorialize the Marines, the soldiers and coalition forces that fought valiantly and those who sacrificed their lives during both battles of Fallujah.”
The two battles of Fallujah were fought in 2004 during the Iraq War. The first, occurring in April, was an effort to kill or capture insurgents thought to be responsible for the deaths of four U.S. contractors. The second, in November and December, was a U.S. attempt to retake control of Fallujah, according to the Navy announcement.
I’m not a fan of Del Toro, but this is the right thing to do. According to everyone. Except our enemies.
Speaking of our enemies, CAIR objects.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today called on the U.S. Navy to change the name of the future America-class amphibious assault ship “USS Fallujah.”
“Just as our nation would never name a ship the ‘USS Abu Ghraib,’ the Navy should not name a vessel after notorious battles in Fallujah that left hundreds of civilians dead, and countless children suffering from birth defects for years afterward,” said CAIR National Deputy Director Edward Ahmed Mitchell. “There must be a better name for this ship – one that does not evoke horrific scenes from an illegal and unjust war.”
In 2021, CAIR called on major console companies, including Microsoft (X Box) and Sony (PlayStation) and Valve not to host or digitally distribute the video game “Six Days in Fallujah.”
Losers rarely like to be reminded of losing battles.
In Fallujah, the United States was fighting a number of Sunni Jihadis (CAIR is a Sunni operation linked to the Muslim Brotherhood), some that would become part of ISIS.
The Muslim Brotherhood endorsed the “resistance”.
The Brotherhood’s spiritual leader, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, issued a fatwa declaring that, “Those killed fighting the American forces are martyrs.”
CAIR isn’t concerned about “civilian casualties” in Iraq. Qaradawi had complained about Saudi attempts to tamp down support for terrorism, “It is unfortunate to hear that the grand imam has said it was not permissible to kill civilians in any country or state, even in Israel.”
And what’s CAIR’s view of Qaradawi?
Nihad Awad, founder and executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), described Qaradawi as “The most influential contemporary Muslim scholar.”
CAIR’s San Francisco Bay Area chapter headed by former Women’s March board member Zahra Billoo, mourned him calling Qaradawi’s passing “the end of an era in contemporary Islam.”
The Bund probably wouldn’t have favored ships named after battles in which the Nazis lost. CAIR doesn’t like to have its nose rubbed in Fallujah.
While the Iraq War was a waste of resources, we ought to remember Fallujah because the day will come when we may be refighting it in this country.
“Under extraordinary odds, the Marines prevailed against a determined enemy who enjoyed all the advantages of defending in an urban area,” Berger said in the statement. “The Battle of Fallujah is, and will remain, imprinted in the minds of all Marines and serves as a reminder to our Nation, and its foes, why our Marines call themselves the world’s finest.”
Let’s take a moment to remember how Fallujah began. And consider how history has a way of repeating itself.
Exactly how the contractors’ convoy was stopped probably never will be clear. Some reports suggested it had made the fatal mistake of hitting the brakes when armed men blocked the path, rather than flooring the accelerator in the hope of barging through. Others suggested the occupants already had been killed by gunshots before their cars even ground to a halt.
Given what happened next, their grieving families probably hope profoundly that it was the latter. In an act of savagery shocking even by the blood-soaked standards of Iraq’s worst trouble spot, the bodies of the four men inside the vehicles were beaten, burned, hacked at and then dragged through the streets of Fallujah.
In what turned into a macabre and murderous town fete, locals cheered as one corpse was attached to a car tow rope and pulled triumphantly up and down the main road in full view of a camera crew.
But there was worse to come: As a crowning glory for the insurgent gunmen, the remains of two charred and mangled corpses were hung from a green iron bridge across the Euphrates River.“The people of Fallujah hanged some of the bodies on the old bridge like slaughtered sheep,” resident Abdul Aziz Mohammed said gleefully.
It wouldn’t surprise me too much if Abdul is living in Dearborn these days.
These people simply don’t belong here, their every move is aimed at weakening the US.
Absolutely.
The membership of a philosophy dedicated to refutation of The Golden Rule have no legitimate place in any society dedicated to its observance.
A “religion” that gains power over others by murdering those who do not believe in being ruled by it, does not meet the criteria for the title of religion. Religion is supposed to ‘tie’ the practitioner back to their Creator & their Creator is usually the One that Created everything & everyone else. A fascist movement that murders those who do not conform to the dictates of the leaders & has world domination as its stated goal is not benevolent, healthy or acceptable. It is a savage method for dominating the people of the earth, not a plan for spiritual advancement of any kind.
Unfortunately we can’t get rid of them or call out their hate for America with our gov’t and societal norms as they are. Seems like we are doomed.
The fact that CAIR has enormous bipartisan influence makes it very clear what it is. McCain and CAIR understood each other really well.
CAIR is smart in sense that they offer the peace loving enemy exactly what such an enemy would most want to hear and believe. It’s a tired tactic but you don’t need fresh tactics with an enemy that can’t accept the lesson.
The dems also use it well. Neither need worry because the msm would never call either on it.
moslems – always outraged and always making demands phuque em
I concur, I think the same, and would add, deport the lot and ban their immigration.
They get no say at all.
Tell CAIR to Go Pound Sand
I demand every member of cair line up and kma for supporting islamic terrorism, and I still wouldn’t change the name. The only atrocities committed at Falluja were done by the very people cair supports. I would have handled it much differently, and cair might have a better, if still not an actual complaint. Letting the enemy get set (as best they possibly could, no less) is against my teaching. And if they allowed them to do that, they should have just stood offf and pounded the town to rubble with those that remained in it.
If we can name anything after Harvey Milk (though if he saw our “pup” soldiers now, he’d probably feel different), a name particularly insulting to the military, since he loathed us like bill clinton did, cair can pound sand, preferably on the sand they love. Dang, that’s a long sentence. The Founding Fathers would be proud, lol.
The first war against Saddam Hussein started with a mistake. After he occupied Kuwait he should have been told to get out in order to get off with only paying reparations. He also should have been told that if he does not get out and American blood is used to remove him, he is fired. He losses his job and anyone who defends his rule will be shot in battle or after. If he flees with billions after defeat, he will be found anywhere in the world and killed. There was no incentive for him to not leave Kuwait. The death of his troops was not personal enough. The first day of the war, the news should have been, “Tikrit is no more.” That was his home town. Targeting rule based on family and clan provides incentive to deal. The second war was too lenient.
“the fatal mistake of hitting the brakes when armed men blocked the path, rather than flooring the accelerator”
One of my pet peeves, about demonstrators blocking traffic. I saw that as early as the 1980s, on Shattuck Avenue in Berkeley, when I was walking to the Bart Station there. There was some kind of demonstration going on, I saw the huge glass window of the Bank of America branch come crashing down, then the leading edge of the demonstrators blocked the car of some poor lady who looked hopelessly confused, and some wacko jumped on her car. I saw a mass of police forming up on a nearby block, and got out of there quick, before the police came charging out and whacking the demonstrators..
Nowadays when a demonstrator gets run over by one of the vehicles they are blocking, MSM paints it as if the demonstrators that get run over are the victims, and the driver who was trying to escape in self-defense is guilty of attempted murder.
They also socially condemned and prosecuted some poor black guy that accidentally hit two of them coming home from his late shift, not expecting idiots standing in the freeway. Black men’s lives working an honest job instead of protesting, Burning, Looting, and Murdering, don’t matter at all to them, beyond putting a stop to it.
Thanks Cowboy!!!
CAIR is a terrorist organization.
How about the USS “Muslim Pork Chop”.
lol, good one 🙂
Hey CAIR, I don’t CARE what you want, you don’t matter, U.S. citizens do.
Page 7 of CAIR’s report on a 1991 meeting states: “The Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers…”
That this infamous organization has been allowed to remain on our soil is a disgrace.
Yes, just why were they “unindicted co-consprators,” in the Holyland case, rather than indicted ones?
CAIR, the other BLM. We need an immigration moratorium.
Why would you in an article about the naming of an LHA? What a dumbass, lol.
