The saga of the February 13 Yorba Linda protest continued last night in neighboring Villa Park, where the minions of CAIR continued their slur campaign against Villa Park city councilwoman Deb Pauly for her speech at the aforementioned protest. In that speech Pauly said that she knew a few Marines who could help send terrorists to Paradise. In response, CAIR and the Islamic Circle of North America edited her words in a 5 minute videotape to imply that she was referring to killing the event attendees and American Muslims in general-which is a bunch of horseradish.
Last night, the Villa Park City Council met and people from both sides turned out to address the controversy. Most of the other council members apparently are only too eager to do CAIR's bidding and censure Pauly or get her to apologize. CAIR, in their usual intimidating way, got a few hundred people to turn out to hold signs and shout slogans (How ironic). Also present were several dozen Pauly supporters. Representatives of both sides were able to speak at the council meeting. Below is a report from the Orange County Register with a video.

Below is one of the most biased lead intros you will ever see from LA's CBS affiliate. It showed last night at 11 pm after the meeting had concluded.

You talk about slanted reporting.
"Ya talk about chickensh--!"
Almost lost in the hubbub is the fact that a local man has been arrested for threatening to kill Pauly. You talk about hate speech!
In addition, OC Register columnist Frank Mickadeit has been writing on the controversy this week. In his March 21 column, he points out the history of anti-Semitic hate speech by one of the Yorba Linda ICNA speakers, Amir Abdel Malik Ali and asks whether CAIR's LA boss Hassam Ayloush should also condemn Ali's words.

This morning, Mickadeit reports that Ayloush has indeed issued a "condemnation".

Well, no sooner than Mickadeit hit his send button than my friend David Stein at Counter Contempt publishes this interesting bit of history regarding Ayloush and Ali.

You talk about two-faced!
"Ya talk about chickensh--!"
In the end, Pauly did not apologize (Good). CAIR and their followers are promising to continue demonstrating until she does.
First of all, I was present at Pauly's speech at Yorba Linda. When it came to Islamic terror and radical Islam, she minced no words; however, I never got the impression that she was talking about Marines sending American Muslims in general to Paradise or that she was calling all Muslims terrorists. She has nothing to apologize for. It is ICNA (and CAIR) that should apologize to the citizens of Yorba Linda for bringing in hate-mongering speakers like Amir Abdel Malik Ali and Siraj Wahhaj to their community.
Note to Pauly. Tell em' to go to Hell.
If Pauly said that she knew a few Marines who could help send terrorists to Paradise, she undermined her own cause. Naturally, in the context of a protest about a fundraising at a community center, people might get the impression her statement had something to do with the reason she was speaking there.
ReplyDeleteThere is not reason she should apologize. My own philosophy is, if I'm sorry, I'll say so, if I don't, I'm probably not. Right or wrong, she should not say she is sorry unless she is, and that's a matter for her to decide, not a city council resolution.
The rally to speak out against the hate of Malik Ali has now paid off. The executive director of CAIR has now come out against part of one speech from Malik Ali.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn’t nearly far enough but CAIR would look pretty damn hypocritical if they ignored Ali’s comments after all the press that has been given to this story.
It is also telling that Ayloush did not also condemn Ali for openly supporting HAMAS, Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah. The comment by Ayloush was a very isolated condemnation just so he could say he did condemn Malik Ali's speech. Ayloush is coming off worse than a bad used car salesman in dealing with this incident.
Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteDid you read the link to Counter Contempt? Ayloush has his own history of connections to Malik Ali and defended a previous hate statement Ali made a few years back. Ayloush is talking out of both sides of his mouth.
Gary,
ReplyDeleteYes, I read that link. Even before reading the link I thought Ayloush came off like a bad politician trying to play both sides of the fence with his less than dishonest presentation of the event and his willful ignorance of his understanding of the First Admenentment.
He now can say that he has condemned Malik Ali so people cannot ask rehoricially, why CAIR hasn’t condemned Malik Ali?
The isolated condemnation won’t prevent the MSU at UC Irvine from inviting Malik Ali to come speak on the campus. They are so self-righteous that they have no sense of reality. They will also say they are against the use of violence on civilians.
The MSU are a bunch of punk bitches. They invite repeatedly invite Malik Ali to come on the campus and promote a Hamas type ideology but won’t publicly state they would like Israel to be wiped off the map. Though there is a youtube video of them saying just that after at the flagpoles after they left the Daniel Pipes lecture.
If the MSU had balls, they would state their end game for the resolution of the conflict. They should stop beating around the bush.
Referring to the MSU as a bunch of punk bitches strikes me as about on the same moral level as calling Sarah Palin a twat. They're all mindless twits.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, EVERY politician in America runs for office by
a) honestly saying what they believe, that they believe will appeal to voters,
b) keeping quiet about what they honestly believe, that they think will offend voter,
c) side-stepping questions that might lead from (a) to (b) with glowing rhetoric unrelated to the question, that they believe will appeal to voters in a fuzzy sort of way.
The MSA and CAIR are not unique in this methodology. Ask any of the Wisconsin voters who make up the difference between Scott Walker's 52% election total and his 57% negative popularity rating. You can see signs at every demonstration in Madison reading "I voted for Walker and I'm sorry" or "I voted Walker and he spit on me."
