Hussam Ayloush, the hot-tempered director of CAIR in Southern California, has re-tweeted an op-ed by Middle East Eye (whoever they are) questioning all the sympathy being extended to "blond-haired, blue-eyed" Ukrainians as opposed to Middle Eastern refugees. Ayloush's Twitter link is below and has a link to the article.

Fousesquawk comment: As I have pointed out many times, this is the same Hussam Ayloush who, back in January 2015, asked why everybody was so focused on Islamic extremism and "a dozen or so" young Muslim men who had gone off to Syria and Iraq to join ISIS and no focusing on the thousands of young Jewish men who were joining the Israeli Defense Forces "killing the people of Gaza". (All his words, not mine). Leave it to Ayloush and his gang over at CAIR to take a racially-tinged shot at Ukraine based on a few anecdotal statements from others.
But I would point out to Ayloush that there are many differences between Ukrainians and Ukrainian refugees compared to those arriving from places like Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, and other Islamic hellholes, either at war or just plain dysfunctional, which have nothing to do with race...........
On second thought, I addressed this question just a few days ago, so I'll just link it here.
"As for the refugee issue. Some estimates say that as many as five million refugees will be fleeing the country. It appears they will be overwhelmingly women, children, and the elderly. Men of military or fighting age are not being allowed to leave. Should Europe, already flooded with refugees, fake refugees, and illegal migrants from the Middle East and Africa, mostly Muslim nations, accept the Ukrainians? Sweden says they are full of the above groups, and other nations should take in Ukrainians. Western Europe has accepted millions of people who are not assimilating, not contributing to the economy of the countries they end up in, and are causing enormous problems in terms of social welfare costs, increased crime, rapes, murders, gangs, violence, acts of terror, and anti-Semitic attacks upon Jews.
The Ukrainians pose none of those risks. According to an article I posted yesterday, a Polish member of the European Parliament claimed that in recent years, Poland has taken in some 2 million Ukrainians, and there has been no uptick in crime. In addition, the Ukrainian refugees have not been a burden on the social welfare system, preferring to find jobs, work, and pay taxes. They pose no threat of terrorism.
So if I question why Western Europe would accept all these people from mostly Muslim nations in the Middle East and Northern Africa and not want to accept Ukrainian refugees, you might say to me, "Is it not also hypocritical to not want the Muslim refugees/migrants but welcome the (European, white) Ukrainians?" Fair question, but to that, I say go back and read the previous two paragraphs once more. This discussion will, no doubt, lead to many accusations of racism and Islamophobia. I've already gotten that from one or more of my (anonymous) readers. No matter. Pointing out the inconvenient truths in no way suggests that it applies to all Muslim immigrants, but the charges of racism from the left will persist anyway. It is designed to silence those who disagree with political correctness and wokeness. The skin color of the refugees doesn't matter. What matters is what they bring to their adopted countries in terms of belief systems, skills, and character, to say nothing of their ability to assimilate and contribute."
So to sum it all up, it's not about the color of one's hair, eyes, or skin, rather about one's belief system.
