CAIR calls for Obama, McCain, to denounce Islamaphobia

In preapring to watch tonight’s debate, I came across this post at Weasel Zippers

A prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group is calling on Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama to repudiate anti-Muslim and anti-Arab bias during tonight’s final presidential debate.

 

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) says American Muslims and Arab-Americans are increasingly concerned about the rising level of religious and ethnic bias in political campaigns and in American society.

 

As examples of this bias, CAIR cited a recent controversy over Sen. McCain’s declaration that his opponent is a “decent guy” after a campaign rally participant called Sen. Obama an “Arab.” The Washington-based group also noted the false claim that the Illinois senator is a Muslim and an incident in which Muslim women wearing Islamic headscarves were barred from an Obama rally photo opportunity in Michigan.

 

Oddly enough, I also found a loooong, looong list of Islamic terror attacks that have happened in the last month here, tell you what CAIR, why doesn’t your group denounce all of these attacks with the same vigor you denounce “Islamaphobia?
