The “Council on American and Islamic Relations,” or CAIR, peddled a story about a poor guy who had converted to Islam and was being persecuted by the evil American government because of Islamophobia!! Darn you racism and bigotry!! Oh wait wait… yeahp, PJ Media has discovered that the very same dude has been arrested in Turkey for being a part of an ISIS sleeper cell!!
Just a coincidence.
Here’s his story from the idiot Chris Hayes at MSNBC who totally swallows it hook, line and sinker, after all Islamophobia is rampant in America for no reason whatsoever! Jerks! All of us!!
That video is actually from CAIR’s own YouTube channel!!! I wonder how long it’ll stay up after the news gets out that their poster boy for Islamophobia has been arrested for terrorism.
Here’s a news report about the poor guy:
A man, who just two years ago was the poster boy for the far-Left media’s attacks against the U.S. government’s no-fly list for “unfairly” targeting Muslims, finds himself and several family members sitting in a Turkish prison — arrested earlier this month near the Turkey-Syria border as members of an ISIS cell.
…
His story got considerable media attention when his CAIR media representatives here pushed the story that Long wanted to return to his native Oklahoma from his current home in Qatar to visit his ailing mother but couldn’t because he was on the TSA’s no-fly list. They said his case represented institutional “Islamophobia.”
…
Long’s cause got international attention when Glenn Greenwald published an article at The Guardian saying that Long was “effectively exiled from his own country.” Kevin Drum of Mother Jones branded it the “Kafkaesque World of the No-Fly List.” CAIR has 22 article entries related to Long’s case on its website.
Don’t wrack your brains too much liberals, I know how your idiotic ideology can get out of this one – just say that it was the Islamophobia that drove Saadiq Long into the loving, tolerant, liberal arms of ISIS! It was all our fault!!
The real question is this – where is the rest of the media on this story? They keep telling us that we have nothing to fear from moderate Muslims, and then refuse to report on these stories. You would think it MIGHT discredit CAIR a little bit, but only if Americans know about it…
