They want us to forget

The main objective of CAIR and other Islamist groups is to divert attention from Islamic fundamentalism by portraying Muslims as peace loving people who are victims of Zionism, racism and imperialism. These groups want us to forget that the spread of Islam has been associated with massive genocide, particularly in Africa and South Asia. They want us to forget that women can be stoned to death for being raped in Muslim nations. They want us to forget that minorities in Muslim countries are regularly subjected to violence and hatred. They want us to forget that they desire to introduce Shariah into the West.

And they want us to forget that radical Islam poses a great threat to the safety and welfare of Americans and all peace-loving peoples.
