If You Appease The Crocodile Long Enough

It seems that CAIR is claiming credit for forcing a Christian televangelist off the CBS network in Florida.

Via St. Petersburg Times: ST. PETERSBURG - For the first time in nearly five years, controversial Christian televangelist Bill Keller is going off the air.

Keller - known for his vitriolic criticism of religious, political and pop culture figures - said Thursday his program was yanked in response to pressure from local Muslims.

Earlier this month, officials from the Council on American Islamic Relations wrote to executives at CBS asking them to investigate Live Prayer with Bill Keller, an hourlong nightly program.

In a May 2 broadcast, the televangelist said Islam was a "1,400-year-old lie from the pits of hell" and called the Prophet Mohammed a "murdering pedophile." He also called the Koran a "book of fables and a book of lies."

Hmm, it seems to me that is Mr. Keller's religious opinion. Just as many Muslims believe that contemporary Christianity is a bastardization of Christ's teachings. But Mr. Keller goes even further.

“I do not hold any ill will toward Muslims. I want them to know the truth and find true salvation. And the truth is that Islam is a false religion that follows a false god that will lead them to eternal condemnation. Since the very beginning of the Islamic faith some six hundred years after the death of Jesus Christ, Muslims have had a rich history of attacking anyone who disagrees with them. And this is just another one such historically redundant attack. This religious terrorism is conducted by an organization found to have deep rooted ties to terrorist groups, the Council on American Islamic Relations, or CAIR, to infringe on my First Amendment right of religious expression, and CBS Viacom is an accomplice.

CAIR, who is currently listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in a Dallas trial involving a terrorist fund raising operation, is viewed by much of the mainstream media as a Muslim version of the American Civil Liberties Union instead of the face of the radical Islamic movement that it has been proven to be since its inception here in the United States. CAIR believes that free speech ends when someone tells the truth about Islam....

...CAIR claims credit

After speaking with CBS executives, CAIR claims credit for Keller's demise on WTOG. His contract, set to end in December, will terminate on Sept. 11.

"They really based their decision upon our letter," said Ramzy Kilic, CAIR's civil rights coordinator. "They really did not know that Bill Keller was involved with this kind of anti-Muslim rhetoric."

Acting on complaints from bay area Muslims, CAIR officials began monitoring Keller's programs in May.

Mr. Keller has balls, he is openly preaching the gospel to Muslims. A crime punishable by death by Sharia law practiced in many Muslim countries. Just where the heck does Keller think he is? Some nation with guaranteed freedom of religion or something? Oh wait minute, he is.

Keller also points out that Cair is an unindicted co-conspirator in a terror trial. Cair really hates that. Just ask Dr. Adams, when you talk about CAIR supporting terror, or the fact that the the executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) , Nihad Awad, calls Hamas Saham so he can skirt US laws restricting support to terror organizations or express your displeasure CAIR in any way, they will try to shut you up, or have you locked up.

If you would like to express your displeasure with CAIR or with the attorneys helping to Dhimmify America, feel free to do so. Just be somewhat more than bothersome and somewhat less than annoying.

If you appease the crocodile long enough, it will eat you. But throwing yourself into its jaws a not a very good idea either. No you must outsmart the croc, when the moment is right, you remove the man-eater from your midst.

Hat Tip: Macs Mind. Sandcrawler PSA: Helpful hints for email complaints/campaigns.

Send one well written complaint and forget about it. It is the number of complaints that is powerful not your writing skillz.

Do not send multiple emails or make multiple calls.

You don't have to be nice, but not crazy might help. Things you might say in blog comments probably are not very helpful.

Be creative, use art to make your political statements. Even if it is mildly offensive, if it has some creative political satire, it is protected speech.

The law that CAIR is threatening DR. Adams with has never been tested in court. It is a new law and I feel it cannot stand strong constitutional scrutiny. But they can still give you quite a hard time. Be smart.
