Council on American-Islamic Relations: Tear Down Every Confederate Memorial​

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), America’s largest Muslim civil rights group, is calling on state and local governments all over the United States to tear down all monuments and memorials commemorating Confederate leaders and the short-lived Confederate States of America.

CAIR joined several groups asking for the removal of Confederate memorials in the wake of a “Unite the Right” white nationalist rally that turned violent over the weekend. At the Charlottesville, Va. rally, James Alex Fields, a rally attendee, allegedly plowed his grey Dodge Challenger through a large group of counter-demonstrators on a pedestrian mall. One woman, Heather Heyer, died in the incident. About 20 other people suffered injuries.

Nihad Awad, CAIR’s national executive director, urged state and local governments to erase every symbol and every vestige of Confederate history immediately.

“A fitting response to the deadly terror attack on anti-Fascist protesters in Charlottesville would be for officials in states and cities nationwide to immediately announce that every street, every school, every flag, and every public memorial honoring those who took up arms in defense of white supremacy and slavery will be removed or have its name changed to instead honor those who fought for civil rights,” Awad said in a statement to The Daily Caller.

“Removal of these memorials would be a small step forward in turning the page on the darkest period in our nation’s history,” Awad also said.


CAIR has created a template for state governments, municipal governments and school district officials to use for introducing resolutions seeking the removal of Confederate memorials and other symbolism.

On Saturday, CAIR denounced President Donald Trump for his remarks about the white supremacist rally. Trump exhibited a “failure of moral leadership,” the Muslim advocacy group said.

A number of local governments have removed or contemplated removing Confederate monuments in recent years. Demands for removal of the statues has grown considerably louder and more forceful in response to the events which unfolded in Charlottesville on Saturday.

Leaders in Lexington, Ky., Gainesville, Fl. and Baltimore, Md. have announced plans to remove statues since Saturday.

On Monday evening, a group of protestors toppled a monument to Confederate soldiers in Durham, North Carolina. (VIDEO: Protestors Topple Confederate Statue In North Carolina)

In May, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed legislation protecting Confederate memorials from removal or modification as long as they have been in place for longer than 40 years. (RELATED: Alabama Governor Signs Bill Protecting Confederate Memorials)

In 2009, CAIR was listed by the U.S. government as an unindicted co-conspirator in a scheme that provided funding to the terror group Hamas.

America's future is brown and as much as racist White people want to deny that reality it isn't going to change.

Islam is the fastest growing religion in America

America has the blood of innocents on its hands and must atone for slavery, genocide, Nazism, white supremacy, and invading Muslim countries.

Agreed with you that the Confederate statues are racist.

And the Confederate statues should be torn down.

Great news! Muslims should be more proactive against persecution of minorities by White supremacists and neo-Nazis. This will give us a good image.

 

[Jaanbaz]

Don't care internal American matters however I will bring this up when Americans go around giving us lectures about human rights.

Yes, only America has blood of innocents on its hands. The only country that allowed slavery, genocide, white supremacy (or any racial supremacy, for that matter), and invading Muslim countries.

Just remember how Islam was spread.

By this rationale, no one should be lecturing others about human rights. The truth is we are all hypocrites about human rights.

We should also encourage minorities to tear down every symbol of these European colonizers.

When Islam spread it was through peace treaties.

You know nothing about the history of Islam.

 

[ranjeet]

Great....In India we must begin with removing and exhuming every little grave of Muslim invaders and their descendents. Reclaim every inch from those centuries old graveyards.

Lol of course, the usual propaganda about Islam by you people.

You fear what you don't know. But you should learn about Islam first before spreading lies.

America has a proven record of mass murderer. America is modern day Nazi Germany. America and Europe owe the rest of the world reparations for colonialism, genocide, and theft is our resources.

Lol, why are you butt hurt for? Are you even White?

And anyhow you Indians already persecute Muslims as it is. But we are growing in India too.
