ISLAMIC "CAIR" CALLS ON AMAZON, GOOGLE TO REMOVE ALL "WHITE SUPREMACIST, PRO-CONFEDERATE" MATERIALS

“The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), is calling on Amazon, Google and Barnes and Noble, including the companies of Audible and Kindle, to remove ‘all white supremacist and pro-confederate digital audio books and related social media ads.'”
One wonders who will be arbiter in determining where the line is drawn in determining what is “white supremacist” material. Already CAIR has positioned itself as judge, and few in the establishment media pay attention to its links to Hamas. Few note that its definition of what is “white supremacist” is extremely broad.
The logic of CAIR’s demand is outrageous. A first priority should be that Islamic supremacist preaching and literature be removed from all mosques, Islamic centers, and madrassas; after that, every Islamic group associated with Hamas and other jihad terror organizations should be banned, including CAIR.
In reaction to CAIR:
Regnery Publishing President Marji Ross accused CAIR of an “insidious and dishonest smear campaign”….
“Regnery strenuously objects to the insidious and dishonest smear campaign being waged by CAIR against our author, our book, and millions of Americans,” she said in a statement. “Conflating ‘white supremacy’ with ‘confederate’ is a loathsome and despicable tactic, used to discredit and slander anyone who dares to voice support for the South or the ideals of liberty and self-determination embraced by so many patriots during the Civil War and ever since.”
Those who support the freedom of speech — including leaders from both the public and private sectors — need to organize better in opposing CAIR and other groups connected to jihad terror. Otherwise such groups will continue to grow more emboldened and increase their influence. The issue of Islamic supremacism is a serious one that threatens the freedom of Western nations. That CAIR could so brazenly suggest that major retailers “pull white supremacist and pro-confederate materials from their websites,” especially given the dirt in its own backyard, is a demonstration of just how far the West has descended to in enabling such groups.
As for the Southern Poverty Law Center, which routinely backs CAIR and vice versa (since like supports like):
CAIR said The Southern Poverty Law Center indicates that the book “was a key inspiration for Timothy McVeigh’s 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.”
McVeigh only has himself to blame. He was following no group and could point to no doctrine that backed his behavior. Jihadists can and do. The disgraced SPLC also has no credibility, any more than CAIR does. It has a “systemic culture of racism and sexism” within its own ranks, and long ago lost its way.
“Group calls on Amazon, Google to remove ‘white supremacist, pro-Confederate’ materials,” Fox 17, December 11, 2019:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — A group is calling on major retailers to pull white supremacist and pro-confederate materials from their websites.The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), is calling on Amazon, Google and Barnes and Noble, including the companies of Audible and Kindle, to remove “all white supremacist and pro-confederate digital audio books and related social media ads.”CAIR said it found the companies selling books like “The South was Right,” “The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War” and “The Turner Diaries,” a neo-Nazi “recruitment novel.” CAIR said these novels promote white supremacy.“It is inexcusable for internet retailers like Amazon, Google, Audio Books, and Barnes and Noble to profit from the mainstreaming of White supremacist historical revisionism that celebrates the treason of the Confederacy and excuses the abomination of slavery,” said CAIR Director of Government Affairs Robert S. McCaw. “Amazon, Google, Audio Books, and Barnes and Noble should immediately remove all white supremacist and pro-Confederacy digital audio books and related social media ads.”….
“Regnery Publishing accuses CAIR of ‘smear campaign’ for effort to ban book on Confederacy,” by Valerie Richardson, Washington Times, December 11, 2019:
“The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War” may not appear on everyone’s Christmas list, but an effort by the Council for American-Islamic Relations to ban the book has met with resistance from the publisher and author.Regnery Publishing President Marji Ross accused CAIR of an “insidious and dishonest smear campaign” after the liberal advocacy group called on Amazon, Google, and Barnes & Noble to stop carrying certain “pro-Confederate and white supremacist” titles.“Regnery strenuously objects to the insidious and dishonest smear campaign being waged by CAIR against our author, our book, and millions of Americans,” she said in a statement. “Conflating ‘white supremacy’ with ‘confederate’ is a loathsome and despicable tactic, used to discredit and slander anyone who dares to voice support for the South or the ideals of liberty and self-determination embraced by so many patriots during the Civil War and ever since.”In its campaign launched Monday, CAIR also singled out the 2011 non-fiction book “The South Was Right!” as well as “The Turner Diaries,” the notoriously racist and anti-Semitic 1978 novel about the violent overthrow of the U.S. government credited with inspiring the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.Robert McCaw, CAIR director of government affairs, called it “inexcusable for internet retailers like Amazon, Google, Audio Books, and Barnes and Noble to profit from the mainstreaming of white supremacist historical revisionism that celebrates the treason of the Confederacy and excuses the abomination of slavery.”The retailers “should immediately remove all white supremacist and pro-Confederacy digital audio books and related social media ads,” he said in a press release….Certainly there is no love lost between Regnery and CAIR. In her statement, Ms. Ross called it “ironic” that CAIR would mount such an effort.“It is particularly ironic that CAIR is behind this campaign, given the absurd hypocrisy of an organization which is dedicated to promoting misogyny, anti-Semitism, and Islamo-supremacy feigning concern for human rights, inclusiveness, justice or civil liberties,” she said. “We encourage anyone who seeks to know the truth to check Sharia law on questions of rights for women, Jews, gays, or any other non-Muslim minority and get back to us on who really believes in liberty and justice for all.”Mr. McCaw responded with a blast at Regnery: “The publisher’s bigoted and hysterical response to our criticism of white supremacy and the Confederacy shows exactly why no mainstream corporation should sell its hateful and ahistorical books. Just as Amazon, Google and Barnes & Noble do not sell propaganda that celebrates Nazism, they should not sell books that celebrate and whitewash the racist traitors of the Confederacy.”Among the books in the popular Regnery series is “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)” by Robert Spencer, founder of the Jihad Watch blog.“It is a troubling sign of the times to witness the cognitive dissonance of a publisher like Regnery who defends the Confederacy’s traitorous effort to destroy our nation and to enshrine slavery as a national institution,” Mr. McCaw said. “But that should not be surprising since Regnery publishes Islamophobic authors like Robert Spencer and smears the Islamic faith of millions of Americans.”…
