Last comes the beverage of the Orient shore, Mocha, far off, the fragrant berries bore. Taste the dark fluid with a dainty lip, Digestion waits on pleasure as you sip. ~ Pope Leo XII

Captain’s Quarters (Ed Morrissey) The Democrats And CAIR

CAIR will hold an event in a tony venue tomorrow in the DC area, a panel discussion on the effect of global attitudes towards Islam on American policy. The venue? A conference room in the Capitol building, courtesy of New Jersey Democrat Bill Pascrell. The organization got access to the room despite the history of CAIR leadership in support of terrorism:

If you are in Representitive Pascrell’s district (NJ-8) you can find his contact information here.

Here is the note that I sent to my representitives:

I am writing to voice my opposition to allowing CAIR to hold their “Global Attitudes on Islam-West Relations: U.S. Policy Implications” panel discussion in the Capitol basement conference room. (Reported in the Washington Times: http://washingtontimes.com/national/20070311-113356-1660r.htm) CAIR’s ties to terrorist organizations, along with their refusal to disavow terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah, makes allowing the use of Capitol facilities quite outrageous.

I realize that this note will not reach you in time for any action to be taken on the event. However, I do want to state my strong opposition to this situation and my sincere hope that nothing like it can occur in the future.

Thank you for your time.
