CAIR -- someone finally figured it out
6Days had an interesting article earlier today (technically yesterday) about CAIR commissioning Hill & Knowlton to defend Islam's image. The article goes on about how CAIR are learning their lessons from AIPAC.
DMO is pleased to see that someone finally figured that whining about how the image of Muslims in Western and American media is not going to do anyone any good. It is in fact in the hands of Muslims themselves. The budget: $50m. Not bad for such a major campaign that would result in better business opportunities.
Unfortunately though, Etisalat seems to think that we should not be able to see what the Anti-CAIR have to say.
Hill & Knowlton have a huge task in their hands. Persuading Americans that Muslims are not dangerous, but are a part of the American culture is not going to be easy. They also have several organizations who are more than happy to see the anti-Muslim (or as CAIR likes to call it, Islamophobia) thrive among the American population.
What I don't understand is why CAIR thinks Dubai should foot the bill. I also don't think the DP World connection is a fair one. The DPW fiasco could have still happened, even if it were pre-9/11.
DMO applauds CAIR for their initiative. However, don't insult our intelligence by making it look like it's Dubai's problem. Any country with business interests in the US that calls itself Muslim should contribute to the funding of the campaign.
