CAIR

Being called names by CAIR is as a badge of honor in my opinion.

DETROIT — “Oh, by the way on MUSLIM HERITAGE IN America… Have you ever been to a Muslim hospital?” sarcastically wondered Michigan politician and National Republican Committee member Dave Agema in a Facebook post.

Agema’s comments drew condemnations from various groups and individuals and revealed the extent of the anti-Muslim sentiments in parts of a state that is home to the largest Muslim community in America.

Dawud Walid, the executive director of the Council on American Islamic Relations in Michigan (CAIR-MI), said Agema “has a track record of being anti-Muslim.”

Agema shared his comments on his Facebook page in a post praising the Catholic church and its humanitarian efforts that include building hospitals and schools.

However, Walid said the comparison between the Muslim and Catholic communities is illogical as the Catholic church is a much larger and older religious institution than Islam in the United States.
