Yesterday, a group founded by the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas threatened anyone interested in public service. The Council on American Islamic Relations called for blacklisting candidates for office, would-be appointed officials and prospective government employees if they ever exhibited “Islamophobic” sentiments.

As part of CAIR’s latest effort to restrict constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech, the organization asserted that “Association with anti-Muslim movements or rhetoric discredits those who put themselves forward seeking to earn the privilege of public service, as would active or prior membership in the Nazi Party or the KKK today.”

After the latest jihadist attack in Orlando, it should be clear that – far from being disqualified – those who actually say something when they see something involving Islamic supremacism of the kind promoted by CAIR are precisely the sorts of people who should be in government.
