CAIR jumps into the Danish cartoon fray

Oh boy, here comes CAIR, the Council on American Islamic Relations. They want a piece of the action regarding those Danish newspaper cartoons parodying the the Prophet Muhammad.

From their press release:

In his letter to the Danish ambassador, Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Executive Director Nihad Awad offered his group's assistance "as a bridge between the Muslim community worldwide and the government of Denmark." He proposed a meeting "to discuss areas of mutual cooperation in helping to remedy the situation."

I'm sure that remedy would be an unconditional apology from the Danish government for those cartoons. And since most people in Denmark speak English, the CAIR solution might also include sending some CAIR corporate trainer types to Copenhagen to educate top Danes about Islam.

More from the press release:

He said proactive educational measures are the best response to such incidents. Following allegations that military personnel at Camp X-Ray in Guantanamo Bay desecrated the Quran, CAIR launched its "Explore the Quran" project offering free copies of Islam's revealed text to Americans of all faiths.

That Gitmo Quran flushing story turned out to be a hoax.
