Ok someone tell me what exactly does the AP think it is doing by mentioning that Muslims are praying for rain? Does the AP just not give a shit about the fact that CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) has been a den of terrorist supporters? Maybe they think that Barbara Boxer is a Neo Con Stooge?
Last month, U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer rescinded an award her office gave to the head of CAIR’s Sacramento office, saying her staff had turned up a “laundry list” of problems with the Islamic advocacy group. “We made a bad mistake not researching the organization,” Boxer told the Sacramento Bee. Among Boxer’s concerns were the convictions of two former CAIR members — Ghassan Elashi and Ismail Royer — for engaging in financial transactions with the leader of Hamas and supporting overseas terrorist operations.
So then explain why AP thought it was a good idea to include this bit of nonsense in an article about the fires raging in Florida?
Jim Harrell, a spokesman for the Florida Division of Forestry , said the situation hadn’t changed throughout the day Thursday. But another official says there is concern about winds picking up and fanning the flames. As of Friday, the number of active fires has dropped from 236 to 223, with about 140 square miles —- over 87,000 acres — burnt. Seven homes in the state were destroyed. Other large fires are burning in Bradford and Collier County.
Meanwhile, the Council on American-Islamic Relations says Florida Muslims are offering special prayers for rains at mosques on their religion’s day of rest.
In northern Minnesota, high wind fanned a fire around the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, prompting more evacuations. Bill Paxton, a spokesman for the firefighting effort, said the fire was “challenging” the containment lines. “They’re holding right now,” he said. “We’re having some difficulty holding them, but they’re holding now.” The fire had burned more than 45 square miles and destroyed about 45 structures since it started Saturday. The shifting winds Thursday put another 100 buildings at risk, fire officials said.
What is the point?
