SACRAMENTO, CALIF.  – The nation’s largest pro-troop organization, Move America Forward, fired back at one of the country’s most visible Muslim organizations, CAIR, on Tuesday. Taking issue with the Council of American-Islamic Relations officials who appeared on cable news networks claiming that new airport security measures amounted to racial and religious profiling targeted Muslims.

Move America Forward responded, “If CAIR is upset about airport security, they aren’t the only ones. Americans are upset that so many travelers now have to go through extreme security measures because of an extremely small yet identifiable minority,” said Shawn Callahan, Executive Director of Move America Forward. “We still stress the need for law enforcement to follow up leads on anyone who we have behavioral information on, but let’s be honest; we know exactly who we are looking for. What needs to happen is for law enforcement to have the freedom and ability to scrutinize and follow up on anyone without fear of being labeled a ‘racist’ or ‘profiling’.

Yesterday CAIR told news agencies, "Under these new guidelines, almost every American Muslim who travels to see family or friends or goes on pilgrimage to Mecca will automatically be singled out for special security checks -- that's profiling," said Nihad Awad, the council's national executive director. "While singling out travelers based on religion and national origin may make some people feel safer, it only serves to alienate and stigmatize Muslims and does nothing to improve airline security."

“The Council just isn’t being honest about terrorism,” said Callahan. “Whether you call it profiling or whether you call it statistical probability, we know from the attempted Christmas day bombing and the Fort Hood shooting just last month that security is failing and we have to ask why. Part of the failure is due to hypersensitivity and political correctness.”

 “CAIR and some other groups such as the ACLU are one of the principal offenders; they are the ones keeping airport security from being honest, efficient, and common-sense.” said Callahan. “They are so quick file lawsuits, to cry racism or claim religious discrimination. What we need is a common sense security policy that targets the most likely threats and not innocent travelers who we know pose almost no risk.”

Sacramento, Calif. - Move America Forward, the nation's largest grassroots pro-troop organization, has learned that two of the four co-conspirators who helped Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab had actually been detained by the U.S. at Guantanamo Bay and released in 2007 to Saudi Arabia where they underwent a Saudi "rehabilitation" program designed to cure them of their radical ideology.

"We have warned about these supposed rehabilitation programs before, it is well documented that other former graduates of the Saudi program promptly returned to their terrorist ways after being released," said Danny Gonzalez, Director of Communications for the pro-troop group.

"With this latest news we now have further evidence that these programs do not work and as soon as the supposedly cured terrorists gain their freedom they go back to Al Qaeda and plot attacks or return to the battlefield. Our troops should not be having to deal with the same terrorist twice. These people were released in 2007 but we know that the Obama administration has been sending more detainees to Saudi Arabia to go through this program and plan to continue using it in future, so we are calling on Obama to immediately stop sending these terrorists back overseas where they arent properly monitored and start taking his job of keeping America safe seriously."

In 2008 a Group of Staff from Move America Forward visited Guantanamo Bay, for interviews with a spokesperson who has visited GITMO or further comments, please contact Danny Gonzalez at (714) 926 - 6189 or by emailing danny@moveamericaforward.org
