| NASA â Taking Culture Lessons from CAIR? |
| 2004-07-10 |
| Next Wednesday, July 7, 2004, the Islamic Study Group, sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will be presenting a âSensitivity and Diversity Workshopâ for NASA employees and managers. And just who will be providing this âtrainingâ? Americaâs âpremier Islamic Civil Rights Groupâ, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Yes, CAIR, the organization that has never met an Islamist terrorist they wouldnât defend, will now teach NASA about Islam in AmericaâŠagain! ACAIR took the opportunity of e-mailing NASA, warning them about CAIRâs past and asking them to reconsider inviting an Islamist terrorist supporting group. NASAâs response? Silence. We ask, again, what is it about Islam that is so sensitive and delicate that all non-Muslim Americans must be trained in how to react to them? Why is Islam, above all other religions in the United States today, being taught in American institutions? What about Christians? Have Christians ever been invited to NASA to speak about multiculturalism and diversity? How about the Jews? Any invites for them to discuss their culture? Why would NASA invite CAIR to speak to them when CAIR personnel are not allowed in the White House? What special insight does CAIR present about Islam that NASA canât get from some other Islamic group that isnât hell-bent on destroying America as we know it? What next, inviting the KKK to brief NASA about the problems of African Americans? Inviting NAZIâs to speak about a âsolution to the Jewish questionâ in the Middle East? NASA, be warned, no good can come from associating with CAIR. In doubt? Call the Secret Service and ask why CAIR is no longer on the White House guest list. |

| #5 Borgboy sez" "give'em their own planet, where they can bomb, burqua, and seethe to their hearts delight. I just don't want it to be earth. Perhaps Pluto is really Islam's "Third Holiest Site"... |

| #4 ...My dad retired out of NASA in '99, and by all accounts it was a nightmare of PC then - to the point where they literally spent all their time trying to figure out how to insure 'maximum inclusion' at the expense of, oh, I don't know, actual WORK. The Research Center leadership lives in absolute terror of someone accusing them of discrimination in any way shape or form, and NASA is paying for it. Like I said - SpaceShipOne was the stake in NASA's heart. If it still exists in 10 years as anything other than a small research organization, I'll be very surprised. Mike |

| #3 Yes, that explains basically ALL Federal Gov't problems...spending more time on "fluffy, feel good" stuff than on your actual mission. I work at a Federal Agency (name withheld to protect the innocent) and last month they spent more time kow-towing to the gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders and praising them than we did in national conferences. Agency even paid for our GLOBE (Gay, Lesbian or Bisexual Employees group for Federal Employees) representative to fly to the national conference in San Fran (we're in Atlanta) and hob-nob with other queers there. My question to our Administrator in Atlanta was 'what in the world does this have to do with our mission?' Also, a buddy of mine sent him a link to a worldnetdaily.com article about how the queers are all upset cause Bush failed to issue a proclomation in favor of "Pride Month" (June), and neither did our Administrator over the whole agency. Therefore, we questioned our Atlanta administrator on why he should issue a proclomation when neither the Prez or our top boss has? Have yet to hear back from him. Anyways, point is, your and my tax dollars are being spent on this travel, paying employees to be GLOBE "liasions" and putting up banners/sending out proclomations/etc. when even the Prez hasn't endorsed it! And, again, it has NOTHING to do with the work we do, just in the name of "diversity." Diversity & Multiculti. are going to kill this country if we don't do something about it. |
