Because the Council for American-Islamic Relations stands up for Muslims, WorldNetDaily despises them. So much so, in fact, that it’s begging for money to try and destroy CAIR by building it into a bogeyman only it can attack. Managing editor David Kupelian writes in a Sept. 18 email to readers complaining that CAIR didn’t mark the 9/11 attacks on Sept. 11:
It’s like the 9/11 terrorist attacks by Islamic jihadists on our nation that killed almost 3,000 innocent people never happened. It was a “non-event.”
This is why we have reported the fact that CAIR stands for Islamic supremacy … has raised large amounts of money to finance Islamic terrorist groups like Hamas … and rather than assimilate into our Judeo-Christian American culture, CAIR believes that Islam reigns and that Sharia Law should replace the U.S. Constitution.
That’s what CAIR is and we want America to know it.
As the longest-serving, most trusted conservative Christian news website in America, WND will look back on this moment in history with shame if we fail to do more – much more – to expose CAIR and neutralize its influence on America.
If you agree with me, please take a moment – right now – to do one thing before you move on to your next email and possibly forget to return to this message by helping WND with a donation of $25, $50, $100 or whatever you can afford today.
CAIR survives by flying under the radar.
Unless they are wailing about someone saying something that “offends Islam” – which is just about anything – they stay off the front pages and toil in the background to undermine our nation by advancing Sharia supremacy in America.
WND vows to pull back the curtain on CAIR so decent law-abiding citizens can see CAIR and other groups like it for what they really are.
First: WND may be desperate for money, but it betrays what few jouranlistic principles it can still plausibly claim to have by pledging to use that money specifically to attack an organization it doesn’t like.
Second: WND doesn’t mention that it loves to attack anyone who says something that “offends Christianity,” which is just about anything. Indeed, Kupelian has smeared WND’s critics as “anti-Christian.”
Third: WND is “most trusted conservative Christian news website in America,” which publishes “pro-American, truth-based journalism”? When did that happen? Well, it didn’t — that’s an attempt a rebranding that WND first pushed in 2016, though Kupelian appears to have abandoned Joseph Farah’s insistence that WND never admit its unmistakable bias by calling it “conservative” (though WND is actually several degrees to the right of mainstream conservatism). As far as WND being “trusted” and “truth-based”? Not so much.
Kupelian seems to think that admitting he and WND are blatantly partisan is the way to dig it out of its financial morass. But he seems to have forgotten that Farah was one of Trump’s biggest fanboys as WND’s ship continued to sink.
