CAIR-sponsored Muslim Day at the Capitol takes its place.
Monday April 24 was Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day and in Los Angeles thousands marched in the street outside the Turkish consulate. Up in Sacramento, ruling Democrats ignored the Armenians and instead held Muslim Day at the Capitol, hosted by the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
Trump reignites spirit of justice for Muslim Day at Capitol, headlined the news article in the Sacramento Bee, whose April 24 edition included not a word about the Armenians day. As CAIRs Yannina Casillas explained, The election of Trump and the campaign in general kind of reignited a spirit of justice within the community that was very much dormant. A lot of people are really interested in getting more involved.
CAIR supports several bills now pending in the state legislature, including Senate Bill 54, which bars state or local law enforcement from using their resources to help federal immigration enforcement. The measure would prohibit state and local law enforcement agencies, including school police and security departments, from using resources to investigate, interrogate, detain, detect, or arrest persons for immigration enforcement purposes. The bill also requires public schools, libraries, health facilities and courthouses to adopt similar policies.
CAIR is also the co-sponsor of Senate Bill 31, which would prohibit a state or local agency or a public employee acting under color of law from providing or disclosing to the federal government personal information regarding a persons religious beliefs, practices, or affiliation, as specified, when the information is sought for compiling a database of individuals based on religious belief practice or affiliation, national origin, or ethnicity for law enforcement or immigration purposes.
A press conference highlighted those measures and Assembly Bill 158, which requires law enforcement agencies to indicate whether an incident was bias related, supposedly an aide to more accurate reporting of hate crimes. As Yannina Casillas explained in the April 24 CAIR press release, Our nation needs us to build a better, bolder future. We have our work cut out for us, but we are ready to act against fear. This is the time to roll up our sleeves and be courageous.
California governor Jerry Brown, who has been pardoning criminal deportees, issued no official statement on the April 24 Muslim Day event. Neither did state Attorney General Xavier Becerra, a favorite of CAIR and a supporter of sanctuary policies.
Government disrespect for Armenians is highly unusual in a state that is home to the largest Armenian community outside of the Armenian nation. More than 200,000 people of Armenian descent live in Los Angeles County alone and Armenians thrive in Fresno, home of the late novelist and playwright William Saroyan.
George Deukmejian served as Californias attorney general from 1979 to 1983 and as governor from 1983 to 1991. Deukmejians parents came to the United States in the early 1900s to escape the Armenian genocide, which claimed the life of his aunt. Many Californians have similar stories.
When youre Armenian, history is a loaded subject, wrote Liz Ohanesian in the April 24 LA Weekly, Ours is one that was almost erased. As she wrote, we commemorate the Armenian Genocide, in which 1.5 million ethnic Armenians in the Ottoman Empire were killed by their own government. Those who survived spread out across the globe, including her own grandparents. Books on the genocide were so brutally violent, so filled with hate, that I couldnt forget them, and eerily similar to her familys ordeals.
For Armenians, Ohanesian wrote, a group of people conspired to try and ensure that people like you don't exist. Despite that, you are here. The survivors and their offspring have been tasked with keeping the Armenian story from ending. As the day of remembrance approached, nothing like that appeared in the Sacramento Bee and the Armenians got no help at all from the government of their state.
Muslims represent a religion, Islam, not a race, nationality or ethnic group. Even so, the Muslim Day event brought no objection from militant advocates of church-state separation such as the ACLU. A Baptist Day at the Capitol, sponsored by the Southern Baptist Convention, would doubtless provoke a lawsuit accompanied by demonstrations.
Californias government, meanwhile, has never celebrated an official Armenian Day at the Capitol. State Democrats are now willing to disrespect the Armenians while showing special favors to Muslims, the very religious group that attempted to exterminate the Armenians and is now the worlds leading persecutor of Christians and other religious groups. That is about as bad as it gets but in the Golden State things can always get worse.
A current candidate for Lieutenant Governor is Dr. Asif Mahmood, a proud Muslim, who proclaims, Ill be a triple threat to Donald Trump. Im running for office to fight against him, and to fight for our families.
Californias Lieutenant Governor performs ceremonial duties but when the need arises he becomes acting governor.

CAIR needs to be shut down, it officials arrested and tried for treason.
The corruption among our politicians is on full display in actions like this. The MSM will not delve into it because they are corrupted by the same money bags.
It’s my understanding that CAIR has been shown to be a front group for funneling money to known terrorist groups. Why isn’t this enough to prosecute them and shut them down?
First off, they need to be clear which representatives in their pocket are actually advancing these bills.
CAIR is a subversive Muslim Brotherhood organization and should be considered such. Likewise people in its pockets should be deemed untrustworthy.
Still, while they are unwisely tolerated we should not expect them to do anything besides advance the religion of pieces.
Enemy islamists all.
I will not forget.
(Did they kill their dogs?)
California bows in dhimmitude
IN addition to various state agencies, CAIR has infiltrated our government at the highest levels including our intelligence agencies.
Anyone seen the movie: The Promise?
It is the history of the Armenian Genocide by the Turkish Ottomans—It is a movie that was difficult to get made and released.

The Promise is a 2016 American historical drama film directed by Terry George and starring Oscar Isaac, Charlotte Le Bon and Christian Bale, set in the final years of the Ottoman Empire (Wikipedia)
I have not yet seen it but am looking forward to doing so this weekend.
This year April 24th was also Holocaust memorial day...it just happened to coincide this year because the Warsaw ghetto uprising began on the 27th of Nisan in the Jewish calendar and that happened to be April 24th this year.
The uprising started on April 19, 1943, which corresponded to 14 Nissan 5703, or the day before Passover, not 27 Nissan, a week after Passover.
Agreed.
So why was the observance on April 24 this year if it did not correspond to the beginning of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising by the Jewish calendar?
And how will all those Armenian-American Democrats react to this?
Danged if I know.
They’ll have their new Muslim constituency annihilate them.
I’ve seen the IMDB preview. Looks like must-see.

Very cautionary tale of what can happen when Muslims are majority in a country...Europe had better take notice~so had we!! Amazingly the New York Times wrote articles about it but did not use he term “genocide” until 2004. The genocide is illegal to be discussed in Turkey.
Two other very interesting related articles:
Interesting that the President (or should I say Sultan) of Turkey is coming to meet with President Trump in end of May.
