Activists with the Council on American Islamic Relations want Oklahomans to cheer for them as they walk alongside U.S. veterans.

The group aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood has announced it will have a float in the Tulsa Veterans Day parade November 11.

“It’s something we have been wanting to do for years,” Adam Soltani, executive director of the Oklahoma Chapter of CAIR tells the Tulsa World.

“We support all veterans, and we support our country, so I don’t see why anyone should have any concerns about CAIR being involved,” he says.

But that may necessarily not be true.

Pamela Geller noted earlier this year, San Francisco Bay Area CAIR Executive Director Zahra Billoo “struggles with Memorial Day each year. How does one balance being pretty staunchly anti-war while honoring those who died in the military?”

Billoo also tweeted a quote by CAIR head Dawud Walid, saying, “If one dies in an unjust war in which we illegally invaded and occupied a sovereign nation, should that person be honored?”

No word on whether than quote will be featured on CAIR’s Tulsa parade float.

Geller, incidentally, labels CAIR a “terrorist organization.”

The controversy isn’t lost on America-loving activists participating in the parade.

Larry Williamson, a member of the Tulsa 912 Project, says it is “atrocious” to ask veterans to “march alongside people who represent our enemies in a current war,” according to the World.

“I believe all American entrants who the parade is intended to honor should be made aware as soon as possible that they are being asked to share their honor with the Muslim Brotherhood, sworn enemy of the United States and our ally Israel and an enemy in our current war on the Islamic jihad in which American soldiers are fighting and dying,” Williamson says.

“I’m not a spokesman for Tulsa 912, but I won’t march alongside the Muslim Brotherhood.”

Patsy Varnell, vice president of the Tulsa Veterans Day Parade Association, confirmed CAIR will be participating.

“The parade is nonreligious,” she tells the paper.

Meanwhile, Ronda Vuillemont-Smith, president and founder of the Tulsa 912 Project, says they don’t want CAIR booted from the parade, but rather have the organizers be upfront about the group’s participation.

“My concern is that the parade committee was trying to keep this information out of the public eye,” she says.
