CAIR Oklahoma Exposed!

An Islamist would claim Oklahoma's SQ 755 was anti-Islam, wouldn't they?

Ignorant Oklahomans were told what to think on sharia law bill; sharia panel

Judge Miles-LaGrange extends TRO on SQ 755!

Attorney General of Oklahoma has a duty to question CAIR's motives in SQ 755!

CAIR official: Oklahoma anti-sharia amendment is anti-Muslim bigotry!

In an interview with Fox News yesterday, Razi Hashmi, the director of CAIR Oklahoma said efforts to ban Sharia law from ever being considered in Oklahoma courts was “really all about anti-Muslim bigotry.”  However, Hashmi generally responds to troubling documentation about CAIR as the fault, hate or bigotry of others.  So, this issue appears no different. 

Razi Hashmi promotes "A Christian stealth jihad in America?"

Razi Hashmi, the local head CAIR;s chapter in Oklahoma (started by the Islamic Supremacist Muslim Brotherhood (sic)), posted an article by loonwatch, a so-called anti-Islamophobic website that Islamists reference when it suits them to help ridicule those who are concerned about Islamism.

First, look at the title.  Jihad is not even a Christian term so its use here was laughable.

The screen shot above shows part of the article he copied and pasted claiming it's only right-wing nut jobs who wrongly imagine there are efforts to promote Islamic supremacy in the U.S.

On really?  Surely, I don't have to remind Hashmi that one of the founders of the organization he works for said, in print, that Islam should be the highest authority in America. Or that Hizb ut Tahrir America openly promotes sharia law and a return to the caliphate. Or, that there's another website which calls for Islamic rule here (screen shot below) whose list of accomplishments include one yet undetermined "Prepare for militant take over if necessary-- Unknown."

And what is worse, these are just a few examples how Islamic supremacists are working here.

So, all of this is just the delusional fantasies of right-wing nuts?

These lame attempts to ridicule others for something that is true only helps to strengthen activists against Islamism.

Razi Hashmi: CAIR critics are liars

On or about January 22, 2010,  Razi Hashmi the Director of the chapter of CAIR in Oklahoma was interviewed on OETA.  He was asked a question about the reputation of CAIR's national headquarters in Washington, D.C. Hashmi bragged how highly credible and reputable CAIR was (see video clip below). The newscaster did a poor job of follow-through since there are volumes of damaging documents about CAIR from which he could have continued the questioning.  CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror funding trial and named in U.S. vs. Benkahla as founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood who conspired with other affiliates of the Muslim Brotherhood to support terrorists.(page 58 at the bottom).  The FBI severed ties with them and several congresssional members have called for an investigation.  It has been reported CAIR National hasn't filed their taxes since 2006.  Furthermore, CAIR withdrew a lawsuit after they failed to provide information about their financial backers (CAIR vs. Andrew Whitehead).  A  lawsuit by CAIR Canada was also withdrawn.

Following a public protest organized by Oklahomans Against CAIR Hate on the 23rd of January at the University of Oklahoma Hashmi distance himself from CAIR and said we are the Oklahoma Chapter of CAIR.  In a News 6 interview he said the evidence is a bunch of lies that have been fueled by the Internet. And when he was asked by Dr. Bruce Prescott about specifics of the lies made against CAIR, Hashmi generalized that whole problem was caused by the extreme right wing. 

So, on four recent occasions, Razi Hashmi has skirted the truth about CAIR.

Razi Hashmi skirts truth blames extreme right wing fringe

Dr, Bruce Prescott heads Mainstream Baptists which is located in Norman, Oklahoma.  He has a weekly radio show on the Internet and last November he interviewed Razi Hashmi, the Director of the CAIR chapter in Oklahoma shortly after the Ft. Hood shooting.  Hashmi read a statement from CAIR National about the attack during the interview.

There is one two minute segment in the roughly 20-25 minute interview I found disturbing (see audio/video below). First,  Dr. Prescott said how important it is for us to do our own research to be sure we have accurate facts.  Unfortunately, I don't believe he practices what he preaches - which should become apparent.  Listen to Hashmi label CAIR critics as extreme right-wing fringe groups who fear monger with lies.  But Hashmi was asked for specifics about their lies.  Hashmi never answered the question.  Yet, Dr. Prescott bite into Hashmi's generalization hook, line and sinker. 

Anti-CAIR, headed by Andrew Whitehead,  is the group Prescott referred to prior to Hashmi's response.  He could have been speaking in general terms about CAIR critics, but I don't think so.

For those of you who don't know, CAIR sued Anti-CAIR in 2004 and then dismissed their suit with prejudice during crucial discovery requests by Whitehead's counsel that sought details on CAIR’s finances, its relationship to Hamas, and its ties to Saudi Arabia and other Islamic radicals.

Today, it 's like the suit was never filed!  CAIR can't file a lawsuit against Anti-CAIR again over the issues they claimed libeled them.  Andrew Whitehead reports the "terms of the settlement are confidential. However, no apology was issued, no retraction or corrections made, and the statements that triggered CAIR’s suit remain on the ACAIR website."  One of the statements that brought the suit stated:  "Let there be no doubt that CAIR is a terrorist supporting front organization that is partially funded by terrorists, and that CAIR wishes nothing more than the implementation of Sharia law in America.”

If this is wholly inaccurate why did CAIR dismiss the lawsuit? There are more legal details here which I encourage others to read, especially  Dr. Prescott.   CAIR National buckled when it came to releasing their financial backers, it appears.  And, now it has come to light they haven't filed their taxes since 2006!  I also sent Dr. Prescott a personal note about my concerns.

I encourage Dr. Prescott, Rashi Hashmi or anyone else to let me know if I ever write anything that is not factually accurate so I can correct it.  I can make mistakes for I am only human but be sure to include a proof source to back up your claim.

In this interview segment Hashmi also said people shouldn't necessarily assimilate in America!
