CAIR was founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood’s“Palestine Committee” and is listed by the government as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the Holy Land Foundation trial.

As most of us know, Hamas violently overthrew the Fatah government in Gaza in 2007 and was formed by the Palestinian wing of Muslim Brotherhood at the beginning of the First Intifada.  Its express goal is to destroy Israel  (Hamas Covenant Yale Law School).for Islam which makes their fight a religious one to gain superiority over the area that once was under the control of Islamic supremacist rulers  

Last year, Hashmi organized and sponsored another anti-Israel rally where anti-Israel signs shouted Israel is the real terrorists!  In two NewsOK articles, the allegiance of most of those who attended seemed to have been to the "Hamas rulers."   On January 5,  2009, the day of the rally reporter, Michael McNutt wrote, Oklahoma protesters call for end to fighting in Gaza:

More than 200 people, most of them Islamic- Americans, demonstrated peacefully today outside the state Capitol asking state and national leaders to press Israel for a cease-fire against the Gaza Strip's Hamas rulers...

The next day,  McNutt wrote another article titled Group protests Gaza unrest at Oklahoma state Capitol.  This time, he wrote what Razi Hashmi said:

America should take immediate steps to end Israel’s "illegal and immoral” offensive against the Gaza Strip’s Hamas rulers, the executive director of the Oklahoma City chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations said Monday.

During a radio interview last November Hashmi told Dr. Bruce Prescott he lived in Pakistan for a while and attended the American University there.  But, he does not tell you this on his bio page on CAIR Oklahoma's website,  Odd.

Hey, did I mention Hamas has refused to allow aid on the flotilla to even enter Gaza?

FBI clarifies concerns regarding CAIR

Mark Schlachtenhaufen of the Edmond Sun wrote an excellent article titled What’s the truth about CAIR? on March 6th.

The Sun even called the FBI in Washington and got their response to this highly controversial Islamic organization:

“CAIR has been advised of the reasons behind our suspension of formal partnership,” the FBI stated. “These reasons include the fact that CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in United States v. Holy Land Foundation and CAIR’s failure to answer our questions about a connection between their executives and Hamas. Until these questions are answered, the FBI does not consider CAIR an appropriate partner for formal liaison activities.”

CAIR's National Communications Director, Ibrahim Hooper, responded to the Sun by saying: “It is particularly galling when we hear these kinds of smears because we know what we do on a daily basis. He said he hoped American leaders would stand by CAIR when these smears happen.  Hooper is reportedly a former employee of the Islamic Association of Palestine (IAP) which was founded by the Muslim Brotherhood (U.S. vs. HLF Exhibit 003-0003, page 5), an internal MB document used as an exhibit in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror funding trial. On their website it states Hooper has been with CAIR since it was founded.  CAIR's founders, Nihad Awad, its former president Omar Amad and Rafeeq Jaaber were all employees of IAP.

CAIR Oklahoma pro Hamas rally in 2009 troubling

screen shot of video by Muskogee Political of Gaza rally 1/5/09 organized by Razi Hashmi, the director of CAIR's chapter in Oklahoma

CAIR Oklahoma sponsorship of a so-called "peace rally" in January 2009 bothers me a lot and now, before their annual banquet in March which features an anti-Israeli speaker, it's a good time to revisit it.  I believe when you look at the visuals of the rally, the statements made by Razi Hashmi, the director of the Oklahoma chapter of CAIR, an organization ID'd as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror funding trial, the rally was, in part, a front for supporting Hamas.

First, take a look at the screen shot above of a video taken by Muskogee Political.  See the strong anti-Israel messages?  Most Oklahomans are Christians and our allegiance to Israel is deep within our Biblical text and is unbreakable.  So, to deliberately offend the majority of Oklahomans was foolish to do.

In two NewsOK articles about the rally, the allegiance to the "Hamas rulers" seemed unmistakable.  On January 5,  2009, the day of the rally reporter, Michael McNutt wrote, Oklahoma protesters call for end to fighting in Gaza:

More than 200 people, most of them Islamic- Americans, demonstrated peacefully today outside the state Capitol asking state and national leaders to press Israel for a cease-fire against the Gaza Strip's Hamas rulers...

The next day,  McNutt wrote another article titled Group protests Gaza unrest at Oklahoma state Capitol.  This time, he wrote what Razi Hashmi said:

America should take immediate steps to end Israel’s "illegal and immoral” offensive against the Gaza Strip’s Hamas rulers, the executive director of the Oklahoma City chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations said Monday.

No mention was made by Hashmi that Israel was defending itself against Hamas rockets and live to this day in fear of rocket attacks by a group that has vowed their destruction which they have in writing in their Hamas Charter.

You can watch the videos of the protest again here and here (taken by Muskogee Political).  Only one sign at the rally was removed and that was the one of the swastika over the Israeli symbol but the man carrying that sign can been seen leading the chant in the 2nd video (midway through) without the sign.  This photo was taken by Okie Campaign. No other anti-Israel signs were removed.

During this time,  Hashmi had the gall to put words in our mouths by claiming he thought Oklahomans are concerned about our support of Israel, which is simply inaccurate:

Hashmi, an Edmond resident, said the U.S. government has not made it a secret that they support Israel. He said he thinks Oklahomans are concerned that taxpayers’ money is helping fund weapons for Israel, which are being used to attack the Gaza Strip...

When U.S. Rep. Mary Fallen spoke out against Hamas, a designated foreign terrorist organization. Hashmi said she should be neutral. Let's just remember the Gaza Strip was violently over-thrown by Hamas in 2007 and embedded themselves among the civilians. Any retaliation against Hamas would, by default, involve civilians but that doesn't seem to bother Razi Hashmi, in the least.

CAIR, is an outgrowth of the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas infrastructure in America. The Muslim Brotherhood is a religious supremacist global organization whose branch in Palestine started Hamas with the express goal to destroy Israel for Islam.  It's important to remind everyone that Palestine was a territory of the Islamic Ottoman hegemony. Now, Islamists want Israel under the control of the Islamic world as it was under the Ottoman caliphate and is part of their goals to create a new caliphate.

Lastly, Palestine has been offered statehood twice. First, it was proposed in the U.N. Partition Plan in Resolution 181 on November 29, 1947.  Israel accepted it and the Arab world did not.  Then, a United Nation General Assembly resolution was adopted "acknowledging the proclamation of the State of Palestine by the Palestine National Council on the 15th of November 1988.

But most people don't know these facts. Furthermore, the two governments within Palestine don't even get along.

Stop offensive against Hamas rulers!

Did I, by chance, overlook any public response from the Islamic Society of Tulsa on the Hamas-controlled Gaza conflict with Israel?

In light of this, we then have to rely on their use of CAIR's response to the conflict and the words of their Oklahoma Director, Razi Hashmi, who was quoted by NewsOK on January 6th that America needs to take immediate actions to end the illegal and immoral offensive taken by Israel against the Hamas rulers!  Oh, those poor Hamas thugs.

This picture is from a screen shot of IST's website taken today to which I added some red boxes and wording to highlight their alliance with CAIR.

CAIR Oklahoma director, Razi Hashmi, stands up for Hamas!

"America should take immediate steps to end Israel’s "illegal and immoral” offensive against the Gaza Strip Hamas rulers, the executive director of the Oklahoma City chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations said Monday. "We as Oklahomans and as Americans should be concerned about this conflict because our taxes are going towards Israel,”  "We should not allow our government to give Israel a blank check to allow the destruction of hopes for peace in the Middle East.”
