Former CAIR director forms organization to lobby Florida legislators!

CAIR was started by two former officials of Mousa Abu Marzook’s Islamic Association of Palestine (IAP) in America. in 1994, Omar Ahmad and Nihad Awad, left this organization and started CAIR. They are still in top leadership positions today. 

Marzook at the time was the global head of Hamas, and the purpose of the committee was to raise funds for Hamas from within America. He lived in the U.S. around 14 year in the 80s and early 90s.  This man earned a doctorate degree here and could have had a great life in America but he had an Islamist agenda to help destroy Israel and bring Islamic rule over Israel through Hamas.

He was arrested upon arriving back in America in 1995 but Israel did not seek to bring him to justice for a number of terrorist attacks he was suspected of coordinating, for reason I don't fully understand.

Today Marzook (i.e., Musa Abu-Marzuq; Sa'id Abu-Marzuq and other such names) is the current Deputy Political Bureau Chief of HAMAS, operating in exile out of Damascus, Syria.

Sami Al-Arian also helped set-up IAP with Marzook.  He is still in America and is awaiting trial but seeks to get the latest charges dismissed with a lot of help from the left.  He will eventually be deported where he might join Marzook and help run Hamas.

CAIR's former director in Florida, Ahmed Bedier, often spoke about Arian, for example,  here, here, here, and here.  On his blog, he denied he was his spokesman.

Bedier left CAIR Florida last year and formed a new organization called United Voices for America.

In the short clip below you can hear him say the government should fear us.

However, you should watch it in full context (see video below) which was posted yesterday to counter the American's Against Hate video.  But in the scope of CAIR's troubling history, does it really change anything?
