Responding to CAIR supporter, Bob Gresham of Oklahoma

It never ceases to amaze me who takes the side of CAIR, despite all the documented evidence against them.  Yesterday, a Oklahoma building contractor, named Bob Gresham, wrote an opinion piece titled Point: Christians and Muslims in Oklahoma about an “I Don’t CAIR” conference held at Trinity Baptist in Yukon, OK. four weeks ago.  I took issue with some of his inaccurate statements and allegations and commented but am quite sure the OkGazette will not publish it.  They did allow Pastor Paul Blair the opportunity to write Counterpoint: ‘Proclaiming truth is not hateful’, but apparently no comments are being posted, which I always find troubling. Pastor Blair brought up something more broard than just CAIR that's worth repeating here:

He said "...None of the 57 Islamic nations offer freedom and equality as we enjoy here. For example, a Muslim is free to move to Oklahoma, carry his Quran openly and share his beliefs with others, but an Oklahoman would not be allowed to carry a Bible openly in Saudi Arabia and share his Christian faith with Muslims. In spite of this fact, American Christians are the ones accused of being intolerant..."  

Not only is that true but in America there is an increasing intolerance of Christians, here and there, and we will all need to stand stronger together going forward.  I think the time may be coming for a civil rights organization for Christians in the U.S.

Below are my comments to Mr. Gresham regarding his support of CAIR:

It's rather disturbing to see a local Oklahoma building contractor claim critics of CAIR use unsubstantiated accusations that end up somehow as an attack on all Muslims that leds to anger, bigotry, and "ultimately violence."  Wow!  CAIR and its supporters have to realize It's not hard for anyoneto verify the court cases that have referenced them and their reasons for doing so.  Or read the FBI and the Department of Justice letters to members of Congress and others about CAIR.  Or, how easy it is for us to review their own words and actions to see how they support terrorists and/or their supporters, work against the FBI and go after many public people who has criticized Islam.  It's all out there.

Research shows the Crusades were largely in response to Islamic hegemonies.  I suggest people spend some time to study the 1400 years of caliphate rule how they seized land and forced others to live under a religious supremacist authority.  It's highly irresponsible for Gresham to claim that most of the Crusades were not related to Islamic aggression.

CAIR was founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamic supremacist organization that was created after the last caliphate ended in 1924. Their branch in Palestine create Hamas.  This has all been established in court.  Did you know CAIR tried to get their name removed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror funding case?  They were NOT successful. 

CAIR also has stood with convicted terrorists and their supporters such as Sami Al-Arian and others.  IN 1991 and captured on video Al-Arian said:  "The Koran is our constitution… Jihad is our path … Victory to Islam… Death to Israel… Revolution… revolution till the victory."   

In 2008, Prof. Parvez Ahmed chairman of the board of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Dr. Agha Saeed national chair of the American Muslim Alliance (AMA) wrote a CAIR Op-Ed piece that claimed al-Arian was a political prisoner of the United States in SAMI AL-ARIAN MUST BE FREED even though he was found guilty for aiding the Palestian Islamic Jiahd! 

Early last year, CAIR called upon Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to pressure the UAE for the release of Los Angeles Muslim Naji Hamdan who was held there on terror suspicion.   Last fall, Hamden was convicted. 

The FBI told the Edmond Sun in March:

“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.”

The films shown at the "We Don't CAIR" event primarily used the words and actions of Islamists and jihadists.  They didn't make it up, folks, but Gresham chose to blame those who showed these people.  My God, the indefensible crime of using jihadists own words and actions.  Shame on them!

Razi Hashmi, CAIR's local director recently has either bragged about CAIR or claimed critics are merely the lies of the right wing fringe or people are misinformed or he has completely refused to answer direct questions because he and CAIR want you to believe they are only a civil rights organization and they want you to continue to be ignorant of the facts that haunt them.  They will use any tactic they can to divert attention away from these facts.  It is dishonest.

Think about it this way.  When the only response to critics CAIR and its supporters make is to call them names, like a child would do,  you have to ask yourself why they can't simply respond in a more intelligent manner to direct questions. 

Americans are smart people. 

Jacksonville City Councilman speaks out why he voted against Parvez Ahmed

Clay Yarborough, a Jacksonville, Florida council member issued a statement at last night's council meeting giving his reasons why he would not vote to approve ex-CAIR chair Parvez Ahmed to the Human Rights Commission (Ahmed was approved in a 13/6 vote).  His statement was republished in the Jacksonville Observer.

I responded in a comment which was not approved by the Jacksonville Observer so I added it below for your review:

Mr. Yarborough, it was brave of you to stand up for the truth. Recently, the FBI responded to questions by the Edmond Sun in Oklahoma about CAIR:

In What’s the Truth About CAIR, the FBI stated on March 6, 2010:

“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 also has a long history of standing with terrorists or their supporters, such as convicted terror supporter Sami Al Arian, a former Florida professor. Their action alert issued on March 19, 2008, asked for others to write letters in support of Al-Arian. CAIR participated in an April 15, 2008 press conference calling forAl-Arian's release.  In fact, Ahmed, the man just approved to Jacksonville's Human Rights Council,  co-wrote an opinion piece claiming Al-Arian was a political prisoner of the U.S. government!

Ahmed’s approval to the Human Rights Commission is a big stain on the City of Jacksonville because of his long-standing association with CAIR, which was formed by the Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas infrastructure in America.

I applaud your brave and honest stand.

Supreme Court: Cross in Mojave Desert can stay!

Well, here is some good news which shows how important it is to have conservatives on the Supreme Court:

The Supreme Court said Wednesday that a federal court went too far in ordering the removal of a congressionally endorsed war memorial cross from its longtime home in California.

In ruling that the cross could stay, the justices said federal judges in California did not take sufficient notice of the government’s decision to transfer the land in a remote area of California to private ownership. The move was designed to eliminate any constitutional concern about a religious symbol on public land.

The ruling was 5-4, with the court’s conservatives in the majority.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars erected the cross more than 75 years ago atop an outcropping in the Mojave National Preserve.

Calvey Blasts CAIR Hypocrisy

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Calvey Blasts CAIR Hypocrisy

OKLAHOMA CITY (April 26, 2010) – Kevin Calvey, candidate for Oklahoma’s Fifth Congressional District, today condemned the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) for hypocritically applauding a decision to disinvite the Rev. Franklin Graham, son of Billy Graham, from speaking at the Pentagon. The pastor was to speak on May 6, the National Day of Prayer.

“CAIR claims to be a civil rights organization, but they have shown their own biases by heaping criticism on a Christian leader,” Calvey said. “Instead of upholding freedom of speech for all Americans, even those they disagree with, CAIR is merely pushing its own agenda of identity politics and division.”

The FBI and U.S. Department of Justice named CAIR as a co-conspirator in a major terrorist fundraising case. Calvey says CAIR has failed to address frequent anti-American protests by Muslims.

“I do not understand why CAIR leaders spend their time attacking the Rev. Graham instead of working to improve Muslim-American relations,” Calvey said. “I find it reprehensible that CAIR leaders would rather attack a peaceful Christian leader than condemn violent Muslim extremists like Hamas. CAIR needs to be more concerned with its own image than with the Rev. Graham’s opinions.”

Calvey is a small businessman and a conservative former state representative from Del City. Calvey volunteered to deploy to Iraq as a captain in the Army National Guard in 2007, and his mission in Iraq was to prosecute al Qaeda leaders and other terrorists in the Iraqi court system. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for his service. Calvey and his wife, Toni, live in Oklahoma City with their baby, Anastasia.

Ex-Chair of CAIR confirmed to the Human Rights Commission in Jacksonville

The City Council of Jacksonville, Florida has just voted to approve a seat of their Human Rights Commission for Parvez Ahmed, the former Chairman of the Board of CAIR, an organization formed by the Muslum Brotherhood/Hamas infrastructure in America.

Council members who voted in favor:  Voting in favor of Ahmed: Bishop, Brown, Clark, Corrigan, Crescimbeni, Fussell, Gaffney, Graham, Hyde, Jones, Joost, Lee, Shad

Here is an op-ed piece written by Ahmed in support of convicted terror-supporter Sami Al-Arian claiming he is a political prisioner of the United States government.

Here is a video of Sami Al-Arian proclaiming death to Israel

The Koran is our constitution… Jihad is our path … Victory to Islam… Death to Israel… Revolution… revolution till the victory.

Here is a video where Al-Arian is damning America.

This is the man Ahmed stood up for in his op ed.

ACTION: CAIR goes after Rev. Franklin Graham again!

CAIR, an organization formed by the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas infrastructure here, has issued a third press release about Rev. Franklin Graham and the National Day of Prayer.  The first two were related to his honorary chairmanship of the Pentagon's National Day of Prayer event where he was to speak.  After Military Religious Freedom Foundation issued a demand letter and CAIR issued an Action Alert to disinvite him, Graham was uninvited.

Yesterday, CAIR started a new effort to get Rev. Graham disinvited from speaking at Capitol Hill's National Day of Prayer for committing the sin of criticizing Islam which is forbidden to do under Islamic law. 

We cannot allow Islamic law to dictate how we can speak in America!

Not only should we be outraged,  but we should take action.  Call Congress and express your concern how a highly controversial Islamic organization wants to impose their will on free speech!  Demand Rev. Graham be allowed to speak at the Capitol Hill's National Day of Prayer event.

Call the Capitol Hill switchboard (202) 224-3121 and ask to speak to your representative and/or Senator and express very politely that you stand with Rev. Franklin Graham and his right to speak at their event and are highly concerned that a group like CAIR with its worrisome and documented history is trying to impose its will against Christians.

Ex-CAIR chairman does not deserve seat on Jacksonville Human Rights Commission

Parvez Ahmed served as CAIR's national board chair for a number of years which is a highly controversial Islamist organization.  He's under consideration for a seat on the city of Jacksonville's Human Rights Commission in Florida after being nominated by Mayor John Peyton.  The full City Council will vote tomorrow.

Let's review some important facts.  CAIR was founded by the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamic supremacist Islamist political organization.  The documentation about CAIR is significant.  For example, in  U.S. vs. Sabri Benkahla on page 58 read the following:

"Moreover, from its founding by Muslim Brotherhood leaders, CAIR conspired with other affiliates of the Muslim Brotherhood to support terrorists. See Government's Memorandum in Opposition to CAIR's Motion for Leave to File a Brief. etc.. in United States vs. Holy Land Foundation . . . et 01, Cr. No. 3-04-cr-240-G (N.D. Tx. September 4, 2007. Proof that the conspirators agreed to use deception to conceal from the American public their connections to terrorists was introduced at both the Texas trial in 2007 and also at a Chicago trial the previous year. United States vs. Askqai-, el al.. No. 03-978 (N.D. 111.2006)."

CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror funding trial for this reason.  CAIR was unable to remove their name because the facts present in court had already established their relationship to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.

The Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine created Hamas for the purposes of destroying Israel by and for Islam (this is written in the Hamas charter).  CAIR and its supporters' criticism against Israel virtually mirrors that of the Muslim Brotherhood.  The fact is Palestine was a territory of the Ottoman Empire - an Islamic hegemony who ruled over others for centuries.  It seized land and drove Jews and Christians out (Armenian Genocide, 1915, was a recent example).  The Muslim Brotherhood's ultimate goal is to recreate caliphate rule and was formed a few short years after the Ottoman Empire was defeated.

It was also revealed in the Holy Land Foundation Trial (HLF) that at a secret Hamas meeting in 1993 defendant Shukri Abu Baker was quoted on the wiretap transcript talking about how it would be beneficial to have more traditional, secular American organizations to help spread the Islamist message.  He and others envisioned an "alternative" organization "which can benefit from a new atmosphere, one whose Islamic hue is not very conspicuous," he said according to the transcript.
 
 "Prosecutor Barry Jonas asked (FBI) Burns whether any groups formed after the Philadelphia gathering fit this mold. "CAIR," she said..."

CAIR was started in next year.  It was given a $5,000 check from the HLF.  Ahmed served as the national board chairman of CAIR, for crying out loud.  Do you think he was unaware of all these facts about CAIR?   

Hello, City Council is anyone paying attention or doing their homework here?  Clearly,  Mayor John Peyton did not.

It is the goal of the Muslim Brotherhood, its U.S. leaders and supporters to gain power within the United States at the local, state and national level.  Their detailed plan for doing so was submitted as evidence in the HLF case.  This case was quite significant because it revealed the size and scope of the infiltration of the Muslim Brotherhood in this country.  It is far-reaching.

Pay close attention how CAIR leaders responds to it critics, including Ahmed, because they  will never directly answer any of the facts presented in any court case about them.  They either brush it off, claim it is unfounded or un-American, mock it, or say these are lies of Islamophobes or they refuse to answer.  CAIR uses a series of maneuvers to deflect the facts against them.

The citizens of Jacksonville must demand the city council not approve this nomination.

Army conforms to sharia law and rescinds invitation to Rev. Franklin Graham!

Freedom of speech doesn''t extend to critics of Islam now that the U.S. Army has now bowed down to sharia law:  Army withdraws Franklin Graham Pentagon prayer day invitation over his criticism of Islam.

CAIR and all Islamic supremacists will be very pleased.

Is no one allowed to criticize Islam in America?

In the Middle East,  those who live under Sharia law face the possibility of death if they criticize Islam.  The undeniable religious supremacist nature of Islamic rule cannot be overlooked or ignored.

In America, CAIR, an organization founded by the Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood, goes for the jugular of public officials who criticize Islam.  CAIR and their leftist partners. the dhimmicrats often work hand-in-hand to impose this same Islamic law onto non-Muslims - although they word-smith it so it's not so obvious but the intent is the same. 

The OIC, alleged to have possible ties to CAIR, is a Saudi-based and backed inter-governmental Islamist agency working to get a binding resolution approved at the U.N. that would make criticizing Islam illegal - worldwide, down to the local, state and national level.  They have already been successful in getting several non-binding resolutions passed. 

Americans had better wake up to what is going on here before it's too late.

The latest official on the hot seat this week is Rev. Franklin Graham who is scheduled to be the speaker at the Pentagon's National Day of Prayer on May 6th.  But, not if CAIR and the Military Religious Freedom Foundation get their way.  They want him uninvited.  CAIR whines that Rev. Graham said Muslims are enslaved by Islam.  But, isn't it true that Muslim cannot leave their religion in Islamic countries?  Can Rev. Graham not state this fact?  Can he also not say he does not believe in Islam?  

Think about this, anytime a Muslim recites the Quran they repeat verses that are anti-any other religion but Islam.   This is a book that makes it clear that Muslims believe Islam is the final religion that should rein over all others.  Hypocritcs?

Rev. Graham has the right to criticize Islam or any religion he wants.  Just as I do and just as you do.

Leaving Islam ads to go back on buses in Miami!

In a major victory against CAIR the "Leaving Islam" bus ads are going back up in Miami with 20 more being added, according to Jihad Watch.  Read their lawyer's statement if you get a chance, below is a short excerpt:

...It is ironic," Mr. Yerushalmi noted, "that the media allows CAIR to claim the mantle of a civil rights organization when it embraces censorship by the government all in the service of the "anti-blasphemy" platform of the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC), which calls for international legislation providing for criminal penalties against anyone who "insults Islam and its prophet Mohammed."

Mr. Yerushalmi added that the Center for Security Policy, a leading Washington D.C. national security think tank run by former Reagan administration official Frank Gaffney, has documented that CAIR is an illegal, unregistered foreign agent of the OIC, receiving millions of dollars from Islamic countries in order to pursue their political goals in the U.S. (See the CAIR Observatory at www.cairunmasked.org.) Mr. Yerushalmi is General Counsel to the Center for Security Policy.

..."This is not just an important day for the First Amendment. It is a 'teaching moment' to the media and to others in various government agencies who come across CAIR," Mr. Yerushalmi added. "CAIR is a criminal organization with ties to Hamas and other jihadists. This is not my opinion but the considered view of the U.S. Attorney's office, the FBI, and the federal courts, all based on the evidence CAIR has never refuted...

Army to consider uninviting Rev. Franklin Graham over criticism of Islam

Rev. Franklin Graham may be uninvited to the Pentagon on the National Day of Prayer because of his criticism of Islam over fears he may offend Muslims which was raised by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation who wrote a letter to Sec. Robert Gates stating that Muslims has contacted their organization and for Graham's criticism of Islam MRFF demanded that Rev. Graham being uninvited.

So, religious freedom means you are NOT free to criticism Islam, I guess?

Does that mean then that free speech is only free if you speak positively about Islam, which is required by shariah law?  Read Army considers rescinding invitation to evangelist.  If you recall,  CAIR issued a press release in December whining about Graham's criticism of Islam.  Applying shariah law to non-muslims is very troubling but this is what appears to be happening.  The Quran is offensive to Christians, if you think about it, because Muslims believe it is blasphemy to call Jesus the son of God.  So, it's OK for them to repeat these offensive verses but Christians can't speak up?  Come on.

No religion should ever be above criticism. EVER!  If the Army rescinds this invitation, it will be a dangerous step in the loss of our freedom of speech and the further bowing down to Shariah law.

Razi Hashmi promote article; A Christian stealth jihad in America?

Razi Hashmi, the director of the local chapter of CAIR in Oklahoma - an organization 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 others.

First of all, jihad is not a Christian term so its use in the title was laughable.

The screen shot captured above shows part of the article Hashmi copied and pasted into his post that claimed it's only right-wing nut jobs wh wrongly imagine there are efforts to promote Islamic supremacy in the U.S.  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 openly promotes in America Sharia Law and a return to the Caliphate. Or, that there's another website which calls for Islamic rule here (screen shot below). And what is worse, these are just a few examples how Islamic supremacists are working here.

So, all 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.

Extremist websites issues threats against South Park creators

A radical website called revolutionmuslim that is managed by a taxis driver named Yusuf Khattab in New York CIty posted a threat against the creators of South Park for a cartoon depicting the Islamic prophet.  That was reported by CNN and other news sources.  Currently, and I hope permanently, this website is shutdown. PLEASE.

There is another website, which I will not name, that claims it is the only celebrity gossip website run by Islamist extremists. It issued a fatwa against the South Park creators that is horribly sexually explicit.  This site should also be shut down even though it claims it does satire only.

Former CAIR chairman gets nod for seat on Human Rights Commission!

The former chairman of CAIR, Dr. Parvez Ahmed, was nominated by a committee of the City of Jacksonville, Florida for a seat on their Human Rights Commission.  At the meeting, ACT for America strongly objected to the nomination in a 20 page report.

...Randy McDaniel, ACT's Jacksonville chapter director says Ahmed has "a checkered past."

Ahmed served as both the Florida chairman and national chairman of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a group widely criticized for sympathizing with terror groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.

Ahmed was also criticized for a 2008 speech he gave, arguing the U.S. government should treat groups like Hamas and Hezbollah as part of the political process towards peace.

Council member Clay Yarborough was the lone vote against Ahmed's nomination, asking the University of North Florida professor if he would defend the U.S. Constitution. Ahmed replied, "yes, of course."

CAIR is an outgrowth of the Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas infrastructure in America which has been firmly established in court documents. 

Mayor John Peyton nominated Ahmed for the council.

In an article found in A Common Dream in 2004 Parvez claimed; "a search of past newspaper articles shows that terrorism, militancy or extremism by a Muslim is frequently linked to his faith".  I guess he was making a case that all this is just an illusion of our imagination or the media's drive for sensationalism.

Islam is linked to terrorists because they tell us it's their faith that guides them to do what they do (we aren't making this up).  These acts are often backed up by a number of Muslim clerics and their related fatwas.

The full Jacksonville City Council will vote on this nomination next Tuesday.

Update 4/21/10:  According to WND:  "The group remains under criminal investigation by the FBI, which has cut off all formal ties to it despite its high political profile. A federal grand jury in Washington is actively hearing evidence against CAIR."

Update 4/23/10:  Opposition Group Demands Apology From City Leaders

CAIR claims anti-government extremism moving toward the mainstream!

CAIR, an Islamist organization started by leaders of an over arm of the Muslim Brotherhood identified, issued a press release yesterday that claimed anti-government extremism is moving to the mainstream in an attempt to shift the issue over to the right. 

The mainstream?  Come on - that's even a new low for them.

You just might want to take a minute to review the page I created that tracks terror plots and trials for 2010 and previous years to see how many right-wing terror plots or trials have actually happened compared to Islamic motivated ones.

Of course, in CAIR's press release they failed to give one example that backed up their hate-filled accusation:

Islamic propagation ads allowed on buses but leaving Islam ads not!

Islamic organizations spent thousands of dollars to proselytize Islam with bus ads in several major cities in America over the last couple of years. Christian ads like these would never be allowed in any Islamic country in the world because Islamic law is religiously supremacist.

So, when a simple ad that appealed to Muslims who might be considering leaving Islam was put on buses in Miami Dade country recently, CAIR threw a fit, complained, issued a press release and the ads were pulled! CAIR is an organization started by the Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood as stated in  U.S. vs. Sabri Benkahla (page 58 in the footnote). It's totally beyond reason why this Islamist organization has any power based on the numerous court documents linking them to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.  When will officials begin to act accordingly?

Below is a picture of the "Leaving Islam"  bus ad that was pulled:

 

(photos above from freedomdefense)

The organizers of the "leaving Islam" bus ads are Pam Geller and Robert Spencer who are called two of the worst anti-Islam hate-monerings by CAIR and other Islamic organizations.  They plan to file suit against the bus company.

I just have one question.  How can religious freedom for anyone be considered offensive?

Razi Hashmi whines U.S. on wrong path with Muslim immigration

Razi Hashmi, the director of CAIR's chapter in Oklahoma spoke at a “Immigration in the Heartland” conference at the University of Oklahoma in Norman.  The event was co-sponsored by the Institute for Justice and Journalism and the University of Oklahoma’s Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication.

After, the conference CAIR Oklahoma issued a press release stating, in part:

"..CAIR-OK Executive Director Razi Hashmi spoke in a session on Muslim Immigration and the scrutiny that Muslim foreign-born immigrants have faced since 9/11. Mohamed Elibiary, President and CEO of the Freedom and Justice Foundation also spoke during this session.

“If we continue down the path we are going now, we will turn away some of the best and brightest minds and they will end up going somewhere else, leaving us at a disadvantage in competing in a global economy. Our community is proof positive of the success stories and contributions that Muslims have made to our great nation. We have an obligation to continue that promise of hope and prosperity,” said CAIR-OK Executive Director Razi Hashmi...

If we continue down the path we are going?  What is that suppose to mean?  Certainly, Hashmi isn't suggesting we not scrutinize Muslims in order to weed out extremists and those linked to them, is he?  To give credence to this man who works for an organization founded by the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamic supremacist entity from which Hamas sprung that seeks the destruction of Israel for Islam is shameful.   Hashmi has shilled for Hamas in the Oklahoma press, which, surprise surprise, follows the mantra of the Muslim Brotherhood. 

CAIR's press release also mentioned Mohamed Elibiary who participated in the same session as Hashmi.

Elibiary lamented in a 2008 op-ed piece that the Holy Land Foundation trial which sent its Muslim defendants to prison for decades after being found guilty of sending millions to Hamas was a big loss for America, an invasion of their privacy and denied their civil liberties!  CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in this case and one of the HLF defendants was a former CAIR official in Dallas.

I think it's fair to conclude that to have these two people speak at this conference was a serious mistake.

Muslim cleric ordered from U.S. in New York subway plot

Ahmad Afzali, a 39 year old imam from New York City was ordered to leave the country or be deported for lying to the FBI in last year's subway plot that was dubbed one of the most serious al-Qaeda related planned attacks in America since 9/11:

In a sentencing hearing in Brooklyn, U.S. District Judge Frederic Block told Ahmad Afzali, 39, he must leave within 90 days or be deported to his native Afghanistan, said Robert Nardoza, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Brooklyn.

...Afzali was accused of tipping off Najibullah Zazi that he was under investigation, forcing authorities to bring Zazi in for questioning sooner than planned. Earlier this year Zazi admitted he had received weapons and training from al Qaeda and plotted a suicide attack on the city's subways in rush hour.

The cleric, a self-proclaimed pro-American imam who cooperated with police in previous investigations, lied about the tip-off when questioned by the FBI, prosecutors said.

Open letter to President Obama from World Jewish Congress president

It's clear the relationship between the U.S. and Israel has deteriorated significantly since President Obama took office.  The man belonged to a church for twenty years whose own pastor published a letter from Hamas's leader in the Pastor's Corner section of their weekly newspaper, for crying out loud.  The worrisome account of Saudi support for Obama goes back to his days college.

Today, Ronald Lauder, the president of the World Jewish Congress published an open letter to President Obama on their website.  Below are some excerpts

...Jews around the world are concerned today.  We are concerned about the nuclear ambitions of an Iranian regime that brags about its genocidal intentions against Israel.  We are concerned that the Jewish state is being isolated and delegitimized.

Mr. President, we are concerned about the dramatic deterioration of diplomatic relations between the United States and Israel.

 

The Israeli housing bureaucracy made a poorly timed announcement and your Administration branded it an “insult.”  This diplomatic faux pas was over the fourth stage of a seven stage planning permission process – a plan to build homes years from now in a Jewish area of Jerusalem that under any peace agreement would remain an integral part of Israel.

 

Our concern grows to alarm as we consider some disturbing questions.  Why does the thrust of this Administration’s Middle East rhetoric seem to blame Israel for the lack of movement on peace talks? After all, it is the Palestinians, not Israel, who refuse to negotiate.

 

Israel has publicly declared support for a two-state solution.  Conversely, many Palestinians continue their refusal to even acknowledge Israel’s right to exist...

Palestine was a territory of an Islamic hegemony called the Ottoman Empire which ruled over a large expanse of land for centuries that grew in size during aggressive seizure of land by force.  This historical fact is key to understand what happened in this region.  It drove many Jewish people from their own homes.  It was also responsible for the genocide of up to 1 1/2 million Armenians near the end of the empire starting in 1915.  Most were Christians.

Islamists (Islamic supremacists) want all this land back for Islam, as stated in the Hamas charter.  Their goal is to delegitimize Israel.  President Obama seems to be helping them.

Instead of applauding the FBI for their relentless work to help prevent the next attack on innocent Americans by Muslim extremists, several Muslim college students at the University of Texas in Dallas (UTD) or the University of North Texas (Denton) either complained or hired an attorney who advised them NOT to talk to the FBI (was CAIR was involved?):

...Political science senior Borna Danesh (pictured) said he first encountered the bureau when representatives greeted him outside his class in November, around the time of the Nov. 5, 2009 Fort Hood shooting.

Danesh said FBI agents questioned him as they walked across campus, asking him to identify radical UTD students, radical preachers and asking him about his political views.

He said he was questioned again this spring, and still isn’t sure what prompted the interest.

Danesh also found out he was on the Transportation Security Administration “no-fly” list when he was stopped at an airport.

...He sometimes attends prayers at UTD, and is a member of Muslim Students for Justice (linked added by z), an off-campus group he described as hosting pro-Palestine and Malcolm X-influenced events.

...Danesh’s friend Irfan Hussain, a University of North Texas senior, said he was contacted by the FBI last October and again in March. An agent went to his home to speak with him and also called him by phone.

“It seems like they’re just trying to frame or harass me,” Hussain said.

Hussain hired an attorney, who advised him to not answer the FBI’s questions.

The use of generic words to describe our enemy offensive

At least one person in Congress has some common sense about our enemy and isn't afraid to speak up:

Sen. Joe Lieberman slammed the Obama administration Sunday for stripping terms like "Islamic extremism" from a key national security document, calling the move dishonest, wrong-headed and disrespectful to the majority of Muslims who are not terrorists. The Connecticut independent revealed that he wrote a letter Friday to top counterterrorism adviser John Brennan urging the administration to "identify accurately the ideological source" of the threat against the United States. He wrote that failing to identify "violent Islamist extremism" as the enemy is "offensive." The letter was written following reports that the administration was removing religious references from the U.S. National Security Strategy -- the document that had described the "ideological conflict" of the early 21st century as "the struggle against militant Islamic radicalism."

This is not honest and, frankly, I think it's hurtful in our relations with the Muslim world," Lieberman said. "We're not in a war against Islam. It's a group of Islamist extremists who have taken the Muslim religion and made it into a political ideology, and I think if we're not clear about that, we disrespect the overwhelming majority of Muslims who are not extremists." 

Tariq Ramadan will speak in America about jihad for young hearts

"I am critical towards the American policy—I have been—and very much against the Bush administration ," --- Tariq Ramadan 4/9/2010

 

Tariq Ramadan is the grandson of the founder of the Islamic Supremacy Muslim Brotherhood who was banned from entering the U.S. on allegations he gave to a charity that funded Hamas. On Wednesday, he arrived in America after Sec. Hilliary Clinton removed the ban. He certainly couldn't have picked a more provacative title for his first lecture in America: "Jihad Within Young Hearts: Toward a Positive Engagement."

By the way, he is still banned in Egypt and 5 other Islamic mahority countries.

...The lecture is being sponsored by Sound Vision, an Islamic media company in Chicago headed by Imam Abdul Malik Mujahid, a leader in Chicago's Muslim community.

Mujahid said the previous ban on Ramadan "was ill advised considering he was among the top intellectuals of the world." He added that "Notre Dame's loss can't be compensated, but...this can now open the door...Stopping Americans from hearing diverse voices is unconstitutional."

Supporters of Ramadan say he is a thoughtful academic who is reasonable.

Critics say that Ramadan promotes Islamic supremacy and extremism. Zuhdi Jasser, head of the Arizona-baesd American Islamic Forum for Democracy, said he "considers Ramadan a threat to American Muslims because he puts a passive face on the ideology of political Islam and the concepts of Islamic supremacy."

"While the words Muslim Brotherhood rarely leave his lips, Tariq Ramadan’s ideology is indistinguishable from the Brotherhood which is counter to the principles of liberty and freedom found here in America," Jasser said in a statement.

Ramadan could not be immediately reached. He says on his website that: "I am very happy and hopeful that I will be able to visit the United States very soon and to once again engage in an open, critical and constructive dialogue with American scholars and intellectuals."

He added: "Other governments — in the Near East — continue to ban me from their territory and forbid me to express myself freely. We must salute the progress accomplished by the United States — while remaining vigilant and critical of American policies...The road ahead is long."

Thanks Sec. Clinton for lifting the ban on this controversial Islamist.

An April 9th interview with Tariq Ramadan with Democracy Now

We want to see things happen in America, he said. --- And your father was friends with Macolm X? Why, why yes he was. This is a good interview because it gives insights into his anti-American Islamist mindset. He does talk a little about the Muslim Brotherhood and said he would support what his grandfather did - to fight against British colonialism but he failed to mention that the goal of the Muslim Brotherhood is to establish an Islamic supremacist state:

ABC News employs former CAIR official

What a shocking story by Debbie Schlussel who informs us that Sharaf Mowjood, the former Government Relations Coordinator for the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) of Greater Los Angeles,  has been hired by ABC News who now apparently have sunk to a despicable new low.  Mowjood co-wrote a story about the death of Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah in Detroit and reported about CAIR's involvement in the case which paints the U.S. as the bad guy!

EXCLUSIVE: ABC News Reporter on CAIR Story Was CAIR Official!

Airline scare diplomat was going to see jailed Al-Qaeda agent

Mohammed Al-Madadi, the diplomat in the Denver-bound airline scare last night, was on his way to see a jailed Al-Qaeda operative, Ali Al-Marri.

Fox News also has confirmed that the diplomat was on his way to Denver for a consular visit with a jailed Al Qaeda operative -- perhaps adding to the tension with the U.S. government. 

The State Department comment came after officials already were calling for Mohammed Al-Madadi to either be recalled or expelled for doing just about "everything wrong" on board the United Airlines flight to Denver late Wednesday. 

That's considered official diplomatic business?

Qatar diplomat, Mohammed al Modadi, not charged for causing bomb scare

Qatar diplomat, Mohammed al Modadi,  was onboard United Airlines flight 663 from Washington, D.C. to Denver last night.  He apparently went into the lavatory to sneak a smoke.  Air marshalls onboard confronted him and he replied "I'm trying to light my shoes on fire."

Qatar is the home to the religious leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Yusef Al-Qaradawi, and the media outlet AlJazerra, who, by the way,  is encouraging Americans to demand it be added to their local cable cable channel.

Mastercard offers shariah compliant card!

 
Photograph by: Mastercard

A new card is being offered to Muslims that complies with Shariah Law!  It's really just a cash card you have to pre-load with money.

It will also cost users .95 cens each time they add money and a fee of $50 ever two years for the privilege of using the card.  According the to article, "The card, which is primarily aimed at younger newcomers, was launched at the inaugural conference of the Usury-Free Association of North America in downtown Toronto".

Hmmm...

Creeping shariah?  You decide.

The Obama administration to follow Sharia Law in new U.S. security document

It is being reported the Obama administration will strike religious references in the central document outlining the U.S. national security strategy.  Gone will be words such as 'Islamic extremism', 'jihadist,' 'jihad,' 'caliphate,' 'Islamist,' or 'Islamic terrorist' and so on. 

Previously, the Bush administration had identified America's national security threat, "The struggle against militant Islamic radicalism is the great ideological conflict of the early years of the 21st century."

Magically, with the stroke of a pen or the delete key, the previously identified religious ideologically threat America faces will disappeared, at least on paper.  It's important to note, this move by Obama follows Sharia Law where no one is allowed to say terrorism and Islam in the same sentence.  The Muslim Brotherhood, the Saudis, their OIC inter-government body and all Islamists worldwide will be very pleased because this is one of the key components to control people and allows the further entrenchment of this religious-based system.

Not acknowledging that a rigid Islamist ideology drives our enemy is utterly foolish. 

Update 4/8/10:  CAIR, founded by the Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood,  issued a press release praising the Obama administration for removing "loaded words" that link Islam with extremism.  They also went on to say they hope this will lead to policy changes.  You see,  Islamists want the U.S. government to be against Israel.  That's the kind of policy change they want to see.

Muslim Brotherhood Chairman urges resistance

On this Good Friday, it's imporant for Christians and all other non-Muslims to know there are forces at work to create an Islamic state.  From the new chairman of the Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood:

Dr. Mohammed Badie chairman of the Muslim Brotherhood called on all Arab leaders to take a firm stance and assume full responsibility in all of the Islamic nation's issues. In his weekly statement titled "When will rulers realize their full duty and serve their nation?" he emphasised that for Islam's glory to be restored it had to be fought for and resistance against all that opposed and threatened Islam is the only solution.

Badie expressed that it was imperative that the Arab rulers annul any futile negotiations both direct and indirect, and support all forms of resistance to liberate every inch of occupied lands in Palestine, Iraq, and Afghanistan. He also called on them to support the NGO and institutions who appealed on the leaders to stop the normalization, and support the resistance.

Badie advised rulers to allow the people to express their anger against the arrogance of the Israeli occupational forces throughout their peaceful protests warning them that the suppression and continued arrests will only result in further anger. He denounced the continued daily arbitrary arrests of people from all walks of life who united to voice their anger against the desecration of Islam's holy sites.

 

...Badie call on the one and a half billion Muslims to unite and combat together in resistance against the American and Israeli hegemony and the handful of arrogant Israelis who are tampering with the sacred and holy places which should be acknowledged and attributed worldwide as belonging to the Muslims.

The Muslim Brotherhood is banned in Egypt and a number of their leaders and supporters have infiltrated the U.S.

CAIR was founded by leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Allegations: CAIR is acting as a foreign agent

While, I do not know if all these allegations are true or not, you should, at least,  be aware of them because the main stream media won't go near it, nor will our government, for some reason.  Financial documents are available at The CAIR Observatory for your review.  You have a right to know.

OK Assistant Attorney General, William F. O'Brien, shills for CAIR Oklahoma, once again

Oklahoma has an Assistant Attorney General by the name of William F. O'Brien who writes fluffy articles in the Edmond Sun about CAIR, an organization founded by leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood who were identified in U.S. vs. Sabri Benkahla, who also "conspired with other affiliates of the Muslim Brotherhood to support terrorists." Their pattern of troubling behavior continues to this day.  O'Brien also proselytizes for Islam - crossing the line between government and religion, in my opinion.

O'Brien's byline in the Edmond Sun where he writes his fluffy articles says he is an attorney, which is rather deceptive considering he is a state official.  Does the Attorney General of Oklahoma, Drew Edmondson, who is running for governor,  not have a problem with this behavior?

O'Brien's latest article titled CAIR honors contributors at annual banquet is more of the same.

Razi Hashmi, the director of CAIR's chapter in Oklahoma has been giving six opportunities to address the documented evidence that ties CAIR to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas recently.  Since November, he has either bragged about CAIR (OETA interview), called other liars here (Newson6) and here (interview) or distanced (OU Daily) CAIR Oklahoma from CAIR, or refused to answer questions (News9) or claimed critics are misinformed (Edmond Sun).

Last year, Hashmi shilled for Hamas when he said "America should take immediate steps to end Israel’s "illegal and immoral” offensive against the Gaza Strip’s Hamas rulers."  He also tried to puts words in the mouth of Oklahomans by saying (halfway down) he thinks we are worried about taxpayer dollars that support Israel!  How utterly presumptuous of him because that's flat wrong!  Hashmi then tried to put pressure on U.S. Rep. Mary Fallen to keep her opinions about Israel to herself!

How long can Hashmi continue to dodge these questions?  How long can Drew Edmondson allow an assistant attorney general to shill for CAIR?

Update 9/27/10:  In O'Brien's latest article in August, he wrote about CAIR's Muslim Youth Activism/Leadership program.  He mentioned Dawud Walid, the executive director of the Michigan CAIR chapter. whose chapter is suing several law enforcement agencies in Michigan, over information in the death of a radical cleric.  CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror-funding trial and the FBI severed their partnership. 

O'Brien never mentions any of these facts.
