CAIR Trains FBI Part I


New Report Again Links Cair to Terrorism

By de Andréa
April 2, 2008

Further proof that the U.S. Government as a whole does not comprehend even what the Crusaders finely realized back in the first Millennium AD, is that we are having our enemy train our government agencies about how to fight our enemy. As ludicrous as that sounds, it is nevertheless the truth. This is why, while we may win the war in Iraq; just as in Europe however, we are certain to lose the war against Islam here on our home turf. This is because, while we think we are at war with terrorism, we are actually at war with the Nation of Islam.

Question: Were there any moderate Nazi’s?

The Council on American Islamic Relations CAIR, an American Muslim Terrorist group identified as an unindicted co-conspirator in a criminal terrorism case is being used by the FBI to train its agents on how to fight terrorist Islam. This is tantamount to having a Nazi organization train the U.S. Military on how to fight against Nazi Germany during the Second World War. Do you think the enemy might be tempted to give us just a little misinformation? Naw…

The FBI declined to respond to questions about this seeming disconnect, as one of the pre-eminent anti-terrorist research centers in America has just released an extensive report on the same prominent U.S. Muslim group, accusing the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) of being a foe, rather than an ally, in the war on terror. For lack of a better description, this is truly a definition of insanity. This shows only one thing, and that is just how deceived America is about this enemy.

This is really nothing new however, the U.S. Government has been using terrorist organizations to teach us how to run our U.S. Customs Department, our Airport Security, the CIA, our colleges our elementary schools, the Joint Chiefs at the Pentagon, you name it, CAIR or some terrorist organization is an advisor to the highest authority. Even to the Office of the President. I mean this is carrying, ”Keep Your Enemy’s Close” just a little to far, would that it was all there was to it…But I am afraid not.

The 10-part report on CAIR from The Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT), led by Steven Emerson, came out on March 24. It tells the story of the group formed in the early 1990s to defend the agenda of Islam in the Middle East and by portraying the war on terror as a war on Islam, (which it should be) and by defending those arrested on terror charges.

Before I go any farther, I think there is something very basic that you ought to know, and that is that all the previous directors of CAIR are now in prison for their ties to terrorist organizations such as Al-Qaida, Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, and Mujahideen etc.

"After a careful review of the history, activities, statements, and causes of and by CAIR, it seems that its primary goals are to silence and de-legitimize its critics and redefine what it means to be a moderate Muslim," says the IPT report. "And when it comes to U.S. efforts to crack down on terrorists and their financiers, CAIR takes a visceral stand in opposition."

"CAIR consistently deceives the American public, law enforcement and politicians, portraying itself as a moderate and independent organization. But its own records, statements and other documents tell a different story which the public deserves to know."
CAIR vigorously rebuts IPT's allegations, which include the charge that it is a front for Hamas, a Palestinian militia designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the United States government.

"Steven Emerson’s allegations are utterly false," CAIR spokesman Ahmed Rehab said,. "CAIR is not a front for Hamas, Hezbollah, or any other foreign group, nor has it ever been. CAIR is an independent American institution, established by Americans for the purpose of defending the civil rights of American Muslims, (this is part of the deception they don’t tell you just what those interests are) and advocating fairness on their legitimate concerns and interests. CAIR is committed to non-violent advocacy for justice and equality.(another part of the deception non-violent advocacy means the non-violent infiltration of American culture for the systematic incremental introduction of Sharia Law into our society) CAIR unequivocally condemns all acts of violence against civilians by any individual, group or state."

Rehab called Emerson part of a group of "Islamophobic pundits."
The assessment of IPT, and other critics, comes as CAIR has grown to become the most influential Muslim organization in America, with over 30 chapters and offices nationwide and in Canada. It has waged an aggressive public relations campaign to depict itself as a civil rights champion. Its representatives make regular media appearances, commenting on the war on terror. At the same time, CAIR has formed alliances with private and government organizations to teach them about Islam.(which means to Brainwash us about Islam)

CAIR's website states it is a "Muslim civil liberties and advocacy group. CAIR's vision is to promote justice and mutual understanding."

But the IPT, government documents paint a different picture. Rather than being strictly a civil rights group, CAIR is a staunch defender of alleged terrorists nabbed in the U.S., a persistent critic of the war on terror and an unindicted co-conspirator with a foundation the government says funds terrorism.

CAIR supports many Muslim charities, (Muslim Charity is a code word for Islamic terrorist organizations). The Quran does not teach benevolence.

"CAIR was designed to give a political cover and political front for Hamas in the United States and then it branched out to do other things," said Emerson. "Its raison d'etre is really to influence policy on the Middle East and lobby for Hamas. They are the political lobbying arm for Hamas."

Critics point to how CAIR was born. Its primary founders in 1994, Nihad Awad and Omar Ahmad, held senior positions in a group called the Islamic Association of Palestine (IAP). The U.S. government has branded that group as a front for Hamas. It has documented IAP meetings in which speakers urged the killing of Jews. IAP provided seed money to CAIR.

The most damaging charges against CAIR have emerged in recent months in the federal government's criminal case against the Texas-based Holy Land Foundation. The Justice Department says Holy Land is a front for raising money for Islamic radicals--and that CAIR is a conspirator. The first criminal trial last summer ended in a mistrial. A new trial is scheduled for August.

The main reason for the mistrial was uncovered by an investigative journalist; who discovered that the jurists just didn’t understand Islam, their motives, their agenda, the fundamental purpose of their so-called religion. That Eastern Muslims don’t even think like Western Europeans or Americans. Again, all part of the deception.

The Holy Land prosecution confirmed their concerns about CAIR, as prosecutor’s unveiled documents that showed Holy Land's ties to Hamas--and to CAIR. Prosecutors also produced the fruits of FBI surveillance of various American Muslims in an overall government effort to stop the financing of terrorist cells abroad.

These documents, the IPT report, and other sources show:
CAIR's two principal founders attended a critical meeting of Muslims in Philadelphia in 1993 that was under surveillance by the FBI. The two are Ahmad, CAIR founding chairman; and Awad, its executive director. The meeting was hosted by the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood's Palestine Committee, which the federal government says is a front group for Hamas. One topic discussed at the meeting was how to derail the 1993 Oslo Accord between Israel and the Palestinians. Attendees expressed support for Jihad. Ahmad, now CAIR's chairman emeritus, and Awad founded CAIR shortly after this important strategy meeting.

Rehab, the CAIR spokesman, downplays the 1993 meeting's importance.
"Nihad Awad and Omar Ahmad have never been members of or associated with or tied to Hamas," he said. "The 1993 public meeting to which you refer has no bearing on CAIR which did not come to existence until 1994 based on a transparent mission and vision. Since its inception, CAIR has grown exponentially as an expression of the American-Muslim grassroots ... [CAIR] counts as its workforce hundreds of staff, interns, and volunteers of every race, faith, age, and professional background--all are proud Americans."

CAIR conspired with Holy Land to raise money for Hamas. The Justice Department labeled CAIR as an unindicted co-conspirator. "Its conspiratorial relationship with the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) was confirmed by testimony and documentary evidence admitted at trial," prosecutors said in a brief in U.S. District Court. Internal documents seized by the FBI shows that CAIR was a member of the Palestine Committee. Court documents show chairman Ahmad mediated a funding dispute between Holy Land and Abdelhaleem Ashqar over funding for Hamas founder Sheik Jamil Hamami.

CAIR publicly has vouched for the innocence of Muslims arrested in the United States on terrorism charges--sometimes even after their convictions.

Awad strongly defended Mousa Abu Marzook, a Hamas official who founded the Islamic Association of Palestine. The U.S. government listed Marzook as a specially designated terrorist. It indicted him in 2004 and he subsequently fled the country.

Perhaps the most celebrated case is that of Sami Al-Arian. A professor at the University of South Florida, al-Arian was indicted in 2003 on charges he raised money for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). Like Hamas, PIJ is committed to the destruction of Israel, conducts suicide attacks against Israeli citizens and is a U.S.-designated foreign terror organization.

"Whenever a Muslim indictment is announced, virtually all the time CAIR will come to their defense," said Emerson. "There has never been an instance when CAIR has supported an Islamic indictment."

Awad openly voiced his support for Hamas in 1994. "I used to support the PLO, and I used to be the President of the General Union of Palestine Students which is part of the PLO here in the United States, but after I researched the situation inside Palestine and outside, I am in support of the Hamas movement more than the PLO," he said.

In 2004, CAIR condemned Israel's killing of Ahmed Yassin, the Hamas founder whom intelligence sources say directed suicide bombing killings against Israelis.

A CAIR press release called Yassin "a wheel-chair-bound Palestinian Muslim religious leader" and called on the United States to cut off support to Israel.

In its statement, CAIR said: "We call on the United States to join its allies in condemning this political assassination and to make that condemnation meaningful by cutting the flow [of] American-taxpayer dollars to Israel. It is these tax dollars that pay for the weapons Israel uses to carry out such illegal attacks. American repudiation of Israel's brutal policies could also be demonstrated by the cancellation of Ariel Sharon's upcoming visit to Washington."

Some CAIR officials reject evidence that al Qaeda carried out the 9/11 attacks. The executive director of CAIR-New York told Newsday in October 2001, "Mohammed Atta [the 9/11 ring leader and hijacker] is alive and living in the United Arab Emirates. His passport was stolen."

FBI Embraces CAIR
There is a definite disconnect in the government's prosecution of Holy Land officials. On the one hand, federal prosecutors in Dallas accused CAIR of being a co-conspirator, and cite FBI-gathered evidence. On the other hand, the FBI embraces CAIR. A clear example of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing.

CAIR trains FBI agents across the country on Islam and how to treat Muslims. CAIR's archived press releases show numerous instances of CAIR representatives training the FBI, as well as the Marine Corps, local law enforcement and government employees.
"CAIR-CT Trains FBI Agents on Islam," said a May 2007 press release about instructions given to agents in Connecticut.

"Representatives of the Connecticut chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-CT) recently offered diversity and sensitivity training on Islam and Muslims to officials at the New Haven office of the FBI," the release said. "The hour-long training included information on basic Islamic beliefs and practices."

At the Justice Department, spokesman Dean Boyd said, “We can't provide any comment on CAIR vis-a-vis Holy Land. There is a gag order that remains in place in connection with the Holy Land Foundation case.”

Despite its critics, CAIR is growing bolder. It has announced a major new public relations campaign dubbed "Beyond Stereotypes.” CAIR is distributing to reporters 40,000 handbooks called, "American Muslims: A Journalist's Guide to Understanding Islam and Muslims." Indoctrination of Islamic propaganda is more like it…

CAIR'S Critics
CAIR's public campaigns have spurred a counter movement--groups established or redirected to rebut its assertions. Emerson's IPT monitors CAIR constantly, posts relevant documents on its Web page and issues reports, such as this new 10-part dossier.

American Congress for truth, an awareness organization with its spin-off group the Act for America organization is an active member group with chapters all over the country. While The American Congress for Truth keeps their people informed, the Act for America is a whistle blower member organization that keeps various government agencies informed about what Cair and other Islamic groups are doing in their local area.

There is one non-profit, Anti-CAIR, founded by Andrew Whitehead, which devotes all of its energies to exposing what it considers CAIR's shady practices. It was Anti-CAIR that publicized the fact that a link on CAIR's website soliciting donations for New York firefighters actually took contributors to the home page for Holy Land--the accused backer of Hamas.

National security analyst Daniel Pipes regularly blogs about radical Islam and CAIR.
And the Center for Security Policy, headed by former Reagan administration official Frank Gaffney, has produced a lengthy, yet-to-be-released analysis of how CAIR
functions in America. The paper depicts CAIR as a secretive group that excludes secular, pro-American Muslims.

"CAIR has opposed efforts by the U.S. government to rid the country of terrorist activity on the grounds that civil rights might be violated, and routinely urges its constituency to challenge government authority," the center's report states. "They are certainly not a civil rights group as we understand it,” said Alex Alexiev, the center's vice president for research. “They have transformed into a fifth column, infiltrating and establishing themselves in our society, politics, governments. It's a lot more than just a funding mechanism.” Moreover since when is it a civil right to be involved in a conspiracy to commit terrorism in the U.S.?

"Their objective is to legitimize themselves as the representative of Muslims and drive the Islamic agenda," he said. "It is essentially a fifth column. Unfortunately a lot of people bite, including people in law enforcement, the media. Unfortunately, our media and our government is just clueless. They are willing to believe these people because they are anti-Bush."

CAIR’s Weapon against Critics: Is lawsuits
As its critics increased following the 9/11 attacks, CAIR went on the offensive by suing people. Anyone who dares to criticize them, the sad truth is that they have been successful. "CAIR has been turning to courts in the United States and Canada to silence its critics," writes Pipes, a Middle East expert whose books include, "Militant Islam Reaches America." He calls the suits "legal jihad." He has documented over a half-dozen such lawsuits or threats of legal action.

They have threatened people’s lives including my own. Robert Spencer an out spoken author on the truth about Islam lives in seclusion and under guard. Michael Savage an outspoken radio talk show host is being sued by CAIR.

CAIR sued former North Carolina congressman Cass Ballenger, after he accused the group of being a fund-raising arm of the Lebanese-based terrorist organization, Hezbollah, and could blow up the Capitol..

This year, CAIR went after another congressman, Rep. Steve King, Iowa Republican. CAIR called King "bigoted" after he predicted al Qaeda would be "dancing in the streets" if a U.S. president with the name of "Hussein," a common Muslim moniker, was elected U.S. president. It was a reference to Sen. Barack Hussein Obama.

CAIR has joined forces with liberal activists, such as the American Civil Liberties Union, which has sued the Bush administration over its war-on-terror policies. CAIR calls activists such as Pipes and Emerson "Islamophobes."

CAIR's spokesman Rehab defends the group's right to sue critics, saying, "We assert the rights of our critics to say what they think.” (Now this shows how the tunnel vision, totally one way selfish mind of the Muslim works) “ However, we are equally allowed to express our opinions. Free speech is a two-way street.” (Oh Yeah) “When our critics make allegations that cross the line into defamation or other areas that deserve a legal challenge, we may choose to file a lawsuit. This is simply working within the existing American system to redress grievances. It is not a system we are inventing. As far as intent, it is not to intimidate, but rather to protect our rights."

According to CAIR Islam is the only one with freedom of speech, especially in America.
Funding: CAIR avooids discussing its source of funds.
“CAIR’ says its operating budget is around $2.25 million,” said Rehab. “Like other non-profit groups, CAIR does not publicize the names of individual donors. CAIR follows best governance practices and makes its financial audits public.”

According to the IPT report, CAIR has stated it receives no "support from any overseas group or government." But IPT research shows it has gotten money from two Saudi Arabia-funded organizations--the World Assembly of Muslim Youth (WAMY) and the International Islamic Relief Organization (IIRO). U.S. agents have raided their U.S. offices to investigate links to terror groups.

The IPT says, "CAIR received $500,000 from a Saudi prince in 2002 and, in 1999, $250,000 from a Saudi-based bank currently headed by the former director of the Muslim World League (MWL), a Muslim charity identified by Osama bin Laden as a primary source of Al Qaeda’s funds. MWL’s U.S. office has been raided by federal terrorism investigators."

THE BOTTOM LINE: If one didn’t know any better, one would think that what Muslim terrorist organizations have been able to accomplish in this country is magical. They deceive most of the public, they deceive the government, they deceive juries, and they deceive the media. One might just say that this deception is almost magical; yes one might just say that. Moreover if one might say that, one might just…be right.

Don’t forget, America has been intimidated by Islam for more than two hundred years. Yes, since we fought the Muslim Pirates of Tripoli. Even though a couple of our historical Presidents understood the relentless never-ending agenda of Islam, it has since been forgotten.

But don’t feel too bad, it also took the Crusaders 300 years to realize that they were not going to change the direction if Islam. We still have a hundred years to go yet. Although I don’t hold out much hope, you see we actually have an advantage that the Crusaders did not have, we have the information, the history, the documented history that the Crusaders didn’t have. However we are still at one disadvantage…

We can’t read

Oh well, Islam will still give us freedom of choice, we will have the choice to convert to Islam, or subject ourselves as slaves to Islam, or to be beheaded. Come on! You couldn’t ask your enemy for any better choices than that, could you?

Or, you could make the choice now, to fight… Choose the fourth choice and Join Act for America now.
