Jeb Bush sends letter of support to CAIR

Will somebody please tell these politicians what CAIR really supports? CAIR will use this dhimmitude as pr against Western civilization.

GROAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will somebody please tell these politicians what CAIR really supports? This dhimmitude will be used as pr against Western civilization.

CAIR should, as a kind return, should dennounce all forms of violent Jihad and assure America that they are doing all they can to ensure that this form of Islam is never fostered within its borders...

Okay, I am done holding my breath.

Moose

Keep the heat up on the shameless bastards! The polit-props are just prostitutes hoping for a tip or a handout for the next election!

How can we allow them to walk among us freely as if nothing ever happened? They are the enemy! The audacity is mindboggling: A fundraiser banquet to open another office?
They get enough funding from the Saudis, why would they need it? This whole thing is bizarre...

I feel sick when i realize that the Bush family may after all be close to the picture painted by Michael Moore.
The events of the last two weeks in relation to Israel and now this.
it can not be put down to mere ignorance or stupidity.
perhaps the saudi princes were not just boasting whem they claimed america was in their pocket

Is it possible that a secretary wrote the niceties for the governor without consultation? Yes it is possible, but likely not though it happens in big Government offices all the time. I still believe that President Bush,Secretary of State Condi Rice, Colin Powell, ETC. have kept up the peacefull coexisting dialogues among muslims in an effort to not polarize the entire umma at this time in history. But eventually all of these politicians may have to take a good look at the trees in the forest and see if they can spot the quacking duck.

Jeb my stupid governor....stupid on Islam that is. Same as his brother. Good wishes to CAIR means they classify you as stupid groveling dhimmi. Ecumenicism is never reciprocated by the so called Ummah. Neither are selfless good deeds like the Indonesian Tsunami relief. The Arab oil producers did ZERO for the fellow Muslims hit by tsunami.

The Bush family continues it's groveling before it's Saudi masters. The "war on terrorism" will never be won unless this country is prepared to do battle against Whahabbism. However, given the Bush family's close ties with these murderous barbarians, given Saudi control of the State Department and Saudi influence over the New York Times, Washington Post and other media, as well as Saudi control of the Middle East departments at Universities throughout the world, I expect the appeasement will continue.

Jeb my stupid governor and GW my stupid president make me sick today. This is a tipping point. I do see them, the State Department, and the United States government groveling.

Unfortunately most Americans don't recognize the signs, seeing their behavior as a positive effort to get along and to create peace in the Middle East. Just a little bit of information would be all that it takes to the open their eyes...

Ah yes, Jeb Bush, our next president. Learning the ropes of dhimmitude. Such foolishness. The only thing I am sure of is that Jeb Bush will not get my vote. The Bush dynasty will end and they can grovel and crawl to their Muslim masters all they want. What a stupid bunch of politicians.

Good post, Robert. Vividly portrays the disconnect between Jeb Bush's magnanimity and understanding of Islam. Perhaps he is just following in John Paul II's footsteps, and this is somehow his Qur'an-kissing equivalent.

sheessh To think I once held dreams of ol'Jeb succeeding Dubya in the white house in '09.

No way can the leaders be ignorant of islam's goals. If we know what we do, they have to have had at least a modest education on islam. Just reading a few pages will open your eyes. Conspiracy anyone?

Just when I thought no one could possibly be as careless as President George Gump, along comes his dumbass brother.

This love fest the Gump family has with the Saudi crminals and their puppets is sickening. All we can do is to keep punching and kicking, and when election time comes around, they should be ousted.

Our government needs no more oil men, and the ones there should be booted.

Jeb my stupid governor and GW my stupid president make me sick today. This is a tipping point. I do see them, the State Department, and the United States government groveling.

Ditto, epg.

Left to their own devices, these guys are going to kill us. They are the products of today's education system, with all its love of "diversity," "multiculturalism," "moral equivalency," etc.

Still, the Great American Subconscious is alive and well, and we must place our hope in it. By that, I mean the residuum of the thinking of an era when we knew and respected the philosophy of the Enlightenment. It prevailed until around the mid-1800s in this country, and then, primarily under the influence of Kant, Hegel, and Marx, began to fade. The last nail in the Enlightenment coffin occurred with the establishment of the government-run school system, which spread the post-modern (the common name for "post-Enlightenment") philosophy that led to PC and all the rest.

The startling success of the Postmodernists notwithstanding, the Enlightenment still strongly influences about half of us, even those who have never heard of it. Most of the posters here, both American and foreign, are among those who respond to the kind of thinking that the designers of the United States used when they created this country, and it is upon them we must depend to understand and win this conflict.

We will win, however hobbled we may have become due to the dumbing down we have experienced at the hands of our philosophical enemies. I look at this website and the posters here, I look at the explosion of similarly oriented blogs and websites, many of them owned by posters here, I look at the growth of organizations such as the Minuteman Project and the growing support for it, and I become less and less concerned about the ignorance of our politicians.

I am confident that when push comes to shove, we will elect politicians of a different ilk.

Now I know what JEB stands for:

Jihad Enabler Bush.

And I thought his brother was a 15 watt bulb when it came to understanding Imperialistic Islam.

I guess Florida's head is as empty as the sinkholes popping up there every week.

I'll see if I can email his office this link:

http://www.cairforterrorists.blogspot.com

There's also a useful hyperlink at the bottom of its page that tells more about CAIR.

Don't rule out the possibility that politicians like Jeb Bush are actually being very clever and savvy, giving the Muslims a dose of their own double-faced medicine: a smiling face in public to the Muslims, but continuing support of law enforcement & intelligence tactics against them behind the scenes.

All in the Family.

Maybe we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.

Even an FDR, who signed the eminently rational order to inter Japanese-Americans during WWII.

These weasels at CAIR remind me of how
paranna hunt their prey when you feed them goldfish,if you have an aquarium with
pet paranna you'll know what I mean.

The paranna ignore the newly arriving goldfish/dinner,to save energy the paranna
bide their time and earn the trust of their dinner,once dinner has relaxed and feels safe
to roam around the tank the paranna waits
until it's in position to attack from the
rear of the goldfish.
Using hydrallics,the paranna pops the jaws open
and sucking in the surrounding fluid which
draws in the dinner,they then quickly slam shut
and remove the tailfin to slow down the escape,the next move repeats but this time
the protien rich body gets removed from the head
just after the gills.

As I witnessed on many feedings while at a friends house that had paranna,the goldfish
head fell to the bottom of the tank and kept
pumping water through the gills while in shock
of the sudden betrail by this trusted partner in the tank.
I don't doubt that the plan by militant
Muslims in America is to earn the trust of Politicians and invite them into their
Tank to swim around and feel safe,once lulled to sleep with this false security the next step will be to have a suicide bomber come in the tank
and slaughter all the Politicians in the tank.
Their heads will be on the floors of their Tanks and the brain slowly dies as it struggles to continue working while the life-blood
stops flowing.

Sound familiar,the 9/11 attack was the same
way,the planes hit the spot that trapped
the people from fleeing,the last step was the
heads of the Towers to fall to the ground
as people looked on in shock that Muslims that were allowed to swim in our Tank with no fear of harm had then turned against us and tried to consume our life-blood to nurture them
in their effort to grow stronger and kill bigger fish.


Don't get me wrong,I trust all Muslims,but they're at the bottom of all the things I do trust
and will have to wait in line to earn trust
from me that they aren't a paranna and really just another goldfish with a huge jaw and razor sharp teeth from a birth defect.

CAIR beats the drum loudly while pulling our attention away from quiet groups such as the Muslim American Society that are more sinister and effective because they seem benign.

Make that link for the Muslim American Society benign

Sorry about that.

That's because Raritan Township Mayor Peter Kinsella said he disagrees with the philosophy espoused by one of the organizations backing the formation of the commission.
Kinsella objects to the Council on American-Islamic Relations' involvement in the movement and suggests the state "do a better job" of selecting an advocacy group with which to align itself.
"They are a lobbying group intent on promoting differences between cultural groups, in a negative manner, to serve their own agenda," Kinsella said in a prepared statement released in response to a state request for a resolution supporting the creation of the commission. "They have exhibited an anti-U.S. attitude in the war on terror."
….
Specifically, Kinsella takes issue with comments he claimed have been attributed to the organization characterizing the convictions of the people involved in the first World Trade Center bombings a "travesty of justice," and the conviction of Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman, now serving a life sentence in the United States for directing a conspiracy to bomb New York landmarks, a "hate crime."
Kinsella said the state -- "in its never-ending quest to be perceived as politically correct" -- should "do a better job" selecting proponents of causes to which it aspires. ]

For its part, CAIR is an organization notorious for threatening frivolous libel suits against journalists who have written about its unsavory politics. This would include its support for the terrorist organization Hamas, its Saudi funding, its Wahhabist politics and the fact that three of its top executives have been arrested for terrorist activities. Sometimes libel suits are necessary defenses against career damaging falsehoods. But the threat of libel can have a chilling effect when it is used promiscuously and frivolously, as CAIR does.

[Authors begin with reference to charges against CAIR Texas founder, Ghassen Elashi (later convicted), and his brothers:

CAIR's passionate defense of the Elashis is no coincidence. In fact, the incestuous connections between CAIR, the Elashi family, and two key players in Hamas's U.S. network, the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) and the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), are well-established. One of the Elashi brothers, Ghassan, even helped found IAP and CAIR branch offices in addition to serving as HLF national chairman.

The IAP/HLF nexus ultimately leads back to Musa Abu Marzook, who is married to the Elashis’ cousin and who was himself indicted in Chicago in August 2004 for conspiring to finance Hamas. Although he currently lives in Damascus—where he serves as Hamas’s deputy political chief—Marzook spent over a decade in the U.S. and was instrumental in building Hamas’s American network.

….

These dizzying connections were solidified in Philadelphia’s Marriot hotel in October 1993 when—under the watchful eye of an FBI surveillance team—Ghassan Elashi, future CAIR Chairman Omar Ahmad and leadership from IAP, HLF, and Hamas came together to plot the direction of Hamas’s U.S. network and develop a strategy to defeat the Oslo peace accords.

Tellingly, just a few months after the Philadelphia meeting, CAIR's current Executive Director, Nihad Awad, stated, “I am in support of the Hamas movement” during a speech at Florida’s Barry University.

….

CAIR’s well-documented history of extremism is what makes this continued mainstream acceptance so troubling. For instance, just last April, former CAIR employee Randall “Ismail” Royer was sentenced to 20 years in prison for “participation in a network of militant jihadists centered in Northern Virginia,” according to the Department of Justice.
 
But a recent civil suit filed by the estate of 9/11 victim and former high-ranking FBI counter-terrorism agent John O’Neill, Sr. may have best described CAIR’s true agenda, stating: “their goal is to create as much self-doubt, hesitation, fear of name-calling, and litigation within police departments and intelligence agencies as possible so as to render such authorities ineffective in pursuing international and domestic terrorist entities.” ]

As federal officials firmly stood their ground following the incident, articles in the press decrying the controversy and publicizing CAIR’s demands for an investigation continued throughout January. In early February, DOJ officials promised to meet, within the next two months, with members of the Western New York Chapter of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) to hear their concerns over the incident. ??This sequence of events gives an all-too-familiar insight into the political strategy of radical Islamist groups. First, CAIR or another of its Islamist kin complains loudly to the media regarding an alleged violation of civil rights. Sympathetic media outlets then report the claims, with little scrutiny of who is making them and why. Federal agencies, anxious to avoid embarrassment over the contentious issue of civil liberties, then agree to meet with the leaders of these groups, who air concerns and offer policy advice that would supposedly make the War on Terror more amenable to the American Muslims they claim to represent. ??It is a pattern that has been used repeatedly by Islamists to gain access to policymakers at all levels of government. In 1997, CAIR’s executive director, Nihad Awad, was appointed by Bill Clinton to the civil rights advisory panel to the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security. Since 9/11, the Council has met with the FBI director, the secretary of transportation, and officials from the White House, State Department and Department of Justice.??Unfortunately, CAIR and other Islamist groups seeking to affect changes in U.S. anti-terrorism policy are inextricably linked to the very terrorist network that U.S. officials are trying to disrupt.

Since September 11, 2001, for example, no fewer than three CAIR officials – Randall Todd Royer, Ghassan Elashi and Bassem Khafagi – have been found guilty on charges related to major counterterrorism investigations. Royer, a former communications specialist with CAIR, was charged with providing material support to al-Qaeda. Nihad Awad has stated, “I am in support of the Hamas movement.” Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper has defended Saudi financial aid given to families of suicide bombers. At a congressional hearing marking the second anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Senator Richard Durbin stated that CAIR is “unusual in its extreme rhetoric and its associations with groups that are suspect.”] ?

… So here we have CAIR, representing a religion that has the presentation of proof as a tenet in its holy book telling me that what is acceptable to the majority must take precedence to truth. Or that the voice of the minority must not be heard. No wonder democracy has such a problem being accepted into their interpretation of Islam although they may trumpet about Islam and democracy. I do not think their motives were sinister, but I see a big problem with their approach: it means that if the majority of Muslims think the Jews and Christians are misguided and evil, then they must advocate that. It is similar to their position on the woman's headcovering--which they present as "the Islamic position."??They prefer historical amnesia, I think, because whatever makes the Muslims look good (and non-Muslims look bad) is taken as sacred.As I was told when I said that there cannot be two positions of truth on the matter, "...in many cases it matters not which one is right.”
….
… I had hoped that CAIR would have truly sought to work for a reform within Islam, and do so through the presentation of truth. I sought to aid this by letting them know that any talk of harmonious interaction with Jews, Christians and others can only be genuine when we Muslims are genuine. And this means questioning, probing, admitting that we have misrepresented history, sometimes blatantly seeking to revise the past. So, painfully, I must say that since integrity and truth are inextricably interwoven, and as shown in this, that CAIR is not willing to admit the truth, then, integrity cannot be expected from them.]??

He refused, explaining, “It’s not our job to go around denouncing.” Asked a similar question about Hamas and Hezbollah by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in February 2002, CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper called such queries a “game” and added, “We’re not in the business of condemning.”

CAIR should be helping Muslims to become part of the “American Fabric,” to co-operate, and integrate into our society. Instead, CAIR pushes Muslims into a kind of emotional helplessness, trying to force upon them the unpleasant gratification of feeling themselves victims, and then filling them with a sort of lurking, sardonic consciousness that the “victim” is stronger than the “victimizer.” In the end they want the victims to pull down their victimizer like a pack of hyenas on an unwary lion… America. The victimization by America, however, is false. The real victimizer is CAIR itself. Expose their Wahabbi Saudi backed agenda. Muslims are not in danger from or in America.

Nawash's agenda has gotten the support of Ahmed Subhy Mansour, an Egyptian-born political refugee and a noted Islamic scholar once jailed in Egypt for defending moderate Islamic causes. The former Harvard visiting fellow is now based in Northern Virginia and has joined the Free Muslims advisory board. "Kamal is very concerned about terrorism," says Mansour. "We have the same ideas. . . . We believe in human rights and free speech for everyone."
Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a prominent civil rights and advocacy group based in Washington, bridles at Nawash's characterization of CAIR and other Muslim American organizations as doing practically nothing to denounce terrorism. Hooper lists dozens of anti-terror actions, from a small rally held in Dallas in October 2001 to condemning specific acts as they've occurred.
"The American Muslim community has consistently condemned terrorists both before and after 9/11, but unfortunately that's one of the criticisms we have the most -- that we haven't done enough -- and it just isn't true," Hooper says.
Backlash
In last Sunday's MuslimWakeUp!, an online Muslim newspaper, an article titled "New Muslim Groups: The Ugly, the Bad and the Good" castigated the Free Muslims as "the ugly" and called Nawash's charge that mainstream Muslim organizations haven't spoken out against terrorism "a damned and odious lie."
The author is Hussein Ibish, spokesman for the Progressive Muslim Union of North America, and onetime colleague of Nawash at the anti-discrimination committee.
During Nawash's state Senate campaign, Ibish called him "a hard-working and patriotic American" just to be "vaguely supportive," he says. "No one really had any problems with him until he decided to launch a campaign within the community in the guise of being the only one to be against terrorism."
….
Told of his critic's attacks, Nawash says it is "certainly not surprising. . . . They hate us now more than they hate the biggest enemies of Islam. They despise us because we're the biggest danger to them. They had a total monopoly over what Islam was and now we are providing an alternative to Muslims. . . . Everyone sees that most of the terrorism in the world is done by Muslims. I mean, people are cutting people's heads off while reading the Koran! When are they going to realize we have a problem? When are they going to speak up against it?"]

[Filing on 30 December 2004 of class action lawsuit in the name of John P. O'Neill, Sr., a victim of 9/11, against CAIR, CAIR-CAN and others. According to Pipes, amended pleading reads:
86. Council on American Islamic Relations and CAIR Canada (collectively, CAIR), have aided, abetted, and materially sponsored and al Qaeda and international terrorism. CAIR is an outgrowth of the Hamas front group the Islamic Association of Palestine. The FBI's former associate director in charge of Investigative and Counter-Intelligence Operations described the Islamic Association of Palestine as an organization that has directly supported Hamas military goals and is a front organization for Hamas that engages in propaganda for Islamic militants. It has produced videotapes that are very hate-filled, full of vehement propaganda. It is an organization that has supported direct confrontation.
87. CAIR and CAIR-Canada have, since their inception, been part of the criminal conspiracy of radical Islamic terrorism. These organizations play a unique role in the terrorist network. They emanate from the notorious HAMAS terrorist organization and like so many of the terrorism facilitating charities named and indicted by the United States government they are engaged in fund raising under the guise of assisting humanitarian causes they are, in reality, a key player in international terrorism. The unique role played by CAIR and CAIR-Canada is to manipulate the legal systems of the United States and Canada in a manner that allows them to silence critics, analysts, commentators, media organizations, and government officials by leveling false charges of discrimination, libel, slander and defamation. In addition, both organizations have actively sought to hamper governmental anti-terrorism efforts by direct propaganda activities aimed at police, first-responders, and intelligence agencies through so-called sensitivity training. Their goal is to create as much self-doubt, hesitation, fear of name-calling, and litigation within police departments and intelligence agencies as possible so as to render such authorities ineffective in pursuing international and domestic terrorist entities.
88. The role of CAIR and CAIR-Canada is to wage PSYOPS (psychological warfare) and disinformation activities on behalf of Whabbi-based [Wahhabi-based, DP] Islamic terrorists throughout North America. They are the intellectual "shock troops" of Islamic terrorism. In the years and months leading up to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 these organizations were very effective in helping to ensure that North American law enforcement and intelligence officials were sufficiently deaf, dumb, and blind to help pave the way for the attacks on the United States. The role played by these entities is an absolutely essential part of the mix of forces arrayed against the United States as they help soften-up targeted countries so as to facilitate and enhance the likelihood for a successful attack.]

[CAIR’s annual report, HYPERLINK "http://www.cair-net.org/asp/2005CivilRightsReport.pdf" Unequal Protection: The Status of Muslim Civil Rights in the United States 2005, claims – in Pipes’ and Chadha’s words – ““anti-Muslim hate crimes in the United States” has gone up dramatically: from 42 cases in 2002, to 93 cases in 2003, to 141 in 2004.” Article continues: “But CAIR is part of the HYPERLINK "http://www.insightmag.com/main.cfm?include=detail&storyid=258204" Wahhabi Lobby, so {…} we thought it a good idea to take a closer look at the report,” and this closer examination was said to disclose “a pattern of sloppiness, exaggeration, and distortion.” Examples are given of the report’s reliance on false claims (including counting as a hate crime a “victim’s” committing arson upon his own property), followed by this summary:
Of twenty “anti-Muslim hate crimes” in 2004 that CAIR describes, at least six are invalid – and further research could likely find problems with the other fourteen instances.
Nor is this the first unreliable CAIR report; earlier ones were just as bad. Speaking about the 1996 CAIR report, terrorism expert Steven Emerson noted in HYPERLINK "http://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/6453/emerson.html" \o "http://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/6453/emerson.html" congressional testimony that “a large proportion of the complaints have been found to be fabricated, manufactured, distorted or outside standard definitions of hate crimes.” The 1996 report included the arrest of Musa Abu Marzouk, a Hamas leader, HYPERLINK "http://dir.salon.com/news/letters/2001/10/01/cair/index.html" and the trial of Omar Abdul-Rahman, the blind sheikh and ringleader of the foiled “Day of Terror” plot to blow up New York City landmarks.
 
Even more absurdly, CAIR classified as an American hate crime the shooting of Ahmed Hamida in Jerusalem on February 26, 1996, as he fled after driving his car into a crowd of Israeli civilians, killing one and injuring twenty-three others. One wonders why the killing of a terrorist in Israel would be classified as an American issue; more of CAIR’s sloppiness?

Pipes and Chadha then assess the implications of CAIR’s allegedly sponsoring, and the mainstream media’s publishing, exaggerated hate-crime statistics:

Indeed, very little of what CAIR asserts checks out. CAIR’s significant inaccuracy has potentially great consequence. Note HYPERLINK "http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050517/ts_nm/religion_koran_bush_dc_3" what happened after Newsweek HYPERLINK "http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7693014/site/newsweek" \o "http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7693014/site/newsweek" reported in its May 9 {2005}issue that the Koran had been desecrated at the U.S. military prison in Guantánamo, Cuba. Protests raged in the Muslim world, including demonstrations that turned violent in Afghanistan and killed at least sixteen people. Newsweek eventually HYPERLINK "http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7857154/site/newsweek/" retracted the story but a bit late. Had things turned out otherwise, CAIR’s erroneous report could have provoked similar violence.
 
The staff at CAIR does not divulge to us its reasons for not retracting at least the provably false incidents embedded in its inflated “hate” figures, but we can think of two reasons: to scare its constituency, thereby raising more money; and to put the American public on the defensive, thereby winning more privileges for Islam, such as the 2000 U.S. Senate HYPERLINK "http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?r106:66:./temp/~r106Jq1wqk::" resolution inveighing against the “discrimination and harassment” suffered by the American Muslim community.
 
But why do journalists report the results of CAIR’s survey – as though it came from a source without a viewpoint bias, as though past studies had been reliable, HYPERLINK "http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/88" as though its polls are scientific, as though it has not been HYPERLINK "http://www.danielpipes.org/article/384" party to threats against an American Muslim dissident, and as though it has not HYPERLINK "http://www.danielpipes.org/article/1931" protected Osama bin Laden’s image, as though HYPERLINK "http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/32" five of CAIR’s staff and board members have not already been associated with terrorism, and as though it is not HYPERLINK "http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/394" named as a defendant in 9/11 terror lawsuit?
 
One wonders what it will take for old media to ignore CAIR’s unreliable research and instead start reporting  HYPERLINK "http://archive.salon.com/news/feature/2001/09/26/muslims/" the words of Steven Pomerantz, a former chief of the FBI's counterterrorism section, that CAIR's activities “effectively give aid to international terrorist groups.”]

Originally at Pakistan Today. [Sayyed is identified as president of the Council for Democracy and Tolerance, and Adjunct Fellow of the Hudson Institute:
Spearheading this psychological war against the U.S. was Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). CAIR, to many Muslims is a front for the Arab terrorist groups like HAMAS and Hezbollah. The fact that CAIR has never condemned HAMAS and Hezbollah leadership or the imams who defy Quraa'n's teachings by preparing young and innocent Muslims to become homicide bombers, supported this impression.
CAIR that is always on the lookout for an opening to condemn U.S. policies, has never used its influence to condemn Al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, Aiman al Zwahiri and their ilk. CAIR has never used its control over the hearts and minds of the American Muslims to refute the Muslim belief that the United States of America's war on terror is not a crusade against Islam. Instead it demanded of the American Muslims to oppose the war against Saddam Hussein and Taliban.
….
Free Muslims are convinced that the CAIR controlled Muslims are mad at Bush because he did not allow the Islamists to control or guide his foreign and domestic policies. Here too, like in France, Islamists want to use their growing numbers to control the United States of America's direction. CAIR, as the front of the radical Islam, wants to stop the U.S. administration from going after jihadi mentality. It wants Washington to support the homicide bombers and assist radical Islam in undermining the democratic societies like Israel. It wants Washington to applaud HAMAS and Hezbollah for their achievements in destroying the Middle East Road Map. And it wants the U.S. to become a society where non-Wahhabi Muslims and Jews are discriminated against and persecuted.]

The wannabe-epic is being panned for its lack of accuracy by a host of Islam experts, like HYPERLINK "http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=17893%20" Robert Spencer.  Crusades expert Jonathan Riley-Smith says it’s basically “Osama bin Laden’s version of History.”
But the folks at HAMAS-front group CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) and ADC (American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee) just love “Kingdom.”  That  speaks volumes, since both groups never met an Islamic terrorist group they didn’t like.
Perhaps Scott is doing penance for having the chutzpah to make “Black Hawk Down,” about which they still whine incessantly.]

At some website, or many, a list should be kept of everyone from Jeb Bush down who sent a letter of support to CAIR. And they should be permanently regarded as collaborators with a mortal enemy -- and treated accordingly, even if their letters were prompted by ignorance and stupidity, rather than something more sinister. This cannot continue. There must be no tolerance for this, from anyone involved.

I viewed this completely different from the liberal Bush haters. First of all, when there is a conference in a State, the Governor often writes a letter as a promotional courtesy. You could clearly see Charlie Crist politely declined his invitation to attend. Secondly, unfortunately we are stuck with the Saudi's until we find alternative sources for oil. But, the liberals keep finding ways to stop our drilling in Alaska. If we told the Saudi's to lick our ass, our country would shut down without the oil we need for trucking and flying goods around the country. While I am very much against Islam and furious with Saudi Arabia for promoting extremism, I have met a few Princes from the Al Saud family and they are quite westernized, have lived here for years and love this country. They drink alcohol, smoke and party up a storm. They are also afraid of being overthrown by the extremists in their own country. They put on one face for their people, and another while they're here, caught between and rock and a hard place. I'm sure as a Christian, President Bush feels the same as I do about Islam, but as a the leader of the free world, he must be polite and diplomatic. The only way to deal with terrorists is cut off their funding and kill them. And there has been a rumor going around in which the White House won't comment, is that Bush put the word out, if we are attacked again, we will nuke Mecca, and we haven't been attacked since. For all the Bush haters, we were attacked 6 times by Al Qaeda while Clinton was in office and all he did was drop a few bombs. If you elect Hillary in 2008, you will get more of the same, a big fat nothing. At least Bush is actively fighting terrorists, which is more than I can say for his predecesor. In 2004 the American people spoke and they believe Bush will do a better job of protecting them than a pacifist liberal.

And by the way, did you all know Jeb Bush is sort of a Big Brother for 2 teenage boys? One is autistic. He emails him regularly and takes him golfing when in the Tampa area. I think that's awfully nice. He also personally answers emails from constituents. I don't know any other Governor like that.

NOW will you guys finally admit the truth?

Oh yeah, Bonniea, that six month's supply of oil in Alaska would reeeally put a dent in the Saudi's bank account... until it went dry.

Of course, we COULD buy oil from Venezuela... oh wait. We can't do that, because they aren't Arabs.

Wake up, right-wing "Christians." You are being HAD.

What does this have to do with the price of eggs?

According to Sheik Palazzi of Italy, CAIR = Muslim Brotherhood via Hamas. See http://www.israpundit.com/archives/2005/05/an_israpundit_e.php for all of his comments, but particularly, he says the following:

IsraPundit: On May 14, 2005, World Net Daily published a story entitled, “State Dept. official to address Islam lobby”. The article quotes you as having stated,

"The Council for American-Islamic Relations is a Muslim Brotherhood front organization.”
Similarly, the article quotes Matthew Levitt, senior fellow in terrorism studies at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, as having stated:

“CAIR's pro-Hamas and pro-Hezbollah positions should not surprise, given that it regularly rises to the defense of terrorism suspects and openly supports designated terrorist groups.”
My question is this: what reliable documentation establishes the connection between CAIR on the one hand, and Hamas/Moslem Brotherhood on the other hand?

Sheikh Palazzi: First of all, one must fully understand the nature of the Muslim Brotherhood (al-Ikhwan). It is a secret organization inside which positions of leadership is inherited from father to son. From this point of view, it is similar to Mafia. It hates publicity, and no document actually proves its existence. Were one to look for the Constituent Act or for the Statutes of the Muslim Brotherhood, one would never be able to find them. Members of the organization in most of cases claim it simply does not exist, and if it exists they have never been in touch with it.

When contacts with al-Ikhwan are undeniable, its leaders say “I have been in touch with it when I was a University student”, or the like. In Britain there even exist a Web site of the Muslim Brotherhood,
http://www.ummah.org.uk/ikhwan/
and it bears the advice “The maintainer of this page is not a member of Al-Ikhwan patry [sic] and does not approve or agree with everything they say. This page is there for the soul perpose [sic] of answering the questions you always had and never knew who to ask. This page has no political perpose [sic] of any kind and no connection what so ever to any organization or institution.” This shows how members of the Muslim Brotherhood are ready to verbally deny their membership at the same moment that they engage in propaganda for it.

Notwithstanding this secrecy, experts know that the organization exists, is active, and is powerful through funds it receives from affluent Saudi princes. It does not operate in its own name, but under the name of its different local branches. In Israel it is called Hamas, in Italy it is called “Union of the Islamic Communities and Organizations in Italy (UCOII), while in North America it is divided into different sub-sections, such as AMSS (Association Of Muslim Social Scientists), CSID (Center for the Study of Islam and Democracy), IANA (Islamic Assembly of North America), ICNA (Islamic Circle of North America), ISNA (Islamic Society of North America), ICSC (Islamic Center of Southern California), IIIT (International Institute of Islamic Thought), IISS (Islamic Institute of Social Sciences), MAYA (Muslim Arab Youth Association), MPAC (Muslim Public Affairs Council), MYNA (Muslim Youth of North America), TINA (Tanzim-e Islami North America), UASR (United Association for Study and Research), WAMY (World Assembly of Muslim Youth), WISE (World and Islam Study Enterprise), while CAIR plays the role of coordinator of all of them.

CAIR is deeply related to Hamas from the very beginning, since it was founded in 1994 by militants of a pre-existing organization the Islamic Association for Palestine. The IAP itself was founded by Hamas leader Mousa Mohammed Abu Marzook. In 1996, the U.S. government deported Marzook, and CAIR vehemently protested.

One of CAIR's original advisory board members, Siraj Wahhaj, served as a character witness for Omar Abdel Rahman, the blind Egyptian cleric convicted in 1995 of conspiracy to bomb New York landmarks. CAIR described Rahman's conviction as a “hate crime”.

In 2003 the U.S. Congress hosted a hearing titled “Two Years After 9/11: Connecting the Dots”. CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad and Chairman Omar Ahmed were invited to testify at the hearing, but both declined to attend. In their absence the committee heard “compelling evidence that Saudi Arabia financially and ideologically supports a network of American organizations that act as the defenders, financiers, and front groups of international terrorists. CAIR has been a major player in this network since its creation in 1994, with a particularly soft spot for the suicide-bombing death squads of Hamas.” As a matter of fact, before being appointed as CAIR Executive Director, Mr. Awad was Public Relations Director for IAP, an organization which worked to collect funds for Hamas in the U.S. and even published the Hamas charter in English. Awad himself publicly declared, “I am in support of the Hamas movement” at a 1994 forum at Barry University in Florida.

Ismail Randall Todd Royer, a communications specialist at CAIR's Washington headquarters, pleaded guilty in January, 2004, to belonging to the Kashmiri Lashkar-e Taiba terrorist group and illegally acquiring firearms and explosives in order to train for terrorist missions against India. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

This is far from being an exception. In September, 2003, CAIR community relations director Bassem K. Khafagi, pleaded guilty on immigration and bank-fraud charges; in Detroit. Khafagi co-owned a print shop with another man who has since been charged with illegally sending goods into Iraq. In July, 2004, a founding member of CAIR's Texas chapter, Ghassen Elashi, was convicted of conspiracy and money-laundering charges in connection with the shipment of high-technology items to Syria and Libya. Before he become IAP's President, Rafeeq Jaber was a founding director of CAIR and a member of the board of the outlawed Holy Land Foundation, a “charity” collecting funds for Hamas in the U.S. Mohammed Nimer, who directs CAIR's Research Center, was on the board of the UASR, identified as a strategic arm of Hamas in the U.S.; in turn, the UASR was also founded by Hamas leader Marzook. Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR's Director of Communications, who also worked for the IAP. This shows how easy it is for the members of the Muslim Brotherhood to move from one position and from one organization into another section of the same network.

When New York Senator Chuck Schumer says that CAIR members have "intimate links to Hamas" he is totally right. Those links simply depend on their role as two different peripherical branches of the same secret terrorist organization, i.e. the Muslim Brotherhood.

'Oh yeah, Bonniea, that six month's supply of oil in Alaska would reeeally put a dent in the Saudi's bank account... until it went dry.'

Have you forgotten the numbers already, kj?

7% of the US needs for 10 years. Add that to the Canadian oil sands, which we should be purchasing even more of (and less of the SA's)....

Two of thhe Bushs have come out of the closet. How can we hope to win against the jihad with them in power?
