CAIR Identified by the FBI as part of the Muslim Brotherhood's Palestine Committee

More trouble for those moderate bullies over at CAIR. From The Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) (thanks to all who sent this in):

Dallas--In testimony Tuesday, FBI Agent Lara Burns reported before the jury in the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) trial that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) was listed as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee, right alongside HLF, the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), and the United Association for Studies and Research (UASR). Agent Burns further testified that CAIR received money from HLF - a claim that Nihad Awad blatantly denied in a congressional testimony in September of 2003.
Burns also said that both Omar Ahmed and Nihad Awad, CAIR co-founders who today serve as CAIR’s chairman emeritus and executive director, respectively, were also listed as individual members the Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee in America.

Awad and Ahmed are further connected to the Palestine Committee based on their positions as president and public relations director of the IAP, a Hamas front group that was responsible for the dissemination of propaganda, and has since been closed down as a result of a multi-million dollar civil judgment in a trial involving the murder of an American teenager by HAMAS terrorists.

CAIR, which touts itself as America’s premier Muslim civil rights organization, was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the trial. Burns’ testimony so far has placed both Ahmed and Awad at a 1993 Philadelphia meeting where the HAMAS members and supporters discussed a strategy to kill the Oslo Peace Accords, which threatened to marginalize HAMAS. The group also discussed ways to improve HAMAS fundraising in America.

What's the best possible outcome of this?

Is it possible that CAIR can be outlawed as a terrorist organization?

As CAIRs future grows dimmer and dimmer, Mr. Hooper needs a viable backup plan. I heard that Your Black Muslim Bakery is hiring again. Over there he'll be known as Mean Bean Ibrahim.

What will it take to have this evil, criminal organization disgraced and disbanded ?

...this was written long ago, but it shows some people knew the truth....

"SERIOUS FLAWS IN THE OSLO AGREEMENT

The most fundamental flaw is the renunciation of Jewish claims to Judea, Samaria, and Gaza. The right of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel cannot be renounced by a transitory Israeli government. The present government has no right to deprive future generations of Jews and Israelis of their legal patrimony.

Yasir Arafat's PLO is incapable of providing Israelis with the cessation of violence they so dearly crave. There are ten rejectionist PLO factions plus Hamas and other Islamic fundamentalist factions that will continue to kill Jews.

Without the presence of Israel's internal security force (Shin Bet) inside Judea, Samaria and Gaza, it will be impossible to halt terrorism or even keep it within present levels. The Israel Defense Forces maintain tremendous power but are of little importance in day-to-day terrorism.

Arafat's signature on the agreement and the PLO acceptance is of no consequence as Arafat is a documented liar. Muslims are permitted to lie to to non-Muslims and break agreements with them under the Koranic law of HUDAIBIYA. Treaties and contracts with them are worthless.

By virtue of this agreement, the Israeli government has validated Arab claims to the Land of Israel. Decades of fighting Arab propaganda and distortions of history are trivialized and discounted.

This agreement puts the status of Jerusalem on the negotiating table. Every previous government of Israel steadfastly stood by the principle of Jerusalem being non-negotiable.

All of Israel's military and civilian communications will now be easily monitored from the hills of Judea and Samaria.

While Israeli radar and military installations are not affected by this current agreement, the future is less certain. Eventually the Arab population will force the Israelis out.

Whether they admit it publicly or not, Israeli leaders know that this is the first step to a Palestinian state.

The "Palestinian right of return" has been acknowledged for the first time by the Israelis and could result in a flood of Arabs to Judea and Samaria.

The inevitable increase in Arab population will result in tremendous pressure on Israel's water supply. As Arab wells are dug in the Judean and Samarian hills, the natural mountain aquifer that supplies much of Tel Aviv and the coastal plain with water will be serious depleted. Such depletion will cause the salt water of the Mediterranean Sea to penetrate Israel's coastal strip, thus destroying all water supplies. This process can be witnessed in California, where sea water has already penetrated five miles into the coast.

Some 70% of Israel's population and industry is concentrated in a small strip of coast and greater Tel Aviv. That population will be immediately threatened by Kaytusha rockets. Fired singly from the hills of Judea and Samaria, and set with timers they will be virtually impossible to stop. The Israeli government plan to coordinate with the Palestinian police is akin to working with the fox to guard the henhouse. The Palestinian police are being recruited from among the terrorists who delight especially in murder and mutilation of bodies. Will they arrest and turn over a terrorist who kills Israelis and then escapes to Gaza?

The Jewish residents of Judea, Samaria, and Gaza will no doubt be victims of ethnic cleansing. The Arabs will insist on a Jew-free country like Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait. The government has already begun confiscating the weapons of Jews, which could cause them to become vulnerable to massacre like the Bosnians.

The air and seaports planned for Gaza will facilitate the entry of weapons and terrorists, threatening the security of Israel.

The proposed "safe passages" for the PA will facilitate the movement of terrorists and weapons from Gaza to Judea and Samaria.

From the article:

In the Aug. 2, 1995 call, Abu Bakr and Elashi discuss a Dallas Morning News editorial concerning U.S. plans to extradite Hamas political leader Musa Abu Marzook, who had been arrested while entering the country at John F. Kennedy airport in New York on an Israeli request that he face murder charges there.

Elashi reads from the editorial, which called for Marzook to be deported, but not to Israel. To release him, the editorial said, would send a message that America offers refuge to terrorists. According to a government transcript of the call, Elashi invokes Emerson's name after the editorial: "Sadly, Arab and Islamic organizations in America are perceiving the action against Mr. Marzook as 'anti-Islam' and 'anti-Arab.'"

"He says 'sadly,'" Elashi repeats. "Doesn't that bring you to Steven Emerson?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah," Abu Bakr responds. "Don't be surprised if Steven Emerson is the one who wrote it."

Elashi also expresses concern that the Morning News "is referring to us in a way or another" when it mentions the FBI has noted terrorist cells were operating in North Texas.

No wonder CAIR was created. The rock was already starting to be pulled back and they couldn't risk exposure. Hence, Ibrahim Hooper's group, comin' atcha'. The more he whines, the more Americans squirm and feel uncomfortable, questioning and doubting ourselves.

Enough. The tables are being turned. Persistent, relentless, endless application of the truth. Let's keep it up.

WE ARE THE MANY, THEY ARE THE FEW!.

Western governments will not confront Islam for fear of the ‘Muslim Backlash’.

However,

concerned activists from different European nations are organising a rally outside the building of the European Parliament in Brussels on the afternoon of Tuesday 11th September from 1pm in protest against the spreading influence of Sharia Law across the continent.

Plans are being made for similar events in other European cities (and across the world) in the near future.

Your participation and support will ensure that western governments have more to fear from the anger of their own citizens.

If the information is there that places CAIR in the position of fundraising for Hamas, then ban the organization.

And if the organization is not banned but the evidence exists, then arrest someone in this administration for aiding the enemy.

infidel1975 | August 9, 2007 3:04 PM

Hopefully the Bush adminstration will get a clue and kick CAIR and all of their ilk out of this country. CAIR is the modern day version of nazi 'ss' troops and the west should be vary wary. The islamofacists of today will not stop until thye have total world domination.

cair is a cancer that needs to be destroyed, before it infects everything.

jcom972 | August 9, 2007 7:44 PM

No surprise here...this just proved the skeptics right...there's been interference all along since day 1, and continues to this day.
CAIR is a terrorist organization, which serves terrorist media and PR everywhere, and it's leader knows it as much as we rational people do, too.
They're not kidding anyone...where it counts, that is.

I disagree, infidel. (Ooo...I love the rring to that..) CAIR is today's version of The German American Bund.
