The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case -- so named by the Justice Department. CAIR operatives have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR's cofounder and longtime Board chairman, as well as its chief spokesman, have made Islamic supremacist statements.
Florida law enforcement officials should have shunned this unsavory group. Instead, they let them supervise their investigation. Is it any surprise, then, that the FDLE found no evidence of abuse?
"Terror front CAIR supervised police interview of Rifqa Bary's parents on abuse allegations," from the Jawa Report, September 14:
A report by the Florida Dept of Law Enforcement (FDLE) that has been sealed by the court investigating the Rifqa Bary abuse and honor killing allegations is set to be released today. While the report is still sealed, we can report based on law enforcement sources who have read the report that the FDLE interview of Rifqa's parents was supervised by Hamas front organization, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). According to my sources, this is what the report says:
"FDLE/DCF Investigators were accompanied to the Bary residence by Sgt. John Hurst of the Columbus P.D. Child Abuse Squad. The residence is located in an apartment complex. Mr. Babak Darvish, Executive Director of the Council for American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Columbus and Mr. Romin Iqbal, Staff Attorney for CAIR OHIO were present. Investigators interviewed Mr. Bary in a non-custodial setting."
What makes this decision by FDLE and the FL Dept of Children and Families to allow CAIR - who is not a party to the legal dispute and has not notified the court that they are representing the Barys in any legal capacity - is that FDLE/DCF conducted a three and a half hour interrogation of Rifqa, the victim in this case, without her attorney and guardian ad litem being present. We reported on that revelation 10 days ago....
CAIR's bloody fingerprints have been all over this case while they have remained behind the scenes. As we noted on August 21st, a source who attended a CAIR strategy session on the Rifqa case had stated that CAIR intended to push the story that Rifqa had been abducted and brainwashed by a Christian cult.
Florida Gov. Charlie Crist ought to be ashamed to allow his FDLE and DCF goons behave in such an unprofessional and grossly political manner. Crist has clearly endorsed FDLE/DCF's conduct all in order to whitewash this investigation and send Rifqa back to her family and place her back in harm's way to placate the gods of political correctness and to avoid jeopardizing his US Senate race next year. Here's the contact information for Crist and DCF if you would like to tell them what you think about their handling of this case:Governor Charlie Crist's office: Phone: (850) 488-4441, (850) 488-7146

If Rifqa is returned, it is a death sentence and unlike previous Dishonor Killings, it will be a stain on the government.
Didn't someone, somewhere, sometime write: Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness?
Here's received response from earlier sent message:
Thank you for contacting Governor Charlie Crist and sharing your
concerns about Ms. Fathima (Rifqa) Bary. The Governor asked that I
respond on his behalf.
Governor Crist is committed to protecting Ms. Bary's health, safety and
welfare. Governor Crist directed the Secretary of the Department of
Children and Families, George Sheldon, to petition the court for
placement in shelter and custody under the Florida Department of
Children and Family Services (Department). As a result, the court
placed Ms. Bary in protective custody and she is now in a licensed
foster care home under the supervision of the Department.
The Secretary of the Department of Children and Family Services and the
Governor's General Counsel represented the Governor at a court hearing
on August 21 to determine Rifqa's status. The judge left Rifqa in her
Florida foster home until the next hearing in September. Following the
judge's ruling, Governor Crist issued the following statement:
"I am grateful to Circuit Judge Daniel Dawson for his decision to grant
Fathima Rifqa Bary the right to remain in Florida. The first and only
priority of my administration in this case, is the safety and wellbeing
of this child. I am grateful for the good work of Department of
Children and Families Secretary George Sheldon and my General Counsel,
Rob Wheeler, for personally advocating the administration's position by
attending today's hearing. We will continue to fight to protect Rifqa's
safety and wellbeing as we move forward."
On September 3, Judge Dawson ordered Ms. Bary and her parents to enter
into mediation in the hope of resolving the dispute. If the family is
unable to agree through mediation, another hearing has been scheduled
for September 29.
Thank you again for taking the time to contact Governor Crist.
Sincerely,
Warren Davis
