And true to form, this entire article doesn’t mention CAIR’s ties to Hamas, or its fascist pattern of trying to get any and every speaker canceled if he or she dares to speak the truth about jihad and Islamic terror. Shelby Webb doesn’t see fit to mention, and may not even know, that 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 (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Ibrahim Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements. Its California chapter distributed the poster above telling Muslims not to talk to the FBI. CAIR has opposed every anti-terror measure that has ever been proposed or implemented.
Note also their use of the term “extremist,” which is the same word they use of jihad terrorists — thus equating the resistance to jihad terror with jihad terror itself, a particularly repulsive exercise in moral equivalence that the mainstream media has accepted with alacrity.
“Islamic group accuses Republicans of fostering anti-Muslim sentiment,” by Shelby Webb, Herald Tribune, April 24, 2014:
A Florida Islamic group is accusing some Republican Party lawmakers and local party organizations of fostering anti-Muslim sentiment.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, sent letters to almost every Republican Club or party extension in the state, asking the groups to stop bringing speakers who espouse anti-Islamic views. The letter said it represented the interests of more than 150,000 registered Florida Muslim voters.
Hassan Shibly, executive director for CAIR, based in Tampa, said such speakers not only inflame anti-Islam tensions but have also led to discriminatory legislation: namely Senate Bill 386, which would ban foreign laws from being enacted in Florida; and House Bill 921, which allows school districts to select textbooks instead of adhering to the statewide curriculum.
Shibly said the textbook debate came about after a parent in Volusia County became uncomfortable with the number of pages in a history textbook that described Islam and organized a protest to persuade the school district to stop using the book. The Volusia School District noted that there are many more references to Christianity in the textbook than there are to Islam.
Shibly said the letters were only sent to Republican lawmakers and groups because Republicans drafted and support these two bills and because no other party has invited anti-Islam speakers to give presentations.
“Our office has documented a pattern of local GOP organizations inviting extremist anti-Muslim speakers who promote fear and hatred of the entire Muslim faith and community, often under the pretense of targeting ‘radicals,’ ” Shibly wrote in the letter.
Sen. Nancy Detert, who represents Sarasota County and part of Charlotte County, refused to comment on the two bills and the letter sent out by CAIR.
“Why should I care about a letter sent out by someone I know nothing about? Is that really worth a story?” Detert said….
You should know.

I am anti-Muslim and proud of it! If you practice the doctrine of evil, I’m against you. I hate Nazis, too. What is so wrong about opposing the actors of the Islamic or Nazi doctrines?
raylanfear says
CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood, two front organizations for terrorists and Hamas. Don’t be fooled. Never be afraid to speak up on the issue of the 21st Century, Islam. Just google “theprojectmuslimbrotherhood” their secret doctrine to destroy America from within by stealth jihad, lies and deception. Recently you have a Muslim congressman that took his oath and placed his hand on the Qur’an. Further comments here. http://wp.me/p2GpDB-dQ

“ The letter said it represented the interests of more than 150,000 registered Florida Muslim voters.”
Translation: do as we say or that’s less 150k+ votes for you the next elections. Isn’t that very akin to blackmail?

Actually this is exactly how things are supposed to work in a democracy. If Muslim orgs are [indirectly] letting politicians know how many votes are at stake, then it means that their leaders fully understand how democracy works.
If non-Muslims otoh take it for granted that the govt is only going to work for their best and that all they (non-Muslims) have to do is to spend their time watching TV, complaining about “corrupt pols”, or just plain show total apathy, then it means that they do NOT understand democracy.
And as the wise say “People only get the government they deserve”!
jihad3tracker says
Yes, we agree about how things are supposed to work in a democracy, but here is my point below, specifically on why such a complaint loses more than it wins :
Muslims of the grievance-mongering sort that CAIR loves are obviously never going to support freedom of religion, of speech, of gender equality.
Also vividly advertising such contra-liberty convictions are hijabs and beards, thus certifying a commitment to stay apart from Infidel Americans.
Accusing local Republican legislators — who count for very little nationally — of “fostering” blah blah blah just focuses a spotlight on this ultimately hostile goal.
Know Thy Enemy says
I do not disagree with your comment but the point of my post was that non-Muslims in the West (and in countries like India) need to study how democracy works and actively participate in it. Regarding Islam, they need to do their research and demand that Islam be treated the same way Nazism and Communism were in the US!
Please note that “To actively participate” does not simply mean going out to vote on election day; there is more involved to it. People need to do thorough research on politicians and parties, let the candidates know what they expect from them, and research the past performance of politicians (e.g. how well they kept their promises). Of course such active participation leaves much less time for watching TV and texting with friends, but then if we want a govt that actually does what we expect it to do, we will have to work for it.

You’re assuming a level playing field, which it definitely is NOT.
How many US politicians, judges and law enforcement entities are on the take to islam0nazis? FBI’ s ABSCAM had no problem finding corrupt senators willing to take bribes from faux Saudi sheikhs. It’s funny how such a successful sting operation was closed down.
Brian Hoff says
It isnot blackmail .Rep King from Long Island New York State ditrict was redraw in 2010 and the court redraw against him even more in 2012. He just barely won against than decrate woman who is unknow with very little money in her war chest while he is well know with ten of million in his war chest. His ditrict is make up of white who vote against the GOP, spanich speacking people and 1/3 of the people are entic people who are mostly muslim. He is ass kissing the muslim big time to win in 2014. The same King who held anti-muslim and anti-Islam hearing in Washington D.C..

Here is a shout-out greeting to :
Hassan Shibly, Nihad Awad, Corey Sailor, taqiyya-liar Rep Keith Ellison, sea urchin thug Nathan Lean, cowardly failed academic Reza Aslan, Saudi-corrupted Esposito —
They are my fave coterie of Muslims, but if any Allahists be accidentally omitted, I will include them next time. So sorry for the error.
This Florida-based zero value tactic becomes revealing media publicity on Islam’s operative policy.
Such brainlessness about simple strategy is why Jihadwatch should include CAIR in the top ten of “Useful Idiots”.
mortimer says
CAIR’s main purpose is prevent knowledge about jihad from reaching Americans.
CAIR believes AMERICANS CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH about jihad!
kikorikid says
CAIRs main purpose is to squelch and prevent anything
being said about Islam, anything. To say anything
is to Not be Shariah Compliant, It is to “Blaspheme”.
Punishable by death. CAIR wants very much to abrogate
our Right of Expression, it is a top priority item for them.

ACT for America and the other folks who are working hard at lobbying congress and senate and pushing “American Law For American Courts” and researching the Mohammedan infiltration and subversion of school textbooks, are getting some “runs on the board”.
And the mohammedans don’t like it.
Not one tiny little bit.
Up till now, they’ve pretty much had things all their own way; but now they sense that *some* of those American non-Muslims are *onto them*…and are getting ready to *resist*.
*All* American jihadwatchers here posting and lurking who have not already joined “ACT for America” should hurry up and join. Get the numbers up. Pour on the pressure.
Rattle the mohammedans some more. If you rattle them sufficiently, they’ll start to make mistakes.
ben t says
This Florida resident will be spreading around the mohammedan trash talk to every person and org. he knows, urging them to be on guard of their U.S. liberties.
I say to everyone I meet up with that mohammedanism is a gutter religion.

How can we get you to come to Maine, Mr. Spencer? The Old Testament has references to violence and genocide of the inhabitants of of the promised land but today’s Jews aren’t totally annihilating the Arabs there now. Problem is the
Muslims of today taking those statements in the Koran a something that should happen today. The Social Democrats and who control the media hate Christianity and have aligned themselves with Cair because Cair and they share a common goal namely the elimination and annihilation of Christianity and those who oppose who stand against Muslim violence.

That’s because the violence in the OT, stomach churning as it may be, it’s descriptive and limited to a specific time and location. The quranic statements on the other hand are timeless commands inciting muslims to use violence against non-muslims.

Why should any one of the najjis kaffir on this planet not be anti-muslim? After all, according to the dictates of pisslam all the unbelieving najjis kaffir are to be treated as untermenshen and are, in every pisslamic state on the face of the planet today.
