Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Oklahoma: Hamas-linked CAIR denies that it is Hamas-linked

Nov 2, 2015 4:05 pm By Robert Spencer

“Any claim that CAIR is associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, or any other terrorist organization is absolutely preposterous,” said Hamas-linked CAIR’s Adam Soltani. “CAIR was founded in 1994 in Washington D.C. as a national organization to be a civil rights advocate for American Muslims, to stand up for constitutional rights, for religious freedom, for pluralism, and for every right that we value as American citizens.”

Soltani didn’t mention that, as Discover the Networks reports, “CAIR was co-founded in 1994 by Nihad Awad, Omar Ahmad, and Rafeeq Jaber, all of whom had close ties to the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), which was established by senior Hamas operative Mousa Abu Marzook and functioned as Hamas’ public relations and recruitment arm in the United States. Awad and Ahmad previously had served, respectively, as IAP’s Public Relations Director and President. Thus it can be said that CAIR was an outgrowth of IAP. CAIR opened its first office in Washington, DC, with the help of a $5,000 donation from the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF), a self-described charity founded by Mousa Abu Marzook.”

Nor does Soltani mention that “Nihad Awad asserted at a 1994 meeting at Barry University, ‘I am a supporter of the Hamas movement.'” He omits the fact that Omar Ahma was described by prosecutors in the Holy Land Foundation trial as “a member of the Muslim Brotherhood’s ‘Palestine Committee’ in America.” DTN also says: “On June 4, 2007, the New York Sun reported that CAIR had been named as an unindicted co-conspirator in an alleged criminal conspiracy to support both Hamas and the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF). The federal prosecution document, in naming CAIR as an unindicted co-conspirator, described the organization as a present or past member of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee.”

And: “In the summer 2007 Holy Land Foundation trial, it was learned that CAIR’s parent organization, the Islamic Association for Palestine, had been named in a May 1991 Muslim Brotherhood memorandum as one of the Brotherhood’s likeminded ‘organizations of our friends’ who shared the common goal of conducting ‘a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands … so that … God’s religion [Islam] is made victorious over all other religions.'”

“CAIR will have a float in the Tulsa Veterans Day parade,” by Russell Mills, KRMG, November 2, 2015 (thanks to Anti-CAIR):

The Veterans Day parade in Tulsa is one of the largest in the country each year, but this year one float in particular is getting a lot of attention.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, applied for and was granted a spot in the 2015 parade.

That doesn’t sit well with some people, including Tulsan Larry Williamson.

“The organization is anti-American,” Williamson tells KRMG. “It’s part of the Muslim Brotherhood, at least it’s a member of the Muslim Brotherhood Palestine Committee. This is not according to me, it’s according to the FBI.”

He said he doesn’t object to individual Muslims marching in the parade, or even other organizations like the Peace Academy, an Islamic private school based in Tulsa.

“But this particular group, they are anti-American, they are enemies of America in a current war. Americans are fighting and dying to defend against the Jihad. These people are here raising money for Hamas,” Williamson said.

Adam Soltani, Executive Director of CAIR Oklahoma, says claims that CAIR supports terrorism are simply false.

“Any claim that CAIR is associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, or any other terrorist organization is absolutely preposterous,[“] he told KRMG. “CAIR was founded in 1994 in Washington D.C. as a national organization to be a civil rights advocate for American Muslims, to stand up for constitutional rights, for religious freedom, for pluralism, and for every right that we value as American citizens.”

He said the float is intended to “send a message out there, that as Muslims we are part and parcel of this society, we are part of the fabric of this beautiful country, and we appreciate our veterans. There are many Muslim veterans, including here in Oklahoma – some of which will be on that float, and a part of that parade – and we just want to show our appreciation for those who have served our country and fought to preserve our freedoms and the beauty of our nation.”…

    Muslims participating in a Veterans Day parade ?????????????????????????? This is the latest in dozens of numbskull things that CAIR chapters around the U.S. do. Ibe Hooper and Nihad Awad read every post about CAIR here on JW, so maybe they can pass the word on to Adam Soltani :

    MAINSTREAM AMERICA INCLUDING TULSA CITIZENS ALREADY KNOW THAT ISLAM IS A DEATH CULT WITH THE VERY VERY BLOODTHIRSTY ALLAH AS ITS “SUPREME BEING” AND SOCIOPATH MUHAMMAD AS ITS “IDEAL MAN”.

    If you too are a fan of the fun-loving recreation directors at Oklahoma’s top mosque (the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City, Isgoc), you will want to know about Adam Soltani’s other role:
    http://www.isgoc.com/site/dawah-outreach/
    Yes, Adam Soltani is not just a CAIR official, but also Isgoc’s Director of Islamic Information (that’s the best kind of information). And as part of his dawah outreach, a search on “80 percent sharia saad” will lead you to
    http://www.edmondsun.com/news/local_news/sharia-law-courts-likely-on-ballot/article_a9028340-24bd-5675-9b2a-9c62650e3cae.html
    in which Soltani’s predecessor at Isgoc agrees with Dr. Ben Carson that sharia is incompatible with the U.S. constitution:
    “Saad Mohammed, Director of Islamic information for the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City, said 80 percent of the U.S. Constitution is compatible with Sharia, which leads to justice and equality for all [except kafirs].”
    Does Imam Soltani agree with Imam Mohammed and Dr. Ben Carson? Just ask him, and he’ll be glad to clear everything up.

    • Noor al-Amriki says

      Nov 2, 2015 at 5:47 pm

      First, Saad Mohammed is not an imam. The imam at the ISGOC is Imad Enchassi. Second, Saad Mohammed once confirmed that Islam offers three choices to non-Muslims. You must invite them to Islam, then offer to let them liver under Islamic rule and pay the jizya, or fight them. Saad said that Muslims in America are on the first part right now. He can deny what he wants, but he believes in Islam and its goal of world domination.

      • Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says

        Nov 2, 2015 at 10:45 pm

        Thank you, Noor al-Amriki, for setting me straight about whether Saad Mohammed is an imam. Briefly, how can you tell an imam from a non-imam? Perhaps I have been wrong in thinking that a mosque can have multiple imams, but only one head imam. The Wikipedia article
        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imam
        is not clear about this. (And it mentions “The Infallibles”, which would be the perfect name for a papal hit-squad — and a comic book of the same name.) You are right that Dr. [a title] Imam [a title] Imad [a forename] Enchasssi [a surname] is an imam, but is he Isgoc’s only imam? See
        http://www.isgoc.com/site/abouttheimam/
        Dr. Enchassi used to claim to have a Certificate of Apostolic Succession, but has since changed the claim to having an “Eijazah in Quranic Recitation that goes back to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), similar to the concept of Apostolic Succession.” His claim to be the culmination of a isnad-like chain of teachers going all the way back to the Prophet himself is almost as impressive as having a chain that goes back to the Twelve(r?) Apostles of Isa. But when I asked him — politely, I thought — to publish this chain of teachers on his webpage, he refused in what I took to be a nyeah-nyeah way. Try asking him for this list of names; maybe you, being more diplomatic, will be more successful at eliciting this information.

        • Noor al-Amriki says

          Nov 3, 2015 at 6:03 pm

          From what I remember, an imam is a prayer leader. So, technically, there anyone leading a prayer could be referred to as an imam. However, Imad Enchassi is the official, paid imam. I spoke out against Islam last year with Robert Spencer on Fox News so I doubt Enchassi would want anything to do with me. The feeling is mutual.

      Hello Mark — Thanks for the linked leads. The more sources we have, the better are we prepared for counter-jihad.

      The Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City, of which Soltani is affiliated, was incorporated by Mufid Abdel Qader, a member of the Palestine Committee, the HAMAS support group in this country that was started by the Muslim Brotherhood.
      http://pamelageller.com/2014/09/exclusive-the-jihad-origins-of-the-oklahoma-beheaders-hamas-mosque.html/
      Supposedly, Soltani is here to promote a better understanding of the Islamic faith. The only “understanding” one should derive from this is that certain Muslims lie. Soltani is one of those Muslims.

    Well, there you have it, straight from the horse’s mouth. Forget what the FBI says – if we can’t trust the people with all the reasons to lie, who can we trust?

    My experience is that very few Muslims have a deep admiration for any Western army fighting against Islamic terrorists. They impute the worst motives and evilest cruelties to them without evidence.

      CAIR is trying to desensitize Americans to their terrorist bosses in Hamas.

    I won’t ever trust a muslim, nor my family friends and neighbors. I even warn people while I am out shopping. I never miss a chance to be honest about ISLAM, MUSLIMS AND CAIR. THAT GOES FOR ALL MUSLIM ORGANIZATIONS. DON’T TRUST MUSLIMS.

      Nobody should ever trust a muslim because they are RELIGIOUS LIARS!!

      They lie for “allasucks”

      Throw away your ten commandments–they’re for suckers.

      Muslims are pathological liars.

    If you live in the USA and don’t have a gun, I suggest you get one to protect yourself, family… friends, neighbors or anyone that should be attacked. Look at Israel, the UK, Europe and all non muslim countries. They are evil and violent. They lie in the USA because of who we are and what our country stands for. They are sneaking through elections. Ellison is one senator that tried to hide it but got caught using Twitter. I’m happy the FBI has the schools monitored. I also believe a lot of crimes by muslims are covered up in the media. We won’t lose this war… it is war. .

    Probably the most nauseating thing in the world is a hybrid WORST OF AMERICAN/ WORST OF ISLAM-

    which is just what this guy looks like.

    He’s just American enough to know the ropes and how to use them for money and power

    and just muslim enough to talk the talk and agitate for islam.

    really he’s just a pig (ironic as that is)

    The world is at war:

    THE CULTURE OF SELF VS. THE CULTURE OF DEATH

    This guy represents both.
