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

Hamas-linked CAIR official giving active shooter training in Florida mosques

Dec 6, 2015 12:13 pm By Robert Spencer

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. A California chapter distributed a poster telling Muslims not to talk to the FBI, and a Florida chapter distributed pamphlets with the same message. CAIR has opposed every anti-terror measure that has ever been proposed or implemented, and has been declared a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates.

And now Hamas-linked CAIR’s Nezar Hamze is giving active shooter training in Florida mosques. What could possibly go wrong?

Hamze is also helping the mosques get DHS money: “Hamze also is helping the mosque with prevention techniques and also helping the leaders apply for grants given by Homeland Security to religious institutions to beef up their own security.”

All this is based on the false assumption that mosques are under some kind of violent threat. The real threat is coming from the mosques, not going toward them, but no one seems concerned about that.

For some background, see this Newsmax show from last May, featuring Hamze and me, along with a relentlessly hostile and pro-Hamas-linked CAIR Ed Berliner.

“Active shooter training inside a Sarasota Mosque,” by Jonathan Petramala, WTSP, December 5, 2015 (thanks to Anti-CAIR):

Places of worship are only holy to the faithful.

“We think about it that way, but for somebody who wants to hurt somebody, for him, it’s not a holy place,” said Noureddiae, a member of the Islamic Society of Sarasota-Bradenton.

In the back of the prayer room, Nezar Hamze showed that. He pulled out two fake blue guns, and started firing. For over a minute, members of the mosque stared in shock and were frozen.

“Unfortunately this is exactly what is happening everywhere. People are just not prepared,” Hamze said.

Hamze travels the state for CAIR Florida, giving training to Islamic Centers about active shooting scenarios and self-defense.

“We need to make sure that the communities are trained and have a plan to deal with active shooters,” Hamze said. “Everyone in this country has to wake up. I think the entire country needs to get out of the victim mentality [because] it’s happening everywhere.”

That’s rich, coming from an official of an organization whose entire purpose and mission is to cultivate the victim mentality in Muslims in the U.S.

Hamze told the members about what to do. Run first. Hide if you can. But if you must…fight.

“You need to be thinking about these things. If you choose to fight, you need to realize you are probably sacrificing your life,” Hamze said.

Hamze also is helping the mosque with prevention techniques and also helping the leaders apply for grants given by Homeland Security to religious institutions to beef up their own security.

Hamze says he offers his training to anyone, and has already been asked to go into two synagogues and a church….

    Sarasota-Bradenton is a peaceful place with great beaches.
    They only ones wishing to stir up trouble there are carpet kissing Muzzies.
    Misery loves company.

    Some of them are more likely using this as preparation for attacking churches as Muslim “refugees” do their reconnaissance at churches who foolishly assist in resettlement.

      OR ASK A FRIEND OR RELATIVE IN FLORIDA TO CONTACT THOSE ELECTED PERSONS. AND SEND ROBERT’S BLOG POST ABOUT IT.

      OF COURSE, BECAUSE CAIR READS EVERYTHING ON JIHADWATCH, HAMZE WILL HAVE BEEN TOLD, PREPARING HIMSELF FOR LYING, BUT WE MUST AT LEAST GET THE TRUTH OUT NOW. * * * *

        Unfortunately, the response from the Usurper-in-Chief would be that: Muslims have their Second Amendment rights too.

          Unfortunately he is right or would be right. All the gun enthusiasts seem to forget that the Muslims can buy as many guns as they wish as well

          Actually, the denouncing of American citizenship is grounds to deny the right to buy a gun. If they would be honest, lol, wishing Sharia is on par with denouncing citizenship, right? I encourage everyone to call email visit in person every official you can, tell them this is over! Its not a game, they are going to give a grant to a mosque to “beef up” security. How dare they? We have been infiltrated by terrorists and pussies and if we dont fight with all our hearts against this, we have no future. I think its probably too late, but I believe in a God of Miracles, so I wont give up shut up, or put up with my America being taken and all we worked for given away to Racist Pedophile Inbreading Evil murderers. Impeach Obama. we cant fight treason at a voting box, he needs to leave now! Just look at how much he has done the last months. America wont make it to November if we dont purge this vile corruption from our Government. This is our last chance. Choose your side, stand your ground, obey the one TRUE GOD, and if they want war, be ready. Live free or die! No one can take your rights unless you LET THEM. No law usurps Gods law, so do not cower to his “exectutive orders” THEY ARE NOT LAWS, THEY ARE ACTS OF TREASON. MUCH LOVE, GOD BLESS.

      Yeah.

      And I happen to live in Sarasota. |:\

      This terrorist training center, Islamic Society of Sarasota-Bradenton., should be shut down permanently.

        abad,

        I believe David Jolly represents the Sarasota district. You should contact his staff and demand the Sarasota District receive DHS funding to train every congregate of every Roman Catholic Church, Synagogue and Protestant Church. Anything less is DHS funded bigotry against every Jew and Christian living within the Sarasota district.

    Hamze is not only a CAIR operative. Worse – far worse – he is Deputy Sheriff of Broward County in southeast Florida, appointed by the county’s Jewish sheriff in an attempt at outreach toward the area’s numerous Muslims. Refer to Joe Kaufman’s articles written for frontpagemag.com, for more details on Hamze.

    The people who need protection are mainly Jews (the most persecuted group in the US) and Christians.

    CIVILIANS SHOULD NOT BE TRAINED TO KILL. That’s madness, because when you train people to kill, eventually they will.

    PEOPLE…tell your elected representatives “NO ASSAULT TRAINING FOR MOSQUES!”

    BOTTOM LINE: Syed Farook killed Jews and Christians at a CHRISTMAS PARTY.

    In Paris, Muslim terrorists attacked a concert venue and sports arena. We can’t be safe from MUSLIM TERRORISTS ANYWHERE.

  6. Vyx says

    Dec 6, 2015 at 12:52 pm

    This is perfectly understandable. Poor, poor Muslims are always victims, and there have been dozens and dozens of cases of Christians coming into mosques and committing mass shootings of Muslims. They have to do this to be feel safe from the gun toting Bible thumpers who are the Greatest Terrorism Danger to America.

    At least, that’s what I expect CAIR/ US government to say.

    Run, hide, fight in that order. Great job Hamze. Keep up the good work. People who choose to run first are a gunman’s favorite. Imagine being able to go on a shooting spree unopposed. That is why gunmen at schools and office buildings rack up the body count while a certain gunman on a train in France did not.
    Or is it, Hamze, you are assuring your students that is how the rest of us are taught to respond in your “how to be a gunman,” class.

    Coincidentally, 911 hijacker Mohamed Atta was trained at a flight school in Venice, Florida, which is in Sarasota County, just 25 miles from the mosque.

    They should rename the learning center to mosque schools of acting…acting like victims waiting for backlash, but with pious plans to slay the infidel….camera’s lights turn on the cameras.

    Hamze is also helping the mosques get DHS money?

    Putting people in jobs based on hyperbolized need must stop…
    Homeland Security is way over staffed with wrong personal and ineffective with wrong perspectives…the executive administrative staff is micro managing all agency efforts…special Interests are involved in influencing opinion of so many issues…while the issues needing attention must wait until an event draws attention to Itself.

    This President’s terms in office is ending and who ever gets the office must work with law makers to unravel this Bureaucracy…Give control back to the security apparatus and department heads…and tie all their efforts to achievable goals and results that matter most…and insist that they produce realistic result based on what is achievable…We can significantly reduce the chaos…the cost…and orchestrate coordinated efforts so much better…If we stop trying to re-invent the wheel…stop making changes just for the sake of change…stop the media with special interests from giving undue attention to imagined problems…insist that the media does give rightful attention to national problems that need attention…and help garner support for our national efforts…by giving the public heads-up information on ongoing efforts and how they can support them.

    If you choose to fight, you need to realize you are probably sacrificing your life,” Hamze said.

    Translation: if you’re truly devout to allah you must wager your life in jihad.

    “Stared in shock and were frozen”

    That’s rich.
    These people were all acting…knowing what was happening, that it wasn’t an active shooting.
    The people getting down on the floor…the little kid with a smile on her face…and the laughing coming from the *brave* moslim who jumped up and grabbed the *shooter.*

    They aren’t living in fear that the neighborhood moslim will be coming to their door, breaking up their parties for their fake god, satan.
    This is just a ploy…to get attention as *victims* of the possible violence they know is not coming…and to get grant money from the government so they can prepare to keep the authorities out when an *active shooter* chooses to hide in their barracks.

    And this moslim who is a deputy in the sheriff’s office in Broward County, teaching possible victims in churches and synagogues to *run*…to try to *hide*…as first responses to being attacked.

    This is not what non moslim men do when teaching people how to respond to an attack.

    It may be something people laugh about or scorn, but I’m praying for the beast and its master to go down into the abyss.

    In my mind, there’s nothing wrong with teaching self-defense and how to respond to jihad or a terrorist attack. It is fair that every American citizen (regardless of demographic) know this and every competent citizen be able to carry concealed as a form of defense. (Of course, armed mob violence in Muslim no-go zones is a potential consequence of such a strategy).

    It’s just silly (and very disingenuous) pretending that the mosque is the target.

    Maybe the “frozen” audience was just waiting for him to blow himself up, as is common practice in jihad attacks.

    If I recall correctly, when Israel allowed more civilian gun ownership, jihad attacks went from knife and gun attacks to suicide bombing.

    As long as an ideology of violence, hatred, and suicide thrives within a country’s borders, violent, hateful, suicide attacks will be commonplace. “Defenders” against these attacks will always be the losing party because they cannot prevent spontaneous attacks. Eliminating the threatening ideology is the only path to returning to a (relatively) peaceful, safe community.

    Islam glorifies slavery, murder, lying, intolerance, rape, and destruction. It is a primitive state of humanity falsely presenting itself as enlightened. It must be rejected by society if we are to live with peace and prosperity.

    FAROOQ STATES HE AND FRIENDS WITH SISTER HUNG OUT IN BACKYARD AND DID ‘TARGET (SHOOTING) PRACTICE’

    In his Dating Site profile-
    The user said he was from a “religious but modern family” and listed “Eastern and Western Mix” under family values.

    “Enjoy working on vintage and modern cars, read religious books, enjoy eating out sometimes travel and just hang out in back yard doing target practice with younger sister and friends,” according to the profile.

    Hang on there…wait a mite…

    just hang out in back yard doing target practice ?with younger sister and friends ?

    So there are others?

    NOW WE HEAR SHOOTING TRAINING IS BEING GIVEN IN MOSQUES!

    How deep does this Rabbit hole go?

    Blame your dumbass constitution.

    All American citizens have the right to bear arms and the right to be trained in their use. You’ve had 355 mass shootings this year, many in schools. Mostly by white christians.

    I’m surprised it’s taken this ling for a muslim to get involved in America’s national sport, shooting people for kicks.

    In the UK, gun ownership is not encouraged, & usually illegal.
    However, we too are being forced into national suicide.
    A particularly effective measure is via taxpayer funded
    “faith schools”.
    In this case children of mohammedan parents are sent to
    religious schools where they are taught to hate everyone but
    their own kind.

    Muslims have to be careful from christians, the bible goes off by itself sometimes, christian will walk into a mosque pull out his bible and tell them to repent, tell them to love their neighbor, tell them they should not kill….
