In light of the escalating jihad in the U.S. and around the world, Hamas-linked CAIR’s claim that studying the motivating ideology behind that jihad is unconstitutional demonstrates the truth yet again of what I have often pointed out: that CAIR opposes any and every counter-terror measure ever proposed or implemented, in an obvious attempt to clear away all obstacles before the advancing jihad.
The First Amendment is not a license to commit treason or sedition. And we cannot defeat an enemy we do not understand. Trump’s call for a commission to study the jihadis’ ideology is not in the least an infringement of the First Amendment rights of Muslims in America, who we are supposed to believe all oppose and reject jihad terror anyway.
Hamas-linked CAIR may be deeply afraid that Trump’s commission on “radical Islam” might find that jihad warfare against unbelievers is in Islam actually quite mainstream.
“CAIR To Donald Trump: The Constitution Says Government Can’t Study or Criticize Radical Islam,” by Neil Munro, Breitbart, August 16, 2016 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
An Islamic group tied closely to jihadi terror groups is complaining that Donald Trump will violate the constitution by helping Americans better understand the nature of radical, jihad-promoting Islam.
“One of my first acts as President will be to establish a Commission on Radical Islam – which will include reformist voices in the Muslim community,” Trump declared in a reformist foreign policy speech on Monday.
“The goal of the commission will be to identify and explain to the American public the core convictions and beliefs of Radical Islam, to identify the warning signs of radicalization, and to expose the networks in our society that support radicalization … [and] we will pursue aggressive criminal or immigration charges against anyone who lends material support to terrorism,” he said.
That promise of legal charges is a direct threat to the jihad-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations, which has many material links to domestic and foreign groups that support Islamic war. CAIR has been declared a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates and was named by federal prosecutors as an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas-funding operation.
CAIR responded to Trump’s speech by suggesting that rhetorical and religious support (although not actions) for Islamic jihad terrorism is a constitutional right, both for Americans and for would-be immigrants who wish to introduce jihad and other Islamic ideas into the United States.
Trump’s proposal for a ‘commission’ that would identify for Americans the tenets of ‘radical Islam’ crosses the line into government interference in religious beliefs. Will a Trump administration entangle itself in interpretation of [Islamic] religious principles? Who will Trump appoint to decide what constitutes ‘radical Islam’? His current stable of Islamophobic [sic] advisers indicates that this commission would be packed with anti-Muslim bigots.
This government promotion of a state version of a particular religion would violate the First Amendment and put America on a path to a society in which those in power get to choose which beliefs are ‘correct’ and which are ‘incorrect.’
CAIR is so closely entwined with Islamists and with jihadis that court documents and news reports show that at least five of its people — either board members, employees or former employees — have been jailed or repatriated for various financial and terror-related offenses….

Adrian says
CAIR’s core pretext is that one cannot criticize a “religion”…
Trump could just call it an ideology, and that’s that.
Who cares what they dress it up as? If someone’s beliefs go against our Constitution and laws, that’s al;l that matters
Saleem Smith says
CAIR and every other Islamic organization obediently follow every word of Mohammed. For lack of a better word, they are Islamists. They want Islamic law because the laws of Islam are contained within the Islamic texts – the Quran and Sunnah. Many of these Muslims have been brainwashed by the cult of Mohammedanism since birth, while others consciously promote the evil lie of Islam.
We ex-Muslims living with Islam’s formal and informal death penalty for apostasy know that Islam is a complete fraud that no sane person could support. Muhammad the prophet of Islam probably never even existed.
The Quran itself is nothing more than words attributed to Mohammed.
Islam is no “religion of peace.” Islam is primarily a religion of “injustice, intolerance, hatred, and violence.” The fact is, if we non-Muslims were to say about Muslims what the Qur’an says about us, we would be arrested for hate speech. The Qur’an largely preaches discrimination, death, and imposition of its dogma on everyone. Certainly some Muslims will be offended by such statements, but frankly, so what? Judaism and Christianity, the world’s two other major monotheistic religions, have had to face the harshest of scrutiny and criticism for several hundred years which continues to this day. Islam must not be granted any special privileges or be exempt from such treatment – the implications are of tremendous importance.
Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:
“One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur’an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way…
The statement continues,
Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.”

Good post. islam is demonic, hateful, bigoted, ignorant, and murderously violent. People that live according to such a creed are a threat to our constitutional democracy and our peace. Muslims stubbornly maintain their own culture and religion wherever they go and employ violence and cohersion to advance their religopolitical ideology. Muslims’ doctrinal message and societal tactics are tanatamount to a declaration of war. Europe is on the verge of collapse to islam and we’re next if we don’t act now to stop it. It really is that simple, except the left has made it hard with their unabashed support for muslims’ Nazish style religion of totalitarian control and murder of non-muslims. We’re fighting a two front war and it’s getting harder every day.

It is impossible to conceive that any person who has had the privilege of being in contact with the All-Mighty would indulge himself in lust, assassination, greed or hate. On the contrary any person who really is contact with God should exhibit great love, compassion and detachment from worldly desires.

It is a fact that Italy does not recognise Islam as a religion. It receives NO state support.
Berengaria says
This is a Big Surprise to me, because I read that Italian schools were very Pro-Religion Of Peace, demanding Italian Children not wear visible signs of Christianity. However, I am more than Pleased with the new Information. Hope to see Pope Francis the Fickle, as he & his Muslim Guests in the Vatican, go hand in hand down to the Marxist Homeland Together. No More Commie Homeland in the USA, it is unacceptable to start chanting Marxist Phrases, Open Season on Marxists!
john spielman says
one can ALWAYS criticize religion, it has been done for years to Christianity.
for the record and for CAIR; islam( note the lack of capitalization as a sign od disrespect0 is a doctrine of Satan and muhammed was a demon possessed mass murderer thief liar and pedophile pervert false prophet
Alexius Comnenus says
islam is not a religion and is not part of the religions of the Book.
This is a innovation going back centuries ago. Most of our Popes rejected and disputed this insanity.
The history supports and answers the question “what islam is after all’, and what had brought new into the world? Only violence, rape, genocide as the Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Paleologus wrote in 1500th century in his reply to the Persian scholar.
The great Pope Benedict XVI had defined perfectly theologically what islam is after all.
And this is not ‘islamophobia’ but a true historical verified truth.
J D S says
Call it what it actually is…an Islamic CULT..it must be a CULT because no GOd based religion would promote what islam does and murder is only one of their promotion
I find no place where God’s Son, Jesus, tells me to kill anyone or to overthrow a government. Render into Caesar what is Caesars and into a God what is God’s.

IQ al Rassooli says
Dear readers
For D Trump to utterly DISCREDIT CAIR legally is very simple. An individual American or organization should take CAIR to court for being an ENEMY of the USA & the American people as well as an agent of Islamic terror
Let me put the record straight:
1. Allah is NOT the same as the God of the Bible
2. Since Allah is NOT God, then Muhammad LIED when he asserts in his Quran that Allah REVEALED it to him
3. Hence Quran is NOT a holy book and Islam is NOT a Religion but a CULT belief system, the Cult of Muhammad
4. Mosques are therefore places where the followers of Muhammad are INDOCTRINATED to HATE not only the American Constitution, but to HATE every American who is NOT a Muslim (97% of Americans)
5. Sharia (the very FOUNDATION of Islam) is the NEMESIS of the American Constitution and the MORTAL enemy of ALL freedoms therein enshrined as well as the instigator of ALL violence against ALL none Muslim humanity (80%) all over the globe
6. Therefore CAIR and all Muslims (since they are Sharia compliant) are automatically ENEMIES of the Republic who must not be allowed to remain in the USA
Based upon my over 30 years of study and research, there is no lawyer anywhere on Earth who can successfully defend CAIR or Islam
I sincerely hope that some Muslim or one of their apologists will try to REFUTE anything I have stated

Debi Brand says
Amen, al Rassooli, spot on as always.
Alien Republican says
Mr. al Rassooli
Every word of the koran is the word of Mohammed.
Mohammed claims, that he is the messenger. There are no withnesses, which make the use of “claim” seem justified.
Furthermore, he CONFIRMS that the messages are second messages hand as they are allegedly. from Gabriel. No witnesses to that.
Mohammed thinks that Gabriel is Gabriel, because Gabriel says so. We “know” that because Mohammed says so. Not withness to that.
Personally, I don’t need to dig any further to come to the conclusion that the islamic religion is nonsense. It might have had the chance to be a ethically respectable religion if sponsored by an impeccalbe character, which according to islamic sources is hardly the case.
For the arguments sake, let’s assume that all the above nonsense were true. Mohammed being visited by the “real” Gabriel and receiving messages from Allah.
“To err is human”. What a horror.
To exlude any doubts he must be declared the “perfect” muslim. Hence the importance of the haddiths and the sunna.
And with that all the trouble, perversions, insanity of a single man is sanctioned by “God”.
—
How does the first Muslim in history – I’m aware that some muslims claim that originally all were muslims, not the point here – recognize Gabriel, assuming for the arguments sake that Gabriel exists ?
Every word of the koran is the word of Mohammed.
“Insutling” the koran is insulting Mohammed, is insulting “Allah”.
Muslims have turned Mohammed into a deity. “Blasphemy” by definition is a crime against “God”, not against a human being.
PRCS says
In truth, there’s not really any proof that this “Muhammad” actually existed.
Could’a been anyone, any group.

“The goal of the commission will be to identify and explain to the American public the core convictions and beliefs of Radical Islam, to identify the warning signs of radicalization, and to expose the networks in our society that support radicalization …”
———-
The first order of business should be that each member of the commission be jprovided a copy of and directed to read the following exhibit, used in the Holy Land Terror Funding trial of 2008 in which CAIR was identified as an unindicted co-conspirator:
“An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America”

rara says
Yes! In their words:
“The Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers”
Cecilia Ellis says
Absolutely, Rara! And you have selected the linchpin statement in the document! Thanks for posting that sentence.
davej says
“We have to figure out what’s going on here”.
Education of a naive and credulous American public would be a good first step.
Maybe instead of banning the Quran we should print condensed, Reader’s Digest versions and make them available for pick up at our post offices, schools and libraries.
Along with an explanation that many of the Quran-readers have declared war on our Nation and want to kill us all, with many more supporting that goal.
Our children deserve to know exactly what they are facing.

No need to study it – here it is clearly and chillingly articulated by an ISIS journalist in Dabiq Magazine, in an article entitled “Why we Hate you”! https://www.samharris.org/podcast/item/what-do-jihadists-really-want/
underbed cat says
Excellent reference Cecilia to the MB Explanatory Memorandum, which I hope Trump has or will read…..because Obama ignored it. No surprise since it would be against his agenda, but I swear that the VP took a peak just as his term ends a little too late to be informed or to discredit the trial.
And of course JW …..and his books.
Cecilia Ellis says
Cat, my hope is that someone will tell him about this pivotal document in understanding the Muslim Brotherhood strategy and its tentacles in the United States. I know that Walid Phares is one of his advisors. My dream is that he would solicit both Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller to be members of his commission. That would seal the deal.
linnte says
The first thing the Trump council needs to do is read the Qur’an! Then go from there! It’s my hope that Robert Spencer is on Trump’s list as an advisor!
This is such sweetly juicy stuff! CAIR is worried, as they SHOULD be. Their regime is about to come tumbling down. Why does this feel so SATISFYING?? haahahahahaha hah!
Cecilia Ellis says
Linnte, I posted my comment prior to reading yours. I see we both had th same idea. ?
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
CAIR fans who are contemplating sending them a substantial donation will want to know that they recently updated their privacy policy, which is found at
https://www.cair.com/privacy-policy.html
A few observations…
* The organization is no longer called CAIR; as seen in this document, it now refers to itself as “the CAIR”.
* In this privacy policy, they make no commitment to not disclosing to any government — the U.S. government, the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran — any personal or jihad-planning information you give them.
* Shockingly, their privacy policy is not sharia-compliant. In the event of their breach of this privacy policy, they refuse to subject themselves to the penal provisions of Quran 5:33.
Don McKellar says
This is EXACTLY what I told everybody here months ago would happen. I sure did meet with a lot of opposition. But it was simple logic. As Trump said, there would be a ban on moslems until an investigation could be made and the nation’s lawmakers could figure out what the hell was going on. And that can only mean a Commission on Islam to very publicly explore the philosophy of Islam which causes so much terror and violence in the world. To be honest about it for once. Just like what happens on Jihad Watch. Honesty and transparency is highly destructive for Islam, which is built on lies and deception. CAIR’s outrage is just the beginning.
This is now going to be one of the focal points for this entire election. We’re all going to talk about Islam. And that’s going to drive a lot of very evil men (and a few women) into wild fits of anger — and infuriate even more useful idiots for Islam who can’t face the facts that their world view is a hopelessly naive delusion.
Alien Republican says
“This is now going to be one of the focal points for this entire election.”

I have the feeling it will and that it will not pay off for Democrats. UNLESS, there will be 3 months of respite from islamic terror. Unlikely.
I don’t think that being perceived as the defender of the “faith” will make Hillary palatable.

Johan Elzinga says
The American constitution leaves room for freedom of expression and freedom of thought. These islam- linked people have no such concept, what they propose sounds like the thought control in George Orwell’s 1984. Soon they will control the media if we let them. As far as I am concerned, Trump shouldn’t bother to appoint islam-oriented believers in this commission. Researchers should only look at facts and in that case it could be a burden at best if they are a member of this seriously misleading religious group. Keep it sane, clean and stick to the facts, shall we? The public has a right to know what is really going on!
Islamorefugee says
No US president has ever done more harm to the people of the Republic than HUSSEIN Obama. He has pushed the great nation to the brink of extinction into the islamic hell .The people of the Republic now have to eliminate the inner cancers first.
Now the question is ,who is CAIR to decide what the Republic will do to ensure the peace and security of its citizens ?? Knowledge of the Judge about a crime and its perpetrators cannot be his disqualification . The CAIR operators are playing the age old game of islamic deception and creating pandemonium,loud and rabidly orchestrated. This is an old game with the Arabs and that is the islamic culture in its every aspect.
The Republic was fooled once ,and the shame ascribed to the islamic crooks ,quite rightly. But, if fooled for this time too,under the islamic deceptive games ,the shame will be on the Republic…The people of America will prove it before the world that they do have nothing of that wisdom to claim, and live in, the world created by their wise and courageous forefathers .
It will be really hard on us then who look at the USA ,as a Republic, to lead the humanity with the spirit of liberty.
Only the USA can liberate us from the clutches of islam …..The crass and downright EVIL islam that its stupid followers still call a religion. Shame is simply not expected of these subhumans.
Elimination of these subhumans is the only cure for the suffering mankind.
Let us start it immediately for our posterity to live in a truly peaceful world where these devils would be seen nowhere .
A vile ideology is given its shape by the correspondingly vile followers. A ideology can be ‘aren’t in its followers
.
Make no mistake this time, dear Republic. (Remember how the new nation ,the USA , chastised, and then eliminated, the islamic Barbary pirates of North Africa in the 18th.century, which ultimately helped the USA to organise its great ‘Marines’.)
Weeeeee……. all are with you !!!!!!!

Regret the mistake.

Really? How? How would studying a religion interfere with religious beliefs?
Seems to me that Khan guy needs to give CAIR, not Trump, his copy of the Constitution…
You mean, like the Obama administration is meddling with Christian religious principles?
Seeing the calibre and worth of the people you currently decry as “anti-muslim bigots”, one can only hope so…

We should just ban Islam and CAIR in America!! We had enough of this garbage talk from CAIR. First they come to this country and then they want to teach us what is constitutional or not!! Ha, ha,.. they don’t even know how to spell constitution!! Muslim constitution is Quran so they care a hoot about US constitution. We need a President like Teddy Roosevelt in our tie who would fight these traitors!
Alien Republican says
“Trump’s proposal for a ‘commission’ that would identify for Americans the tenets of ‘radical Islam’ crosses the line into government interference in religious beliefs.”
> The commission is not a religious authority, hence it’s not an interference.
(… slandering bla bla … )
“This government promotion of a state version of a particular religion would violate the First Amendment and put America on a path to a society in which those in power get to choose which beliefs are ‘correct’ and which are ‘incorrect. “
> The hidden gem in this statement is that “policital correctnes” is an insult to the rationally inclined citizens.
Who gets to decide what is politically correct or not ? The obvious promotion of governmentally or trans-govermentally sactioned views would violate the First Amendment…
mortimer says
It is appropriate to compare Islamofascism to Hitlerism with its grandiose project of world conquest and colonization. Both ideologies use the suspension of ethics to accomplish the goals of annihilating opponents.
CAIR’s main goal is to conceal any assessment of the threat of Islamofascism.

As Stephen Cougjlin has said…”We are no longer a free society when we can be prosecuted for speaking the truth (Islam). It is also an attack on thought.”

It’s not unconstitutional for our government to study “radical” Islam.
But, they’d be wasting their time, and the taxpayers money, now wouldn’t they–in studying something that doesn’t even exist.
And, at the end, what conclusions will they submit–that it doesn’t exist!
And, of course, because it’s only “radical” Islam they’re studying—-written, Orthodox Islam will get another pass.

WHY? BECAUSE ISLAM AND ITS LYING CHEATING, CONNIVING BELIEFS DON’T GIVE A MONKEY’S CRAP ABOUT THE AMERICAN’S CONSTITUTION IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM. I SAY TO CAIR,” YOU CAN ALL GO AND GET STUFFED”. YOU ARE ALL SONS OF THE DEVIL/SATAN.
Shan Lim says
The Constitution Says Government Can’t Study or Criticize Radical Islam?
Really?
Didn’t Thomas Jefferson, one of the framers of the Constitution, study the koran for just that? When the United States’ ships were attacked for no reason by the “Barbary Coast Pirates” and had to pay ransoms and tributes, he and John Adams went to have a talk with the ambassador from Tripoli. They wanted to know why Tripoli attacked ships of the US without provocation. The were shocked to learn from him that that was what they do as commanded by their allah. In order to understand the teaching of their religion, i.e. islam, Jefferson had to study the koran.
Unconstituional? Who CAIR?
