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

Hamas-linked CAIR’s Lamis Deek cheers for Jerusalem jihad murderer

Oct 21, 2016 1:12 pm By Robert Spencer

The mask drops. But the Left today is so thoroughly sold out to “Palestinian” jihad propaganda that none of Lamis Deek’s friends among the cognoscenti are likely to notice or care.

“CAIR’s Lamis Deek Fetes Jerusalem Terrorist,” IPT News, October 14, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A Palestinian man shot dead Sunday after waging a terrorist attack that killed two people in Jerusalem and wounded five others was hailed as “the Lion of Jerusalem” and a martyr by an official with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

Mesbah Abu Sbeih, 39, engaged in “self-defense,” Deek wrote Monday on Twitter. That is “…*not* an attack. Reporting otherwise perpetuates a false propaganda.”

As we have shown, this kind of glorification of violence, when directed at Israelis, is consistent for Deek, an attorney who serves on the board for CAIR’s New York chapter. She has called Israel “the genocidal zionist regime.”

In this case, she reposted a video tribute to Sbeih on Facebook, describing him as “this mountain of a man, how they envied him.” The video shows footage of the shooting attack and its aftermath, including a Palestinian taping on his cell phone from a distance shouting, “Allahu Akhbar.”

Deek’s organization, CAIR, has roots in a Hamas support organization in the United States created by the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. Witnesses and documents establish these connections, but CAIR officials refuse to confront the issue directly.

Deek is joining a series of Palestinian groups and people in canonizing Sbeih. A Palestinian soccer team posed with a photo of the terrorist hailing him as a martyr and hero. Giant posters displaying his image appeared on buildings. The Palestinian Authority called for a general strike Sunday to honor his “martyrdom.”

Sbeih was supposed to begin a four-month jail sentence stemming from a 2013 assault on a police officer.

“[T]hey thought he’d walk into the zionist dungeon meekly,” Deek wrote. “He chose resistance and dignity instead.”

A 60-year-old woman, Levana Malihi, was one of the victims of this act of “dignity.”

He killed an innocent woman. Deek offered one wish for his legacy: “May he live forever a thorn in the eye of every zionist colonizer and hostage taker,” she wrote.

    This should maker a person of interest, if law enforcement decides not to care about accusations of “racial profiling”…

    What makes an Islamic martyr?

    Murdering an unarmed Jewish woman at
    a light train stop?

      Exactly right. Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of jews in the US support Huma & Hillary, who will inundate the nation with muslim immigrants and so-called refugees, many of whom we know are terrorists or terrorist sympathizers; almost all are jew haters. How many jews will be attacked or killed by these creatures? No one seems to care, least of all the jews.

    Some “self defense”! An unarmed older woman, going about her daily business, maybe buying groceries for her family. Yea, great martyr, a “lion”, a toothless one. He did’t choose an armed soldier out of fear, but rather an innovent woman. Great honor for this cowardly murderer.
    And those postings of CAIR are definitely hate speech that exposes their murderous sick minds. How vile can you get, Lamis ‘Dick’?

    I notice that in 2011, this same CAIR official, Lamis Deek provided legal representation to Ahmed Ferhani , who was convicted on terrorism charges — he had planned to blow up a synagogue and other structures including the Empire State Building.

    So my question is, why is a person who openly celebrates the murder and maiming of civilians by jihadists allowed to serve as an officer of an American court?

    To clarify — the question is not whether somebody accused of terror-related crimes should have legal defense. The question is whether it is appropriate and/or tolerable for any officer of an American court, including Lamis Deek, to openly celebrate the jihadist murders and maimings of civilians.
