Hamas-linked CAIR smears Ted Cruz in frantic efforts to block Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Bill

Jan 28, 2017 9:49 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

In its efforts to block the bill and smear Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas), the senator spearheading the designation effort, CAIR recently claimed that the bill “was written by a disgraced former FBI agent who has made a career out of bashing Muslims and Islam.

Hamas-linked CAIR is accustomed to lying, smearing, and playing the victim on behalf of Muslims living in America, faking anti-Muslim hate-crimes and promoting the bogus “Islamophobia” narrative. CAIR’s desperation is showing, and will likely increase in its fight against the “Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act“.

“Muslim Brotherhood Ally Falsely Smears Senator to Block Terror Designation Bill”, by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, January 27 2017:

An Islamic organization long accused of being part of the Muslim Brotherhood’s network in America has been caught trading in lies as part of an effort to ensure the Brotherhood is not designated as a terrorist entity in the United States, according to information obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The Council on American Islamic Relations, or CAIR, a Muslim advocacy group that was named by the U.S. government as part of a vast network supporting the terror group Hamas, recently launched an effort to block a bill that would formally designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terror organization. Many other countries, including Israel and Egypt, have already approved similar legislation.

In its efforts to block the bill and smear Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas), the senator spearheading the designation effort, CAIR recently claimed that the bill “was written by a disgraced former FBI agent who has made a career out of bashing Muslims and Islam,” according to a CAIR press release.

CAIR officials claimed that this purported revelation stains the reputations of Cruz and former Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R., Minn.), who helped draft the original bill.

“The fact that Senator Cruz’s current legislation has its origins in the conspiracy theories of a notorious Islamophobe serves to prove that the bill is designed as the basis for an anti-Muslim witch hunt, not as a legitimate defense of national security,” CAIR Government Affairs Director Robert McCaw said earlier this week.

The Free Beacon can now disclose that CAIR’s claims are false and that John Guandolo, the former FBI agent named by CAIR as the bill’s primary architect, played no role in crafting the legislation, according to sources with direct knowledge of the situation

“In response to the false claims of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) claiming that former FBI Agent John Guandolo was responsible for drafting my 2014 bill calling for the designation of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, I can state absolutely that Mr. Guandolo had nothing to do with the drafting of the bill, nor did anyone from my office seek his input,” Bachmann exclusively told the Free Beacon.

“Unable to address the findings of the bill, CAIR is engaged in a transparent attempt to attack this effort through smears and guilt by association,” Bachmann said.

When presented with Bachmann’s denial, CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper moved to distance his group from the false claims, telling the Free Beacon, “Please contact [news website] WorldNetDaily. They made the claim.”

This, too, appears to be untrue. The original press release specifically attributes the information to CAIR.

“The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today revealed that the original draft of Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) controversial ‘Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act’ was written by a disgraced former FBI agent who has made a career out of bashing Muslims and Islam,” the group wrote.

CAIR’s Hooper did not respond to further Free Beacon requests for comment on whether the organization would retract its claims and provide an apology to the lawmakers in light of new information from Bachmann.

Cruz told the Free Beacon that CAIR’s priorities are misplaced and that it should be working to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terror outfit.

“The Muslim Brotherhood does not represent the Muslim community; they antagonize it,” Cruz said. “If CAIR’s true mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, and empower American Muslims, it would be of great value to denounce the Muslim Brotherhood, along with its radical teachings and commitment to violent jihad.”

CAIR has long attempted to distance itself from its alleged role in a massive terrorism case by the U.S. government against the now defunct Holy Land Foundation, which was found to be funneling money to Hamas terrorists in support of the Muslim Brotherhood’s network in America.

CAIR was identified as an unindicted co-conspirator in the case by the Department of Justice.

David Reaboi, a national security expert and political warfare consultant, told the Free Beacon that CAIR’s main drive is to stop the Muslim Brotherhood from being designated as a terror group….

    Funny, just how many FBI agents in past have accused CAIR of having ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood? And yet they only signal out one.

    Shut CAIR down for Islamic terrorist aiding and abetting. This is a step in the right direction to prevent Islam’s designs on usurling the Constitution.

    Let CAIR shriek and kick as much as they want to. The more shrieking and shrill they get, the more extreme they get in their efforts to get their way, the more people they’ll alienate, people who otherwise might be open to listen and believe their crap.

    Cair is an umbrella group of the MB, infact created by it. as I understand. The MB is an organization to promote Islam. Islam has verses that call for mujihjen to slay the infidels…or non beleivers. The verses are found in the Quran. The commands are found in Sharia law, The Reliance of the traveler exlain sharia. You cannot change one word of the Quran…according to the book. A federal case had to use sharia law to prove it’s case and the writings of the Quran ( I think) so it is like how do you take the potato out of mashed potatoes? Or how to take Islam out of the muslim brotherhood or Cair. The question should be how to prove slander is a hate crime….prove that slander sharia law says you cannot describe or talk about Islam even if that is exactly. It’s a sticky spiderweb so how do you get rid of spider webs? Sign a document that says I did not make the spider web.?

        The radical Leftists use such words as “disgraced” FBI Agent to try and discredit the Agent before or when he speaks the truth.
        Our President has been dealing with such subversive, yellow journalism constantly in efforts to try and delegitimatize his office as President.
        Typical radical Lefties when someone stomps on their revolutionary plans.

    CAIR & MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD should both be Designated as Terrorist Groups.
    Both Groups of Terrorists are in our Federal Government & slinking around the WH.
    Senator Cruz is a Brave Man, who is willing to Stand up to CAIR & MB.
    The Bill to designate MB as Terrorists is LONG OVERDUE!

    • underbed cat says

      Jan 28, 2017 at 6:45 pm

      I agree berengaria….Senator Cruz is brave…and both groups were an influence in the last administration….a welcome guest you might say that should never have any access to security data. Just operatiing Obama care certainly to me was not a good idea as far as personal data safety would be concerned, due to tries to terror groups.

      Long over due, immigration control long overdue, identifying the enemy long over due.

    CAIR is terrorist connected, most likely it is kept afloat by Muslims who won’t openly practice terrorism, but will financially contribute to schemes of terrorism to any organization involved in covertly generating it.
    There can be no doubt that Islam’s theme is conquest and conversion under threat of violence or death.
    Is it any wonder that CAIR is behind propaganda that demonizes a constitutional republic and its functions? Is it an accident that universities and colleges have highly active Muslim student organizations who aim to break the spirit of Jewish students in accordance with directions from the koran concerning Jews.
    Then, if it is not Jews targeted, the Muslim students consider it is their right to harass,anyone who disagrees with their agenda, which is not American ,but reflects Muslim Brotherhood schemes.born in Saudi Arabia.

      CAIR is cover for the plans of the Muslim Brotherhood to dominate the US. Here is an excerpt out of the Explanatory Memorandum:

      4- Understanding the role of the Muslim Brother in North America:
      The process of settlement is a “Civilization-Jihadist Process” with all the word means. The
      Ikhwan 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 so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious
      over all other religions. Without this level of understanding, we are not up to this challenge and
      have not prepared ourselves for Jihad yet. It is a Muslim’s destiny to perform Jihad and work
      wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes, and there is no escape from that
      destiny except for those who chose to slack. But, would the slackers and the Mujahedeen be
      equal.

      Must Read: pdf of the full memorandum: https://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/20.pdf

    Their goal is to destroy America from within while being protected and nurtured by the Americans who take them in and twisting the Constitution to their advantage. Sounds exactly like the parasitic wasp lava that destroyed the caterpillar from within while being protected and nurtured inside the caterpillar’s body.

    A constitution conform Islam should hold the following obligations:
    1. Renounce to establish a theocracy, with the consequence of separating Mosque and State. Power hungry opportunists will always abuse religion with personal benefit. The demise of the secular state of Pakistan and Turkey, and the degrading security of non-Muslims in Indonesia was always paired with corrupt politicians courting Islamism in order to keep power and continuing to get the benefits of corruption.
    2. Renounce to convert people using compulsion and repression.
    3. Renounce the law of apostasy, recognizing the right of ex-Muslims to choose another religion or none, as they see fit.
    4. Renounce to forbid Muslim women to marry men of other religions.
    5. Renounce to compel children of Muslim father to become Muslims, accepting what they freely choose to be when they become adults.
    6. Renounce the law of blasphemy.
    7. Renounce to forbid a non-Muslim to rule about Muslims
    Every Muslim organization, which does not comply to these points should be banned and their leaders deported out of the country.
    Those who really want to keep our freedom should support the small numbers of Muslim scholars committed to the above-mentioned principles, and not naively believe orthodox Muslims will be committed to those principles of tolerance. And i do not see CAIR committed to those principles.

      This is a private website, like any other we can choose what is published, so you can drop the entitlement you seem to have developed right now. Seeing as you have switched names (recently Indioviejo) your comments were sent to moderation and probably will be for a while, but all todate were allowed, just slightly delayed.

    Having gotten rid of the White House muslim-in-chief it now falls to America to once again lead the battle against tyranny – this time against the evil of Islam. The hardships to be suffered by some will never compare to the potential evil that will befall the many should America fail in this task. There can be not one ounce of compromise or accommodation. Islam will never change and as with the Nazis who we had to go all the hard way to ultimately flush them out of the sewers and bunkers under Berlin – so with Islam. Islam must be entirely destroyed – branch, trunk and roots – or this death cult will always continue to be a breeding ground for suffering, oppression and death. The left should remember that by five years after the deal they made with the muzzies to get rid of the Shah most of the leftist leaders in Iran were dead.

    Their shrieking and (pardon the pun) shirking the issue is similar to a demon possessed persons final shriek in release of the demon. There’s going to be a lot of shrieking in the next few years, I hope!
