Hamas-linked CAIR must be stunned by this, after growing accustomed to Leftist groups being eager and energetic allies, now this. And notice how, after years of calling itself a civil rights organization, it is now claiming to be a religious group, in order to deflect SEIU’s charges.
“CAIR was formed in 1994 under the auspices of working to promote social, legal and political activism among Muslims in America.”
In reality, “CAIR was incorporated by three leaders of the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP) — Nihad Awad, Omar Ahmad, and Rafeeq Jaber. Mousa Abu Marzook, the current deputy political chief of Hamas, served on the board of directors of IAP in 1989 and provided the group with $490,000. IAP, which is now defunct, was long a central player in Hamas’ U.S. support network while CAIR’s future founders controlled IAP. A 2001 Immigration and Naturaliza tion Service (INS) memo extensively documented IAP’s support for Hamas and noted that the ‘facts strongly suggest’ that IAP is “part of Hamas’ propaganda apparatus.’”
Over the years the group has had to fend off numerous charges that it is pursuing an Islamist agenda.”
Indeed. CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. CAIR officials 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 about how Islamic law should be imposed in the U.S. (Ahmad denies this, but the original reporter stands by her story.) 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 virtually every anti-terror measure that has been proposed or implemented and has been declared a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates. A CAIR operative recently called for the overthrow of the U.S. government.
“Labor group levels charges of union busting against Muslim rights organization,” by Andrew O’Reilly, Fox News, April 21, 2017:
The nation’s largest Muslim advocacy organization has been hit with charges of union busting amid a row with a labor union attempting to organize its Washington, D.C., staff.
The Maryland-based Service Employees International Union Local 500 filed a charge of unfair labor practices against the Council on American-Islamic Relations — alleging that the Islamic civil rights group denied union organizers access to the workplace, made threatening and coercive statements to workers ahead of a planned organizing vote and fired at least three employees for attempting to organize workers.
The charges — which delayed the scheduled Monday workplace organizing vote by CAIR’s staff scheduled — were filed with the National Labor Relations Board, the United States main federal labor law enforcement agency. The filings were posted on the NLRB’s website, but the actual complaint from the SEIU Local 500 has not been made public.
A spokesman for SEIU Local 500 told Fox News that the filing and the delay of the vote on Monday was necessary because of the atmosphere of “intimidation and fear” at CAIR.
“The vote was postponed because there is so much union busting going on over there that it is impossible to have a fair election,” said SEIU Local 500 spokesman Christopher Honey. “The whole things seems totally antithetical to what they do with their work at CAIR.”
In a statement provided to Fox News, CAIR called the charges leveled against the organization “meritless” and said it “strongly supports the organized labor movement.” The communications director at CAIR, Ibrahim Hooper, did not answer Fox News’ question of whether or not the organization supported its own workers unionizing and instead referred back to CAIR’s statement.
“CAIR has remained neutral throughout this process and respects the free choice of employees,” the statement said. “We look forward to the election going forward as soon as possible.”
CAIR was formed in 1994 under the auspices of working to promote social, legal and political activism among Muslims in America. Over the years the group has had to fend off numerous charges that it is pursuing an Islamist agenda.
While SEIU Local 500 asserts that they filed charges and delayed the vote because of intimidation tactics on the part of CAIR management, Hooper implied that the union wanted a delay because they didn’t have enough votes to actually unionize. If successful, SEIU Local 500 would represent between 17 and 20 non-management employees at CAIR’s Washington D.C. office.
“The vote was not stopped by any action on our part,” Hooper said. “There is only one reason I believe the union would want to delay the vote.”
SEIU Local 500 attests that last October they begin the push to unionize after being approached by CAIR employees who told the union they had a majority of employees in support of going that route.
“We went in with the majority of cards on our side,” Honey said.
CAIR has argued to the NLRB that it is a religious organization and exempt from the National Labor Relations Act. But earlier this month, a regional administrator at the NLRD disagreed when ruling that CAIR was “more akin to a secular civil rights group” and therefore its workers were free to unionize – a ruling that CAIR has so far rejected….

The white dude is scary looking.
These guys seem like anti christs thru and thru
somehistory says
They are *anti-Christs* through and through.

I sometime wonder if the muslims biggest secret, is that they are aware they are worshipping and serving satan – it really would not surprise me at all.

Interesting, interesting. Now remind me, how did they get Al Capone?

People in the seiu have the opportunity to first hand, unfilteredly, see cair for what it is…if they will meld 2 facts they have direct access to: 1. the threats, coercion, firings which they know happened (i am, on the other hand, just relying on someone telling me that’s true) and 2. cair saying it “strongly supports the organized labor movement.” If you put those 2 together you must revise this thought: “The whole thing seems totally antithetical to what they do with their work at CAIR.” Yes, antithetical, so you must have the wrong idea of what they actually do.
It’s been a few years since uae designated cair as a terrorist org. Why hasn’t the united states?
did you know that the society for professional journalists (spj), est 1909, with a mission to promote and defend the first amendment guarantees of free speech and press, with 9000+ member journalists, has hooked up with cair in a program called muslimedia? It’s happening as we speak. SPJ, with the help of cair, will pay people to get mosques to host and provide halal meals to journalists and anyone else who wants to come, to learn how a journalist SHOULD report on muslims. For example should you use the term “Islamic terrorist” or is that offensive; should you mention the faith of a source….and etc.

When they want to keep noses out of their barracks and offices, and when they wish to keep from paying any taxes, they are *religious.*
When they go after businesses so workers can refuse to handle beer or pork and the women can wear scarves…even dirty ones in surgery, they are *civil rights* …only for moslims, of course.
When moslims are being questioned about crimes, they are *legal counsel.*
When they want to infiltrate schools, they are *cultural.*
Sooner or later, they will be tripped up. Maybe this is the sooner…actually feels like later, it’s taken so long.
somehistory says
And…they are fighting the union, but don’t have anything to do with the delay of the vote.

Cracks appear to be showing in the Leftist-Islamist Alliance. However, I presume the fissures will be resolved soon, the alliance will carry on with its goal of undermining and subverting our country from within.
Here is how the Leftist-Islamist Alliance operates on college campuses. Very important article in the Stanford Review.

A religious political group? Methinks not.

Well, the proverb says “each stick has two ends.” Perhaps it is high time to use THE OTHER stick’s end to mercilessly fight Mohammedan perverts and inbreeding bastards with the weapons they love so much to use against us. That would be interesting: “use their own hands to destroy their miserable (Islamic) house from within” and end that cancer once and for all.
