Pentagon yields to Hamas-linked CAIR demand to ‘review’ counter-terror training

Apr 27, 2017 10:12 am By Robert Spencer

“Air Force chaplain Walid Habash has been assigned to begin reviewing slides from Dunleavy’s lesson material later this week. Habash, however, Sperry reported, received his Islamic education from a Muslim Brotherhood school in Virginia, the Graduate School of Islamic and Social Sciences, which was raided by federal agents in 2002 as part of a post-9/11 terrorism investigation.”

This is unconscionable, and a clear sign that the Trump administration has done nothing to drain the Pentagon swamp. Whether it is unaware of what is going on at the Pentagon, or unable to counter it, remains unclear.

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.

Hamas-linked CAIR should be nowhere near the Pentagon, much less dictating demands for Pentagon dhimmis to rush to fulfill. And a Muslim Brotherhood-educated Air Force chaplain is going to review Dunleavy’s material. If anyone is unsure what Habash’s judgment will be, I have a bridge to sell you.

“Pentagon yields to CAIR demand to ‘review’ counter-terror training,” by Art Moore, World Net Daily, April 27, 2017:

Responding to a demand by the controversial Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Pentagon will formally review the content of a counter-terrorism training program taught to special forces by a private contractor.

As WND reported earlier this month, Patrick Dunleavy, a former deputy inspector general for the New York State Department of Corrections, is an instructor for a course in the United States Air Force Special Operations School called “The Dynamics of International Terrorism.”

CAIR, which has been accused by the Justice Department of supporting terrorism and is currently banned from outreach activities by the FBI, charged Dunleavy is “Islamophobic” and holds “personal prejudice against Islam and Muslims.”

Now, reports Paul Sperry in FrontPage magazine, Dunleavy says he fears his course might not get a fair hearing, because the Pentagon has assigned the review to a Muslim military chaplain who graduated from a radical Saudi-funded Islamic school raided by federal agents after 9/11 on suspicion of terrorist activities.

Dunleavy told Sperry the Pentagon’s original choice for the job was an even more radical military with ties to an imam with a history of ministering to Muslims later convicted of terrorism.

CAIR has been at the forefront of an effort under the Obama administration to “purge” the military and federal government of “anti-Muslim” subject-matter experts and materials.

Dunleavy, the author of the book “The Fertile Soil of Jihad: Terrorism’s Prison Connection,” has testified as an expert witness before the House Committee on Homeland Security concerning the threat of Islamic radicalization in the U.S. prison system. He has served as a consultant for the FBI and the International Association of Chiefs of Police on the National Data Exchange Program. He also has been a featured speaker at the Army’s Counter Terrorism Conference.

But CAIR, regarded by the FBI as a Hamas front in the U.S., was designated by the Justice Department as an unindicted co-conspirator in a terror-funding plot and by the United Arab Emirates as a terrorist organization.

According to evidence entered in the terror-financing case, CAIR was founded by figures associated with Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, the worldwide movement that has stated its intent to transform the U.S. into an Islamic state. More than a dozen CAIR leaders have been charged or convicted of terrorism-related crimes.

CAIR has sued the authors of a WND Books exposé, “Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That’s Conspiring to Islamize America,” which documented the group’s radical ties. A trial in the case is expected to commence this fall.

Air Force officials already have reviewed all of Dunleavy’s presentations and told him they found nothing offensive.

Earlier this month, Dunleavy told WND in an email he has never had complaints from students.

“I was somewhat perplexed by the CAIR accusation,” he said. “Having taught a class on ‘Prison Radicalization’ in the USAF Special Operations School’s Dynamics in International Terrorism for over five years to a group of students which included members of every branch of the U.S. military, FBI special agents, and other federal law enforcement agencies, there has never been any negative reviews of my class presentation, nor were any offensive statements or material found in my lesson plan after review by the USAF at Hurlburt Field.

“Unfortunately, ‘labeling’ is now a convenient close-minded way to besmirch someone without ever actually hearing them speak,” Dunleavy said.

In a March 17 letter to Lt. Gen. Marshall Webb, CAIR noted that, in 2012, then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey ordered the U.S. military to “scour its training material to ensure it doesn’t contain anti-Islamic content.”

“Mr. Dunleavy’s public statements and professional affiliations indicate that he is part of the issue Dempsey was trying to resolve,” CAIR said.

Radical education

Sperry reported that after Webb received the CAIR letter he ordered Special Operations School commandant Lt. Col. Christopher Portele to initiate a review. Dunleavy believes the top brass are largely unaware of the extent of CAIR’s terrorism ties.

“I’m sure they don’t have a complete knowledge of CAIR or other Muslim Brotherhood groups,” he told Sperry.

Air Force chaplain Walid Habash has been assigned to begin reviewing slides from Dunleavy’s lesson material later this week.

Habash, however, Sperry reported, received his Islamic education from a Muslim Brotherhood school in Virginia, the Graduate School of Islamic and Social Sciences, which was raided by federal agents in 2002 as part of a post-9/11 terrorism investigation….

    It is very fashionable to employ muslims.
    Theresa May put a muslim in charge of reporting on Sharia courts in the UK.

      Two questions for Theresa May, President Trump, etc. :

      1) What is it that a supremacist wants?
      2) How far will the supremacist go to get it?

    Call the White House, or contact them online. Send this link. Tell them to do what Trump promised. Our military and intelligence agencies need to be trained by Robert Spencer, Dr. Bill Warner, Dr. David Wood, Brigitte Gabriel, Pamela Geller, Nonie Darwish, Andrew McCarthy, Raymond Ibrahim, The Glazov Gang, etc. I apologize for leaving out some of the heroes standing up for our freedoms & liberty.
    Call Congress and tell all your congresscritters, to make the Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR, and all listed orgs. in the Holy Land Foundation trial plan to destroy America from within, TERROR ORGANIZATIONS, for that’s the seditious treason they espouse.

      No, ‘ermom’ you’ve just about covered the most reliable, informed and courageous list of patriots who are best-equipped to reverse this suicidal trend, even though I’d be shocked to see the Pentagon or the larger Trump administration heed your sage and prudent advice.

      With Mattis and McMaster in charge, along with other MB operatives bending the ear of this president, something catastrophic has to happen in our nation, first, before these blind, naive and clueless politicians finally wake up.

      Why Fox news does interview these experts….something is wrong.

    PUTTING THE FOX IN CHARGE OF SECURING THE HEN HOUSE WON’T WORK!

    Without an in-depth knowledge of the TAQIYYA doctrine, the JIHAD doctrine, the KAFIR doctrine, the DHIMMI doctrine, the MISOGYNY doctrine and the TERRORISM doctrine of Islam NO POLICY-MAKER (i.e. zero, nil, nada, naught) can make REASONABLE POLICY about JIHAD TERRORISM.

    Moreover, those who enforce policy are actually unable to enforce the ridiculous policies because they do not reflect the REALITY of ISLAM or the REALITY OF JIHAD.

    The purge of information about Islam and it’s connection to desiring the caliphate ….it happened years ago….trying to make a come back of misinformation. Phil Haney video testified about the purge, Robert Spencer all the real experts knew that going to the MB would be recreations of facts to know nothing significant and to further the insurgency in my opinion.

    Conclusion of the review already drawn up.

    • Diane Harvey says

      Apr 27, 2017 at 12:03 pm

      Dunleavy should do two things in rebuttal.

      1. Document every criticism leveled by the Muslim reviewer, with chapter and verse, every position he has taken with respect to Muslim behavior. As Robert has demonstrated time and again, this will be easy to do.

      2. Demand of the Muslim reviewer chapter and verse of his various criticisms as to why his {Dunleavy’s) positions are erroneous. This will not be easy for the Muslim reviewer to do.

    • Shmooviyet says

      Apr 27, 2017 at 2:17 pm

      Agreed!
      Is this chaplain another card-carrying SoA?

    When a police officer is accused of wrongdoing, and the police department investigates, the public complains that it is *policing* itself. Many police departments set up civilian boards to review complaints.
    Police departments don’t bring in gang members to edit the gang unit’s training materials, and the SEC doesn’t bring in people like Martha Stewart or Bernard Madoff to edit material on stopping ponzi schemes or insider trading.

    When moslims complain about being investigated, or that words are used that make it obvious they are the most likely suspects in terror attacks, they get to come in and make sure that no words are used that reveal how involved they are in terror, to what extent they are the guilty ones, and to have anyone who knows the truth to be released from contracts or fired.

    That is so much worse, more dangerous, than police department policing themselves.

    If enough people complained about the foxes being let in to the hen house to make sure all the watch dogs are locked up and muzzled, would it make a difference? Only if all of the foxes who are in charge of allowing more foxes in and muzzling the dogs were eliminated in some way.

    How stupid is this? The man is immersed in the koran, it is what he preaches, he cannot be anything but subjective. The koran allows no deviation from its instructions, whereas Christian Chaplains would be able to exercise flexibility. An Islam-centered Chaplain is going to remain centered in his own faith, from which the koran makes no bones over its Muslim superiority over all else.

    Plainly, this is no more than a concession to pacify Islamic beliefs. When a Muslim deviates from the instructions of the koran,even trying to demonstrate impartiality, he’s on a course of apostasy, a death sentence in Islam. Yet an armed U.S. military service yields to the unindicted terrorist co-conspirator CAIR as if that organization cannot be questioned concerning its schemes for Islam in the U.S.A.
    What bone-headed military leader has the credentials to disregard CAIR and Islam’s known activities in the U.S.A. and how does this issue escape hard questioning of the Joint Chiefs?

    The armed services act via “Chain of Command” and orders come from top down. How does a man indoctrinated by a Muslim Brotherhood School in Virginia rate rank, experience, and impartial logic to review military counter-terrorism training? Good Lord, the inmates have been given the keys to the asylum! This is as insane a deal as Obama bending over for Iran!

    I have been watching the Muslim Brotherhood and all their affiliated terrorist groups hiding behind names that reflect ‘peace’ and inclusiveness. I have seen since the early nineties how the MB has grown and infiltrated all levels of government….the MB are ‘dictating’ to the US government how amend or rescind security operations, techniques to weaken the government. I cannot understand why the US government accepts these radicals into the depths of the US government agencies….the fox is now in the hen house. Let drop the politically correct narrative and expose all Muslim terrorist activites before the US becomes a European tragedy….as a Canadian I fear our own government as it accepts a member of parliament (Agra Khalids) proposal to enact Bill M103….this is the beginning of Islamic Sharia in Canada….we will not stand idly by a watch North America fall to Sharia….We must fight, our very freedoms are at stake. Keep speaking out…you bring hope to us all.PS I must remain anonymous as I have received hate calls and threats. Thank You

    An Islamic chaplain. I wonder about peoples intelligence. Haven’t you learned? Have you cut of all funds Islamic organisations Mosque, Universities , schools etc. A muslim will always be a moslim and always stays one. I think Mortimer and others have explained the koran so many times and they still haven’t learned. How can you put Islamic people on such “delicate” posts.
    We all know that money talks and there are companies who easily do business with those terrible Arabic countries, North Korea etc. They should be brought to court too.
    Governments are warned enough and choose not to listen to anyone. So now it is their turn to get us out of this mess. Unless something happens to them. They are awake already for a long time. They understand it perfectly, but they made their choice.

    President Trump is all hat and no cattle so far. He realistically has about another year before before he needs to start worrying about Congressional races. He has pissed away his initial advantage, and those of us who have low expectations are beginning to feel justified.

    You could change muslims in all counter terror manuals to smilsum (muslims spelt backwards) this would take the heat off the counter terrorist forces and give the muslims another reason to go to court or play the victim,,,,, again,

    (whine, whine, whine they spelt our name backwards)
    (those mean counter terrorist operators are calling us names)
    whine, whine, whine

    A very interesting legal scenario ……………

    Like giving Hitler the role of Judge in the Nuremberg trials. The western world long ago sold its soul to the Saudis and their ilk in return for oil and trade. The price included the end of western civilisation, but hey, every civilisation comes to an end eventually. So much for “social evolution”. We are going back into the Dark Ages.

    This is being done despite the fact that it is extremely dangerous, probably because money changed hands somewhere.
