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.) CAIR chapters frequently distribute pamphlets telling Muslims not to cooperate with law enforcement. 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.
This unsavory gang of thugs and jihad enablers should not be allowed anywhere near any public schools. But that would, of course, be “Islamophobic.”
“Islamophobia” is a propaganda term designed to manipulate people into thinking it wrong to oppose jihad terror. It operates by conflating vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims, which are never justified, with honest analysis of the motivating ideology behind jihad terror.
“CAIR Conducted Sensitivity Training for Philadelphia Teachers,” by John Rossomando, IPT News, October 11, 2017:
Philadelphia’s public school system allowed the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) to conduct sensitivity training for its teachers last year, CAIR press releases and school district documents obtained by the Investigative Project on Terrorism show.
CAIR attorneys conducted a presentation for educators on Election Day, focusing on Islamophobia and the civil rights of Muslim students, a November press release said. The seminar was described as the first in a series of planned workshops on those issues.
“In the current political environment, Muslim American students are facing increased rates of bullying, emotional abuse, physical threats, and verbal epithets due to their faith, race, or ethnicity,” CAIR Philadelphia said in the release.
CAIR Philadelphia provides zero evidence to support this assertion.
Still, the director of the school system’s Multilingual Family Support Center argued that, “We need CAIR helping our schools.”
Asheq Fazlullah, a member of CAIR Philadelphia’s executive committee, and then-CAIR attorney Ryan Houldin conducted the Nov. 8 training, a school district email shows.
For a subsequent session, Fazlullah and Houldin would discuss “issues of diversity, equity, and fairness” at a January 3 professional development day, Colette Langston, principal at Philadelphia’s Swenson Arts and Technology High School, wrote in an email to teachers. The morning seminar was called, “Cultural Sensitivity and Diversity Workshop #1 Topic: Islamophobia.”
The school district did not provide course materials in response to the IPT’s public records request. School district officials did not respond to queries as to whether they conduct sensitivity training for other religious groups including Christians, Jews, Sikhs, or Hindus.
The school district’s reliance on CAIR could raise constitutional issues because the group’s executive director has described CAIR as a religious ministry.
Nihad Awad, CAIR’s executive director, testified before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) last spring that CAIR was a religious organization whose primary purpose is to spread Islam.
“[Awad] testified at length about the Employer’s role in conducting educational services in the fields of religion, culture, education, society, and history concerning Islamic issues. These services are provided to both Muslims and non-Muslims alike. [Awad] described the Employer’s role in explaining the Islamic faith itself,” Charles L. Posner, regional director of the National Labor Relations Board, wrote in an April 7 ruling.
Awad’s acknowledgement prompted the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) to publicly back away from a CAIR-sponsored anti-bullying program. The Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund (FCDF) was suing to bar CAIR from influencing public school programming.
San Diego’s anti-bullying plan violated California law, along with students’ 1st and 14th amendment rights because CAIR is a religious organization and because the program gave Muslim students special treatment, the lawsuit said.
Those arguments could apply equally to Philadelphia’s public schools. “The San Diego case is far from over, so there is no doubt it could have precedential value in a legal challenge to Philadelphia schools’ partnership with CAIR,” FCDF Executive Director Daniel Piedra told the IPT.
School districts may not aid one religion, one religion over another, or religion over non-religion, an American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) legal bulletin said. It cites the seminal 1972 U.S. Supreme Court case, Lemon v. Kurtzman.
“Under the so-called ‘Lemon test,’ a court must inquire (1) whether the government’s action has a secular or a religious purpose; (2) whether the primary effect of the government’s action is to advance or endorse religion; and (3) whether the government’s policy or practice fosters an excessive entanglement between government and religion,” the ACLU bulletin said.
In the San Diego case, FCDF argued that CAIR’s definition of Islamophobia is too vague and that what it considers bullying could ensnare legitimate criticisms of Islamic practice. FCDF also asserted that the SDUSD’s “anti-bullying” program unconstitutionally established Muslims “as a privileged group within the school community.”…

Islamophobia – fear and dislike of Islam. Considering the tsunami of violence, hatred and slaughter being perpetrated by Muslims all around the world why wouldn’t people be afraid of Muslims? Why wouldn’t people criticize all the terrorist acts committed by Muslims? The al Quds hate parade through Toronto would scare anyone watching Muslims call for the death of Jews while they carry the terrorist flags of Hezbollah and Hamas. Muslims are committing genocide against Christians throughout the middle east but the media is silent. Muslims can’t even get along with each other and are killing more Muslims of different sects than infidels. Religion of peace my butt.
eagle says
I concur. Everywhere in the world, where there are Muslims and non-Muslims, there is conflict because the Muslims attack the non-Muslims. The Qur’an teaches the Muslims to make war against the unbelievers, and to subjugate them. A real example: CAIR is attempting to demonize the Burmese Buddhists for protecting their home land. It’s only after decades of Muslims attacking, robbing, raping Buddhists, killing their monks and burning their temples, that has made them campaign to send the Rohingyas Muslims back where they came from – Bangladesh. Burmese Buddhists are finding new ways to make life miserable for Muslims who have brought nothing but misery to this Buddhist country. Buddhists are fed up with Islamization, the only contribution of which, has been soaring rape, murder, and crime rates. So, they are doing whatever they have to do. America will have to learn what the Buddhists have learned in Burma.“Democracies go away when people no longer trust the very basic part of democracy, which is the ability to cast a vote for the people you want to represent you, “If they lose faith in that process, it goes away. That’s how democracies die.” This happens to be what the Muslims want!! This is what Keith Ellison, CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood want to happen so they can prop up Sharia Law in the U. S. CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood have no allegiance to America, American Law or any man made law. They only have allegiance to Allah and Sharia Law. People need to write their congress men and women, the separation of religion and state must remain separated. The Muslims consider all non-believers of their religion infidels, infidels must be subservient to the Muslims or face Sharia Law. The Muslims are expanding throughout America like a cancer. Get educated, look around the world and this country and focus on what the Muslim movement is doing. CAIR and the Muslim brotherhood is using the DNC as a pawn, taking control of America’s politics, schools and universities. Get involved.

Fear of muslims? That is exactly what the Koran COMMANDS muslims to instil in the hearts of non-muslims – “Terrorise them! Strike fear into their hearts!”
harbidoll says
“Strike Islamophobia into the hearts of the Infidel.” “Thru Islamophobia I, (Mo), have been successful.” LOL

“In the current political environment, Muslim American students are facing increased rates of bullying, emotional abuse, physical threats, and verbal epithets due to their faith, race, or ethnicity,” CAIR Philadelphia said in the release.” projection at its pinnacle. If these things are bad then why do muslims do them?
mortimer says
Philadelphia’s public school system should allow someone to present a FACT CHECK to CAIR’s supremacist propaganda… which is what it is.
Why would the Philadelphia’s public school system allow SUPREMACISTS into their schools to speak?
mortimer says
Surely, the following is the key phrase… the “program unconstitutionally established Muslims “as a privileged group within the school community.”…
I ask the Philadelphia school board and teachers WHAT IS IT THAT A SUPREMACIST WANTS?

Robert Spencer has created a formula we must all memorize:

Benedict says
“CAIR” is not even sensitive to the hate speech of the Koran and the repulsive acts and attitudes of the prophet Mohammad. It is thereby “CAIR” who is in need of sensitivity training.
gravenimage says
CAIR is definitely sensitive to this savagery, Benedict–it is just that they *like it*.
Benedict says
I don’t think so, G. You shouldn’t exclude the possibility that many well-meaning Muslims simply are deceived and seduced by a treacherous ideology.

Benedict–with all respect–I think the likelihood that those Muslims at CAIR actually know nothing about their own vile creed strains credulity.

A big thank you to all those who are involved in the fight against islamic indoctrination and global takeover in San Diego and worldwide! Keep up the good fight!

Like they said, it’s only a ploy because it holds up only one religion for their ‘goal,’ while it is Christians who are bullied in schools all the time by the worldly sinners for being ‘so holy,’ and all of that. No one comes to their defense, eh?!
And, there is more at work behind the scenes. There are global agenda networks at work here and sadly San Diego is a headquarter site for one of the biggest secret societies on the globe pushing these things, it is very satanic. I know in multiple ways about this and oppose them every chance I get!

Alarmed Pig Farmer says
So the local taxpayers pay for the schools through the school board. Then the school board brings in a guy from a terror related organization to inculcate the teachers with agitprop about a myth called Islamophobia. The idea is, of course, for the teachers to in turn to inculcate the children. Factual reality plays no role in the agitprop program.
Wellington says
Two points: 1) As I have already stated several times here at JW, anyone who seriously uses the term “Islamophobia” should not be taken seriously; 2) As I have already stated several times here at JW, the correct term in dealing with the death cult, the prototype for Nazism which is Islam, is “Islamonausea.”
I am NOT an Islamophobe. I do not fear this religion. Rather, I despise this religion, as it so deserves to be despised by anyone who understands the importance and fragility of freedom. Islam is a mortal enemy of liberty (and so many other good things like equality under the law and a true Golden Rule for all) and one knows this by now or should know it. Therefore, the correct approach to Islam is not to fear it but rather be nauseated by it, and by implication to hate it. Hence the term “Islamonausea.”
I count myself as a proud Islamonausean. Frankly, I don’t see how anyone who truly grasps the merits of liberty, and all the difficulties associated with promoting and preserving it, can be anything but an Islamonausean where Islam is concerned.
There is no reconciliation between Western concepts of freedom and the spiritual totalitarian ideology which is Islam. No reconciliation at all. Those averring otherwise are demonstrating either their ignorance or their mendacity.

Does anyone else see the absurd irony of this CAIR business, them preaching about “diversity, equity, and fairness”? It’s insane on its face, the idea that folks representing a hateful and violent creed could have anything good to say about human relations. I think it makes far more sense if muslims allowed us to give them “sensitivity training” on how to relate to us! We don’t need any special education concerning islam, we’ve seen enough of their hateful doctrines and murderous deeds to know what muslims are like.
This “cultural sensitivity” training is a product of the left’s false narrative that says the violence and bigotry muslims do is because of how we treat them, poor devils. This despite the fact they’ve been living this way for 14 centuries. And even though America and the West in general grant muslims every manner of immigrant aid and tolerance for their demonic “religion,” that’s not enough for them. They aggressively undermine our laws, disrespect our culture with insulting indifference, and kill our people. Why? Because their god commands it.
The situation has reached preposterous proportions. We conservatives are excoriated as racist bigots for our reasoned views against islam’s violent insanity. While islam, the ideology for which our people are mass murdered, is deemed a peaceful religion protected by our constitution! This is the murderous insanity of the left. It’s immoral and a crime against our people what these traitors do. CAIR isn’t trying to educate, they are trying to infiltrate. They are corrupting the moral fiber of our nation and exploiting our 1st amendment to advance islam’s conquering jihad agenda.They can call it a religion if they want, but that doesn’t change its true nature as a major incitement against our nation and freedoms. Their bigoted “religion” is the main reason the west is unraveling in fear and terror, it’s why we live in a police state, and it’s the reason every muslim country hates us. Such an ideology does not deserve “sensitivity training.” It deserves our opprobrium as a mortal enemy.
Islam has no business in our education system! NONE!
No more special treatment for musims!
Abolish CAIR, they are using religious protection to infiltrate and destroy!
Lydia says
The only thing about this that people need to be more ‘sensitive’ to is the fact that islam is a real threat!

This world will never be the same again. There are no laws anymore where Muslims have to keep too, just like us, And judges don’t hold everybody to the laws.
Democracies don’t exist any more, may be we thought they existed, but when I think about it now, they really didn’t and don’t. The USA and Canada and Australia are as bad as Europe. They all should have done something long ago.The snaky Scorpion is still very alive. And then we get run over by a horde of wild, killing people, so what can happen to us. We shall see what will happen and so will the Muslims, but America and the other countries will never look at muslims and Islam the same, …….but think,: the pitcher goes so often to the well that it comes home broken at last.

Let’s read an unfounded claim about “vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims, which are never justified”. Yes, “never”, even though it’s self-evident that governments are conspiring to aid and abet Muslims and even though it’s self-evident that THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN INNOCENT MUSLIM.
Well, why is there no right to act on our own without a permission slip? Because that would be (gasp!) vigilantism? If that is Robert’s first thought on the matter, then he needs to understand that his mind is revolving in circles.
Now, what exactly is an innocent Muslim supposed to be? There is a great deal of confusion here about the meaning of “innocent”, so it will help to bear in mind the Latin origin of the word. Dictionary.com reports that it comes from the stem of innocēns, meaning harmless. Hence an “innocent Muslim” is a harmless Muslim. Yet a Muslim is, BY ISLAM’S OWN DEFINITION, a person who strives to harm nonmuslims who reject Muhammad’s theocracy.
We need to reject Robert’s sweeping, indiscriminate condemnation of “vigilante attacks” as evidence that his morality is tye morality of a masochistic slave and useful doormat, i.e. a American cuckservative.

John Guandolo says
According to evidence presented in the largest terrorism financing trial ever successfully prosecuted in American history – US v Holy Land Foundation, Dallas 2008 – the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) was created by the US Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee (Hamas) to be a node for the designated terrorist organization Hamas. There is no question about this and it has been reaffirmed on numerous occasions by the Department of Justice and the FBI to members of Congress and others. Understanding the Threat has put together a factual/evidentiary report that is simple to read entitled “CAIR is Hamas” (https://www.understandingthethreat.com/cair-is-hamas-2/) which we encourage all of you to share.
As far as the Philadelphia school board and those involved anywhere in America with bringing Hamas (doing business as CAIR) into their school, business, etc, they should be sued in civil court for reckless endangerment or a similar local/state cause of action, and should be criminally investigated for material support of a terrorist organization where applicable.
Its time to go on the offensive and take the fight to the enemy and put freedom back on the offensive where it belongs.

TRUMP I hope will at least EXPOSE C.A.I.R as the face of the Muslim Brotherhood & have their AGENDA published in every US News paper & posted on the NEWS & INTERNET !
It is NOT a HIDDEN DOCUMENT & so few know or understand the intent is is frightening !
The WEST DIES have a NASTY open wound problem that HIDES behind the Freedom of speech /Expression tag & that is the PORNOGRAPHY INDUSTRY !
This is so horrific in many quarters & is so wide spread that C.A.I.R & others can point to this as an example of the immorality of the WEST & they are RIGHT !
We need to look at our own behaviour & weaknesses to see how & why we are actually LOSING GROUND FAST & we are !
ISLAMOPHOBIA NEEDS TO BE EXPOSED AS A VERY CLEVER CLOAK BEHIND WHICH ISLAM HIDES TO AVOID INSPECTION & ANY CRITICISM !
CANADA or at least MUSLIM JUSTIN & His Muslim Brotherhood Liberals have already decided to introduce blasphemy laws protecting ISLAM Exclusively & this is why the Pakistani Woman why introduced M-103 ( a motion) & lied extensively to do so was instantly applauded by the Taliban & others in Pakistan for having brought Canada closer to Sharia ,
MUSLIM JUSTIN & His Liberals are in Favour of Sharia & this is evident as they LIE about its intention & acute danger for Democracy !
The very fact of allowing this C.A.I .R into schools to preach utter LIES is a HUGE MISTAKE & one that will be VERY HARD to now turn around !
As Douglas Murray stated – These people are serious & it is high time we were TO !
