No surprise here, except to the terminally blinkered, and of course, there are so very many of those. Not just this time, but many times in the past CAIR officials have refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. 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.
“CAIR leader refuses to denounce Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood,” by Leo Hohmann, WND, November 20, 2017:
The Minnesota leader of the Council on American-Islamic Relations was asked during a community meeting Saturday if he would renounce the terrorist organization Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.
He refused.
The event at the St. Cloud Public Library was part of CAIR’s ongoing “anti-Islamophobia” campaign that it launched in the wake of the election one year ago of President Donald Trump.
About 30 people attended the event Saturday, and they were told Muslims are on the verge of being rounded up and placed in internment camps, just like the Japanese were in 1942 under an executive order signed by President Franklin Roosevelt.
Titled “Japanese-American Incarceration: Could it Happen Again?” the event began with a presentation by a professor of African-American studies at the University of Minnesota, followed by comments from Jaylani Hussein, executive director of CAIR Minnesota, and other panelists.
Professor Yuichiro Onishi said it was his belief that the U.S. was one “trigger” event away from Muslims being rounded up. He explained that America has a history of using immigration laws as a pretext for “state-sanctioned racism,” citing the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the immigration acts of 1927 and 1924, which limited the number of Asians migrating to the U.S.
Jaylani Hussein then presented the Somali refugee community in Minnesota as victims of the latest American racism, taking the form of anti-Muslim bigotry equal to that leveled against the Chinese and Japanese leading up to World War II.
Then came the question-and-answer period.
Local resident Elizabeth Baklaich reminded the professor that America “already had that trigger moment.”
“That trigger moment was 9/11. There were 3,000 people who died,” she said. “… [T]hat was a direct attack that was followed up by war, and if we were going to make this same maneuver against Muslims, it would have happened. … I just wanted to bring that up because I think that’s a fundamental flaw in your thesis,” Baklaich said.
To Hussein, she directed another question.
“I heard you talk about fear Jaylani, and there’s one thing you could do very easily that would help alleviate a tremendous amount of fear in this community,” Baklaich said.
She reminded him of the FBI evidence presented in the Holy Land Foundation terror-financing trial of 2007 that showed CAIR is a front group for Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.
“If you want to be our friend, and you want to be part of the community, and want us to accept you more, and work with you and be less fearful of what’s coming in, and what’s going on, are you willing to condemn both Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood?” she asked.
Carrying a ‘Big Stick’
In a rambling response that quickly morphed into a stern lecture before ending with a hostile rebuke, Hussein refused to condemn either Hamas or the Brotherhood.
Here is an excerpt of his response, captured on audio tape:
CAIR is the largest civil rights and civil liberties organization. We have 35 chapters across the United States. We’re an American organization. We are a grassroots organization, supported and funded by people locally, made up of people who look like you and look like me. I understand that my organization comes under threat and know why we come under attack. It’s not because of our silence. It’s because we carry a big stick, we remind people of the Constitution. We remind people that American Muslims are exactly like everyone else. And we’re not gonna allow anyone to threaten us, or create the fact that Muslims have to hide, and so we are an organization just like any other organization. We get audited. We get reviewed, we are a state-accredited organization and so if you think we are a terrorist organization then call the FBI and let them know, and let them investigate.
Hussein accused the woman of using the “talking points” of well-funded “anti-Muslim organizations” that spread “lies” about Muslims across the U.S.
Another woman interjected with the same question for Hussein.
“Do you renounce Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood?” she can be heard saying on the audio recording.
“I am a civil rights organization in the state of Minnesota,” Hussein continued.
“That means no. … So you do support Hamas?” she asked again.
“The questions you are asking me, you didn’t come up with them. You downloaded them from somewhere,” Hussein said.
“So what? I can see the trial [documents] right here. I’ve got it right here,” she said.
“That’s good for you,” said a now totally irritated Hussein. “Why don’t you turn those [documents] over to the authorities and let them actually do the work?”
“They already have them,” the woman answered.
“And they’re not going to do anything,” said Hussein.
“Obama would not let it proceed. He would not let it go forward,” she said.
“Thank you very much,” Hussein said, ending the interchange without ever answering the question of whether CAIR supports or condemns Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood….

Minnesota: CAIR top dog refuses to denounce Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood
……………………….
This should surprise no one.
Yet, all too many still consider CAIR a “civil rights group”.
Terry Gain says
Yes graven image, but CAIR is a civil rights group. Concerned About Islamic Rights.
gravenimage says
If by “Islamic rights” you mean the “right” to persecute Infidels and eventually take over, you are quite correct. Not what most people think of when they think of civil rights.
mortimer says
Agree with GI. Jihad is the process of removing the human rights and civil liberties of women and dirty kafirs.
The twin motives of Islam are 1) misogyny and 2) religious bigotry.
The emotional subtext of Islam is SADOMASOCHISM.
John Forbes says
C.A.I.R IS THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IN THE US & IS DEDICATED TO EXPANDING ISLAM IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE, IMPOSING SHARIA & ENDING DEMOCRACY & I SIMPLY CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE US TOLERATES THIS ORGANIZATION?
THEY ARE THE QUINTESSENTIAL FIFTH COLUMN & NEED TO BE CRUSHED & REMOVED!
JW_Reader says
Sure, CAIR is a civil rights organization!! Whenever, A terrorist blow up things, these CAIR guys show up to defend the terrorists families. It is always the rights of the terrorists and their families that is important to these muslims. I was watching a BBC debate. A so called muslima civil right activist was complaining that Osama Bin Ladens rights were violated as his body was not handed over to his family members. She was complaining that Osama was unarmed so he should not have been killed. The disgusting part is that some in the audience were clapping to those comments.
max w says
Cair supports and defends terrorist they would denounce them.
p bay says
what civil rights in a muslim country is there?
eagle nest says
Listen to this and pass this around. Scary stuff. http://www.worldviewweekend.com/radio/audio/brannon-howse-november-16-2017
Graeme Howarth says
and all it took would have been a simple “Yes”.
Shmoovie says
Snarky, arrogant, defensive– he forgot to wave around that ‘1.7 billion’ figure.
*Applause* for Ms. Baklaich for reminding him that not all residents are unaware leftist tools, or willing to be intimidated into silence by lame accusations of phobia and intolerance. Too bad she didn’t get to ask him about the dread backlash..
abad says
All those Somali Moslems should return to They really have no place in the United States of America.Somalia and fight for their own nation.
Ren says
“CAIR top dog refuses to denounce Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.”
People don’t denounce their accomplices.
JAT 349 says
The first residents of the internment camps should be all the leaders of cair.
gravenimage says
What do we want internment camps for? Deport , deport, deport.
JAT 349 says
That is easier said than done.
JAT 349 says
Deport them where?
Most of them were born over here.
mortimer says
Pay them to leave.
mummymovie says
Manzanar, Topaz Mountain… there is an equivalency; that’s why CAIR and the civ-jihadis are very successfully co-opting the history of Japanese Americans and getting them to speak on campuses, just like they are African Americans. They have daughters and granddaughters of WWII internment camp residents warning that muslims are next.
I wonder when the hijra was tailor-made to work us? 10 years ago? 15?
Whenever it was, they sure have very effectively managed to infiltrate.
And now that they’re two generations deep -thanks to slow-drip institutionalized multiculturalism, sanctioned islamic sexualization of children, child marriage, the human reproductive system, and birthright citizenship- we cannot deport.
The hijra is upon us, and crawling right up our asses. Minnesota is the first islamic colony of the Untied States. Maine or Utah next.
I hope Texans are really as tough as they always claimed to be.
STOP THE HIJRA.
END REFUJIHAD.
NO MUSLIMS CAN BE RESCUED UNTIL THEY ARE RESCUED FROM ISLAM.
mummymovie says
This is a civil rights issue:
Americans must truly stand for freedom of religion, and more importantly, freedom FROM it:
CIVIL RIGHTS FOR APOSTATES.
Suebe says
How can they even say they are people that look like everyday Americans? No they can’t they are not ordinary Americans because if they were then they would be against the enemy of the people. They want to change America to Islam. Internment camps won’t happen again. All enemies should be deported. This country has become to liberal for it’s own safety. We have allowed the devils demons to enter into this country. Notice who they hate the most. Jews, and Christians, so tell me who is the god that they worship. If you don’t know then you don’t know who their prophet was talking to. They say God, but the prophet said it was an angel, and who is the god angel. SATAN
Georg says
Yes, Americans are endlessly racist and about the round up Muslims; it explains why after 9/11 we elected Barack Hussein Obama.
Guest says
“We remind people of the constitution…” don’t use examples of something you don’t truly believe in
Georg says
Here is an excerpt of [Jaylani Hussein’s] response, captured on audio tape:

Even though the question wasn’t answered, it is good to see CAIR put on the spot by a person.
Georg says
Yep. That woman made a lot of sense–practically irrefutably so–and therefore we see the familiar Red-Green tactic of proceeding as though she didn’t say what she said. It’s a pretty good sign one is winning a debate.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Mr Spencer, why should CAIR denounce freedom fighters like Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood?CAIR has already denounced and condemned deadly evil Isis funded and groomed by your evil United States, evil state of Israhell and evil Saudi Royal Family the axis of evils.
Eur says
Muslim brotherhood freedom fighters? Hamas freedom fighters while it’s goal is to establish an Islamic state? Are you kidding us? We can argue about whether an armed group is a resistance group or terrorists .. OK … but hamas is a theocratic militia that only recognizes the Koranic authority in such a way that it is impossible for non-Muslim to have visibility… The abuses of the Israeli government is no excuse to call things by their name. Hamas is a group of fanatical assassins who lobotomize children to commit suicide who have installed the culture of death and hatred. Hamas does not recognize individual freedom, religious freedom, democracy …, , they are a band of fascists. The Muslim brotherhood is the germ of political Islam, which has originated al qaeda, isis … they are fascists, Nazis, Islamic supremacists. They should be cornered at one end of the planet.
MFritz says
Makes sense. If you work for terrorist financiers all day long you don’t denounce their “workforce” organisations.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Mfritz, it is your evil United States who is working for terrorists for funding and arming Isis in collaboration with evil state of Israhell and evil Saudi Royal family to murder and people alive . Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood are not terrorists, they are freedom fighters against fascist Zionists.
Georg says
Go sit on the floor and eat with your hands. But don’t forget to thank your Pedophile before you do.
mummymovie says
It’s nice to have some diversity and dissent here on J-dub,
but can we get someone a tad more advanced than Ibrahim?
I’m not the smartest guy in the realm of counter-jihad, but where did you find this fellow?!!
The lack of dissenting opinion here tells you that most of what muslims who check in here have to say probably amount largely one-dimensional insults and death threats.
If there’s a hell, your friends are certainly going to it, Ib.
I’d enjoy a cup of tea with you though, little buddy, anytime.
Big up yaself!
Westman says
Is your email address actually ibrahimitace673@gmail.com? In the US or somewhere else? Your command of English and excessive cut&paste seems to locate you in a foregn country.
Certainly you must be aware that we support Israel, a group that was given their own land, as described by Allah, in your own Qur’an:
“..And We said after Pharaoh to the Children of Israel, “Dwell in the land, and when there comes the promise of the Hereafter, We will bring you forth in [one] gathering.”(17:104)
Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood are the evil ones, fighting against Allah’s own decree.
MFritz says
Please don’t feed the troll!
Eur says
In fact, they would agree to create Muslim militias in all the western countries where there is already a Muslim presence. Islam is not a religion.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Eur, it is pagan filthy Christianity which is not a monotheist religion, because Christians worship the Satan they call Holy Spirit as part of mithraist god invented in the year 325 AD at Nicea during the reign of Constantine. Are you aware?
Georg says
Yes, we are aware incest leads to problems like you.
mummymovie says
LOL!
duh swami says
Allah the god of Islam was invented in the 600’s…
Charles says
allah, the “god” of izlam is none other then SATAN himself!
Sheepsqueezer says
Ibrahim , the quiran, which I have read from cover to cover, is co- written by satan himself. Proof : hadith 25 .112 (approximately, as this is from memory) “And allah’s apostle said , There is not one here among you that does not have an attache’ from among the djinn”. The double negative is in this line to obscure. Remove the double negative and you have “And allah’s apostle said, Everyone here has an attache’ from among the djinn” ( demons). Food for critical thinking.
ronyvo says
Ibrahim, I can understand your utter ignorance when living in the corrupt stone aged Islamic countries. Wake up you are living, I assume, in the civilized world, which you people (Muslims) are trying to corrupt.
Educate yourself, like the millions upon Millions of apostate Muslims who converted to the true faith Christianity.
Come to Jesus and I promise you that you will feel PEACE you have never felt before. We don’t have the horrible Islamic punishment for apostate. Feel FREE to change as you want.
Charles says
CAIR?
Isn’t that the associated muslum CRIMINALS and terrorists?
Hummm…..
Seems like Prez. Trump needs to have those fools put in PRISON!
And their offices burned out. Just for public safety of course.
Politicianphobia says
I bra him, I like the line “Todays Westeners criticize us about wife-beating in Islam, the woman is built weaker than a man, beatings constitute treatment, admonish them, do not share their bed and beat them, a harsh beating leaves marks upon the body or the face and one must not administer beatings that cause fractures or wounds”. The religion of peace/ cult cares, Cair / the muslim brotherhood cares. I do not blame you for trying so hard, if I were a man, an ugly, not too smart man, a strong man, I would be frantic about women finding out there is a better life away from the most oppressive cult in the world. Jesus said “Love one another”
