Hamas-linked CAIR files court challenge to government’s Terrorist Screening Database

Jan 19, 2018 7:12 am By Robert Spencer

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.

What could its purpose possibly be in wanting to end the Terrorist Screening Database? It’s unfathomable!

“Terrorist Screening Lawsuit by CAIR Backs 5 Muslim Americans,” Associated Press, January 17, 2018:

DALLAS (AP) — A civil rights group has filed a court challenge to the federal government’s Terrorist Screening Database, alleging it stigmatizes its targets without due process.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations filed the lawsuit Wednesday in federal court in Dallas on behalf of five Muslim American citizens. In a statement, the group says the five face consequences because they’re on the watch list, “including the inability to fly on airplanes, intrusive screenings at airports, and the denial of applications for credit cards and bank loans.”

CAIR’s senior litigation attorney, Gadeir (gah-DAYR’) Abbas says the database is “nothing more than a list of innocent Muslim citizens who have not been arrested, charged or convicted of a crime.”…

    AP refers to CAIR as a civil rights group rather than a Muslim Rights Organization. AP is incompetent.

      Actually, it’s a snivel rights group.

      How about calling CAIR what it really is…a front for Hamas and all things that relate to muslim terrorist activity around the world. It is a cancer in the USA that needs to be removed….completely.

      Give them no standing, except constant monitoring until the commit a crime, then deport the whole lot of them…and send their shister lawyer with them.

        CAIR has committed plenty of crimes. About half their board is in prison which is a serious omission by the AP.

        How long DOJ, FBI,CIA CONGRESS or whomever???…CAIR is Hamas Linked, there are so many thing about the group that indicate it is terrorist minded they are trying their best to undermine every effort to stop terrorism before it rears it’s ugly head and yet America stands still.
        This is only ONE of a horde of Islamic groups that are doing the same thing as CAIR they are just not quite in the forefront as CAIR is and yet America stands still.

    Denial of bank loans ?
    But islam forbids paying interest, so that’s a non-issue being used as a grievance.

    • Westman says

      Jan 19, 2018 at 10:17 am

      And they get no credit card offers in the mail? The banks have access to the no-fly list?

      Just CAIR trying to get their name in the news to stay relevant. They know this suit will die at the SCOTUS but the publicity will pay off.

  3. CRUSADER says

    Jan 19, 2018 at 9:36 am

    Why is CAIR still around? There has been so much focus on them, particularly from the reading of “Muslim Mafia”

    Interesting to see the DALLAS / AP — as Dallas is where UtT (Understanding the Threat) is based out of, from where former FBI John Guandolo reports ….

  4. CRUSADER says

    Jan 19, 2018 at 9:38 am

    Films by ClarionProject make it clear that CAIR shows upfront denial and taqiyya ….

    CAIR = Campaign for an American Islamic Republic.

    Security measures mean prevention of criminal acts.

    Watch list, “including the inability to fly on airplanes, intrusive screenings at airports, and the denial of applications for credit cards and bank loans” suits muslims perfectly.

  7. CRUSADER says

    John Stossel did an expose’ on SPLC

    ….needs to do one on CAIR….

    He did have this to remark about CAIR:

    Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World – John Stossel – Townhall
    https://townhall.com/…/johnstossel/…/looking-for-comedy-in-the-muslim-world-n124…

    — And now Sony won’t even use “Muslim” in a title. Even CAIR doesn’t object to the movie, although I bet they’ll object to this column. The Los Angeles Times points out that Sony is the same company that pushes movies packed with crass materialism and sex, films that are much more likely to offend Muslims …

      Good for John Stossel’s expose of SPLC.

      Yes–I’d like to see him tackle CAIR, as well.

    If anyone still cares about CAIR:

    ….look what was said about Robert Spencer (the “Islamophobe”)….

    This below is from ….wait for it and try not to laugh … “media matters”:

    ———————————————————————————

    https://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2015/03/25/fox-figures-ted-cruz-speaking-alongside-leading/203036

    Fox Figures, Ted Cruz Speaking Alongside Leading Islamophobe Who Was Cited By Norwegian Terrorist

    ….

    His anti-Islamic rhetoric has solidified Spencer a place as a right-wing media darling, turned to by Fox News and conservative sites like National Review Online as a go-to expert on Islam despite his extreme leanings. Fox turned to Spencer as recently as January to spew Islamophobia during a discussion about the deadly attacks on satirical French newspaper Charlie Hebdo. Appearing on Hannity, Spencer cited the “much higher” birth rate of Muslim populations to fearmonger that “Sharia enclaves” will “inevitably grow and continue to grow until, finally, that’s all there is.”

    It is for extremist rhetoric such as this that Muslim advocacy groups like The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) have called on Cruz to cancel his upcoming appearance with Spencer at YAF. In a March 24 press release, the group pointed to the designation of Spencer’s organizations as hate groups by the SPLC as one of the reasons why Cruz should step back from the event. “As the first Republican to declare his candidacy for president, CAIR recommends that Senator Cruz reach out to members of the American Muslim and other U.S. minority communities to better understand their issues and concerns, ” explained CAIR Government Affairs Manager Robert McCaw.

    Who cares what CAIR thinks! They are a terrorist front!

    HA !

    Muslims are never terrorists. Either it wasn’t a muslims, but some Jewish plot to frame muslims, or the target was a legitimate enemy of islam and thus is a legal act of war rather than terrorism.

    Simple.

    • CRUSADER says

      Jan 19, 2018 at 8:44 pm

      Whew, for a second, I thought you said that Muslims were never tourists.

      Otherwise, they too would’ve not been bedside themselves like so many other tourists about that false alarm in Hawaii last weekend…..

      Can’t you just see aloha print rags for the heads of the males
      and flower prints for the burqa-clad “ladies”….???

      What fashion plates.

      Fetching!

      • CRUSADER says

        Jan 19, 2018 at 8:44 pm

        bedside, too, but really meant to type beside….

      • LeftisruiningCanada says

        Jan 19, 2018 at 10:14 pm

        Sometimes tourists.

        In preparation to be terrorists.

        Sorry for the confusion.

        (even floral buraqas are flags for the enemy)

    If so called Christians were murdering Muslims CAIR would want screening of Christians.

    • LeftisruiningCanada says

      Jan 19, 2018 at 10:14 pm

      of course.

      it’s a one way street baby.

    Hamas-linked CAIR files court challenge to government’s Terrorist Screening Database
    …………………………

    Of course, CAIR does not want Infidels to be able to defend against Infidels at all. That’s what this is about.

    • gravenimage says

      Jan 20, 2018 at 12:10 am

      It’s been a long day and I’m tired. That should have been:

      “Of course, CAIR does not want Infidels to be able to defend against Jihad at all…”

  14. Brenda says

    Jan 21, 2018 at 11:47 am

    Why hasn’t CAIR been declared a terrorist organization and closed down? Is this country really that afraid of protecting itself? What is the “Justice” Department and Homeland “Security” doing? How did we become so very, very stupid? AMAZING!
