Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Democrat Baltimore County Executive cuts ribbon as Hamas-linked CAIR opens new Maryland office

Feb 7, 2018 7:25 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“We are excited to expand our services to the communities we serve,” said Zainab Chaudry, “Maryland outreach manager for CAIR.” The CAIR office in Catonsville “will be the hub of its work in Maryland.” Democrat Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz declared that he was “particularly impressed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ mission which emphasizes understanding, compassion and justice for all.”

With a world of information at Kamentz’s fingertips, it is difficult to imagine that he is this clueless. Zainab Chaudry is very happy to expand CAIR into the center of “far flung areas,” as she calls them, and for good reason, given CAIR’s real identity and mission. Despite its public presentation of unity and fighting discrimination:

CAIR has strong ties to the terrorist group Hamas….as an offshoot of the Islamic Association of Palestine (IAP)….Former chief of the FBI’s counter terrorism section, Oliver Revell, called the IAP “a front organization for Hamas that engages in propaganda for Islamic militants.

CAIR’s head, Nihad Awad asserted at a 1994 meeting at Barry University, “I am a supporter of the Hamas movement.” Former FBI counter terrorism chief, Steven Pomerantz, stated publicly that, “CAIR, its leaders and its activities effectively give aid to international terrorist groups.

CAIR’s “radical Islamic vision” was revealed in a speech in Fremont, California, when CAIR’s co-founder and longtime Board chairman, Omar Ahmad, proclaimed:

Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran…should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.

Even the United Arab Emirates listed CAIR as a terrorist group, “placing it in the company of Al Qaeda, Islamic State and others.”

Kevin Kamentz seems to be clueless about all this. He also stated of the Trump temporary ban on Muslim countries that are jihad hotspots, countries that were chosen by the previous Obama administration:

President Trump’s executive order imposing a Muslim ban is an affront to the very values that make us proud to be Americans. Our Founding Fathers were united in the belief that America’s pluralism would be its north star….For nearly two hundred and fifty years, generations of immigrants have arrived on our shores and built the strongest nation in the world.

Kamenetz is mixed up. The United States — and other Western nations — once opened its doors to responsible immigration. This was for the protection of all citizens, including law-abiding immigrants. American values are also built on battling the anti-pluralistic evils of supremacism, such as Communism, Nazism and now Islamic supremacism, of which the armed wing is jihad terrorism.

Congrats on the photo op, Mr Kamenetz. Leaders like him are to blame for the Islamization of the West and the ongoing jihadist threat to Israel and the rest of the free world. To embrace CAIR and its affiliates is to embrace Hamas.

“Muslim civil rights group opens Catonsville office”, by Libby Soloman, Baltimore Sun, February 6, 2018:

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Muslim civil rights and advocacy group, opened an office in Catonsville at the end of January that will be the hub of its work in Maryland.

“We are excited to expand our services to the communities we serve — not only to Muslim communities but to any Americans who are targeted by hate or discrimination,” said Zainab Chaudry, Maryland outreach manager for CAIR.

Before moving into the office at 6120 Baltimore National Pike, CAIR ran its Maryland outreach activities from the organization’s Washington headquarters, Chaudry said.

The move will put the council’s office, which employs one staff member and a host of volunteers, in the center of Maryland, accessible to people in far-flung areas, she said.

“We wanted the location to be strategically located and accessible to diverse communities across the state,” Chaudry said.

At a ribbon-cutting ceremony, Baltimore County Executive Kamenetz presented the organization with an executive citation, congratulating it on the occasion.

“We are very pleased that this national organization selected Baltimore County for their first local office in Maryland,” Kamenetz said in an emailed statement. “I am particularly impressed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ mission which emphasizes understanding, compassion and justice for all.

The office is expected to host media events, training sessions and meetings with partners of the organization.

On Feb. 17, at 10 a.m., the office will host a bystander intervention “training of trainers,” to teach people how to train someone to intervene if they see an individual being subjected to a hate crime.

The office will also host client meetings for those who take advantage of its free legal services, which are offered to those targeted by hate crimes or subject to employment discrimination, Chaudry said.

That work, she said, is growing each year, as reported incidents of hate crimes rise.

In 2016, Maryland State Police statistics show that Baltimore County had 73 reported hate crimes, a jump from the 49 reported the previous year. In Maryland, only Montgomery County had as many reported incidents.

“In part, it’s undeniable that the hate we’re seeing has been emboldened by the rhetoric coming from elected officials and people in positions of authority,” Chaudry said. “In Maryland, we have not been immune to the impacts of that.”

The new office will “help push forward the work that needs to be done….

    It just boggles my mind. How ignorant can they be? I think this level of ignorance at a governance level will absoslutely be the end of the USA as we know it. I think now all who we elect should be willing to take a test to determine if they have read the Qur’an. There is literally NO excuse not to have done that.

    I still think migosgyn and/or self hatred for being one sex or another is behind all this ignorance or need to placate Muslims. Criminy.

    Is infiltrating our Republic and it is a dangerous thing we are allowing to happen. It is time for these people to go back to their countries and stop pro-creating to create their caliphate in our Country. It has taken hold under the Bushes, Clintons and Obama and we are going to be in peril sooner than later.

    So depressing to see that such a vile organization like CAIR seems to be making headway in becoming “normalized”, even after all the information about their terror ties has now been out there for years. The Muslim Brotherhood has succeeded in achieving normal status in the UK, so that’s probably about 5 yrs out in the US. (Already many Democrats have regular, open contact with the MB.)

    Looking at the photo above, every woman in the room is wearing a hijab, including a woman I assume is a non-Muslim.

    Depressing.

    Sickening and and so typical of” Baltimorons” and their all corrupt or idiotic politicians .Welcoming danger and embracing it.Meanwhile, the city can`t heat some public schools during winter!And the murder rate is at historic levels. This will Not help! but to bring “juicy and lucrative” phony lawsuits, of anti- ” Muslim” “hate crimes” and the “city and” Mo Co” ?” will roll over and pay for it? ” you bettcha”!

    A terrible stench from of the loss of “freedom” for the rest of us!

    The new collaborators–the new oppressed–agents of influence of Islam, intellectuals, journalists, politicians, those who consider Muslims the new oppressed. It is called creeping Shari’ah, well done Muslim Brotherhood.
