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

Despite its focus on “hate speech,” Hamas-linked CAIR refuses comment on U.S. imams’ calls to kill Jews

Feb 2, 2018 9:05 am By Robert Spencer

For Hamas-linked CAIR, the concept of “hate speech” is just a weapon it uses to marginalize and silence those whom it hates. It doesn’t really have any concern for incitement to violence against people, or else it would be speaking out strongly against these imams. But of course, the staff of Hamas-linked CAIR knows that the call to kill Jews comes from Muhammad himself, and so they’re not going to denounce it no matter what. And the establishment media will, as always, give them a pass.

“Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.” (Sahih Muslim 6985)

“CAIR silent on U.S. imams’ call to kill Jews,” by Art Moore, WND, February 1, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

After three different imams in the U.S. declared in December that Muslims will one day eliminate the Jews, citing sacred Islamic text, a Washington-based Islamic group known for its concern about “hate speech” was noticeably silent.

Various branches of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, including its national office, were contacted for comment by the website Islamist Watch, but the requests were ignored.

As WND reported, the three Muslim imams were recorded citing an Islamic text that prophesies the killing of Jews by Muslims. All three were responding to President Trump’s Dec. 6 recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

A Houston, Texas, imam who urged Muslims to “fight the Jews in Palestine” and “kill the Jews,” tried to repair relations with local Jewish leaders with an apology.

Imam Raed Saleh Al-Rousan of the Tajweed Institute said he was “absolutely and completely opposed to and disgusted by all forms of terrorism, all terrorists, and I oppose anyone who would commit, call for, or threaten violence against civilians.”

But Dayan Gross, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League, pointed out that video of the sermon shows the imam basing his statement on the well-known Islamic hadith declaring, “Judgment Day will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews.”

Another Texas imam, Sheik Ramadan Elsabagh of Garland, Texas, posted a recorded prayer on his Facebook page in December calling for Israel’s destruction along with “their allies, and those who assist them and those who allowed them into the abodes of the Muslims.”

Islamist Watch said that on Jan. 15, for example, it contacted CAIR’s national office and its Alabama and Georgia chapters to ask for comment on a sermon by North Carolina-based imam Abdullah Khadra but got no response.

CAIR, meanwhile, regularly accuses individuals and organizations that call attention to the group’s radical ties purveyors of “hate speech.”

CAIR’s executive director, Nihad Awad, has claimed that religious minorities in America face bigotry that could lead to a holocaust similar to the one that killed 6 million Jews.

He claimed last year his organization counted $205 million in spending from 2008 to 2013 by an “inner core” of 33 groups in an “Islamophobia network dedicated to stigmatize American Muslims.”

CAIR, however, was named an unindicted co-conspirator in a plot to fund the terrorist group Hamas and was designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates, along with groups such as ISIS and al-Qaida.

While CAIR regards itself as a civil-rights organization, according to evidence entered in the terror-financing case, it 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 expose, “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.

A CAIR report issued last year claimed 2016 was the worst year on record for American Muslims “when it comes to hate crimes, acts of vandalism, discrimination, attacks on our civil and human rights.”

However, the latest FBI statistics showed anti-Semitic hate crimes were more than two times more common than hate crimes against Muslims, pointed out Jihad Watch director Robert Spencer, who also has noted many of the reports have turned out to be false or faked by Muslims themselves….

    didn’t you know: Muslims cannot commit “hate speech” or “hate crimes”? And even asking why they can’t is a “hate crime”. Well, at least in most European countries.

    I predict that after the FBI is cleansed of the 0bama people, the FBI will concentrate on CAIR. I do know for a fact that the rank and file of the FBI hate CAIR with a vengeance.

    Robert, Just to let you know that due to internet problems and service issues unable to open Jihad Watch, UTT, etc..but I was able to open with extreme difficulty Front Page Mag, Judicial Watch that kept me informed on the about a Fisa memo that would start today to be released. My internet blocked me or it was my service, I now have access today, just a few minutes ago. Hope this memo release will expose the MB influence, the related MB organizations including BLM, Antifa CAIR SPLC, influence along with external influence of sharia based governments. This anti Trump bias in the FBI to protect the MB influence and aid the democrats to remove Pres.Trump in my opinion may return the words and definitions this country needs that were allowed to be purged from the FBI. I believe our national security was in shambles due to this purge and restriction of speech. Russian collusion smear was a good attempt to twist the pretzel and turn the public against President Trump, to attempt to build consensus to remove him from office and remove the information about the MB influence and control of our security. It will be interesting to hear if this conclusion is correct or has any relationship to the memo.This denial from the Democrats is really frightening and so disruptive to the spirit and mind when even facts can’t be told and they force a bad compromise to secure our borders. I do hope he will not get compromised. Time will tell but just being able to open JW is a good sign.

      Why does the Speaker of the House seem to resist information on the memo….? But this does not surprise me and he may still be uninformed about the nature of the threat, the influence to create hate speech to suppress facts and information about the influence of the MB and related organizations about the threat to our Constitution. He I suspect, is still not clear on the details of sharia and the MB inappropiate deadly influence within the Pentagon and Government and still functioning in some fog. He should read the Strategic Memorandum of the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan) about a religion that has a warfare doctrine against the U.S. and all kufar who will not convert to Islam. The national security is unwilling to address and why? The MB will aid the Dems to try to remove our President and will hide under the title of religion for safety while waving the flag of isis and there is plenty of video to support. A British spy is also sharia ignorant or willing.

        Good posts, underbed cat. But be under no illusions: the Speaker is not uninformed about the threat, he is part of it, as are the Democrats.

    Who ever is resisting the release of the memo or some other type of trick of the democrats will be either compliant to the silencing of speech due the influence of the MB or possible election help. The other document that should be exposed ,is the Strategic Memorandum of the Ikhawn the Muslim Brotherhood…to understand why their influence is in the halls of government. The MB wants to act as advisors but are really the force that resists free speech, labels truth tellers as hateful and has been to some degree successful in controlling the media and politicians in silencing of the truth about sharia law and the compliance of the FBI to not use the purged words and motivations of terror. President Trump has the instincts I hope he follows thru to realistically address the doctrine that float in the muddy waters.

    This post would be better with a nice, big list. It mentions 2 cases from Texas, but is missing 2 cases from California, and several others. Of course, you might want to make the list US-centric.

    Apparently hate speech is only hateful when a muslim’s feeling are upset according to CAIR if their reaction to the obvious references to killing jews is an indication of how they determine hate speech.

    Once again the anti semitic stance of CAIR is plain and clear to be seen by all, but will it be acknowledged by the left liberal leaning MSM ? Apparently not.

    Neither will it be seen by the politicians who are in the pocket of the Muslim Brotherhood and its US branch, CAIR.

    It is up to us to make this issue high profile by distributing this, and other such reports, far and wide.

    While CAIR regards itself as a civil-rights organization, the Nazis regard themselves on the progressive front lines of freedom, love, and charity for all. Sharing and caring with Uncle Adolph. Just ask Joseph Goebbels.

    Robert,
    CAIR. Is the same as the Canadian Islamic Realations, groups that have infiltrated Canada because of England and the West. We All Know This.
    What to do and say.
    A few years ago, after I saw the association with the fake car dealerships using used cars in Dearborn, Michigan, as means of transferring money’s to Hezbollah and connecting the dots of my neighbors that had tons of “family” coming over, pictures included, oops, from Michigan, and than all of a sudden, no cars, no family no Michigan plates. Don’t worry, others in area know and saw, recorded.
    There used to be proud burka, scarf wearing women who tried to dominate the Windsor area, mails, stores, shopping w/ a scary male family member ( Abbas’s next brother, Adam who’s bigger brother is now a Windsor Cop, scary.
    Where did all the hijab wearing women go?
    Well we see them in Vans and cars dropping kids and husbands off to, but where are those same women with. The scarfs and black Dracula clokes of the See me in Windsor we control?
    Sharia got them.
    Ask the people who see and not the ones who watch our local C.T.V. News, C.B.C.,National, or anything Canadian!!!.
    It is all regurgitated from Ted Turners CNN! BBC! CBC CTV, and all local pretend stations.
    There is no radio stations that tell Canada the truth, we can only hear from pick up am from, or now the Internet.
    If you live in a area where you can pick up American A .M. channels you have a chance of learning, hearing the truth.
    Canadian fm and am air rights are changing as I speek, no longer does w j r come in clean across the river, jamming is happening.
    All Canadian news is a offshoot of CNN.
    Our news broadcasters only repeat, no journalism, no research, Nada!
    It is scary..
    Help.

      Our State funded CBC is one of worst stations i’ve ever encountered. Nothing but hard socialism and identity politics. Disgusting.

      Do you really suspect jamming of WJR?

    The Muslim brotherhood is alive and well in Canada and the USA. “To learn who really rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise“.
