“Resistance” is just more of what Hamas-linked CAIR is best at: victimhood posturing. The idea that Muslims are facing large-scale persecution and harassment in Trump’s America is hysterical posturing designed to gain special accommodation. It pays to be a victim in America today, and CAIR plays the part to the hilt.
The banquet was Saturday evening. Quigley spoke and Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs was there. Here are Quigley and Frerichs at the Banquet with Hamas-linked CAIR’s Ahmed Rehab (center):
That photo is one of several that Frerichs tweeted out. He was actually proud of having been there.
Here are two more of Frerichs’ photos:
Yes, that bottom photo features Frerichs (right) with Ahmed Rehab again. Rehab has in the past refused to condemn Hamas and claimed that the U.S. government was fabricating incidences of jihad terrorism. Rehab has also become considerably less flamboyant since posing for the photo below, which he had posted on his personal website in 2001 and I present here unretouched, exactly as it was presented there:
Anyway, why are Quigley and Frerichs so happy about appearing at a CAIR function? Would they be this happy to be photographed at a neo-Nazi function? What’s the big difference? 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.
Quigley and Frerichs are both Democrats, but there are plenty of Republican Useful Idiots as well. That any American politician of any political camp would appear at any function of this unsavory group speaks to the confusion of our age, and of how casual U.S. officials have become in their acceptance of hatred for the country they are supposed to be serving.
Pet Charles says
Do not blame the congressman. CAIR is fully aware of voter apathy and the American people apathy to electoral politics. If they get foreign money to funnel to US Congressmen then those congressmen will do what CAIR asks. Those who are concerned about Islamic encroachment must invite the congressman and show up at political functions to let their voices be heard.
Vic says
The Congressmen are sworn to uphold the US Constitution and its Rule of Law. Each and everyone of them should know who their constituents are and what their hopes, needs and goals are. If those are not in tune with the Constitution and America’s greater goals, then the Congressman needs to explain it to those constituents.
Islamic Sharia law, the establishment of which is the ultimate goal of CAIR/Muslim Brotherhood, has been already clearly spelled out as mentioned by Robert Spencer in the article. It is thoroughly incompatible and in direct conflict with our established Constitutional rights and privileges. Not a trifle to take into account by an elected official. Indeed, it’s a very serious issue leading a perpetrator to a conviction of Treason and Sedition in accordance to Article 3 of the Constitution.
If all elected officials are looking for is donors, then those elected officials are duty bound to learn and understand what those donors hope to gain. Whoever has the money has the louder voice and piece of the pie? No. Their duty is to dispense Equal representation for all.
We need transparency and integrity of character in those who seek to be our representatives. It is our duty to hold them accountable for their behavior, for their decisions and for the ways they spend our money. It is a privilege to be elected to represent we the people. Many think it is a career that will enrich them personally. Alas, we see it happening before our eyes every day. Shame on them.
Karen says
Great post.
Nabi says
Talk is cheap.
gravenimage says
I imagine Mike Quigley just believes that CAIR is a “civil rights group”–I doubt he knows anything about Shari’ah or CAIR’s links to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.
gravenimage says
Of course, as an elected representative, there is no excuse for such ignorance.
Vic says
Yes, Graven. The more I look into it, the more I have to agree with that conclusion.
KJW says
Why can’t these politicians do a quick google and they would see links about CAIR? I bet they do know about CAIR, certainly the FBI knows, they’re just choosing to ignore it. It’s like the feckless Jeremy Corbyn in England who goes to a memorial of a terrorist who killed Israeli wrestlers at the 1972 Olympics and says nice things about Hezbollah.
I recall a photo I have of Qur’ans on all the chairs at a gathering for White House staff under Obama. I think CAIR sponsored that. I wonder what translation it was. Did anyone actually read it? Did they learn where the “peace” comes from in it? This is one place they get their “Islam is a religion of peace” saying. The disbelievers are the ignorants here. Also, trees and stones said, “Peace be upon you, Messenger of Allah” when he went out for walks. Then there’s the idea of there being peace when all the disbelievers are in Hell and Islam rules the world. I believe it was the Saudis who told George Bush to say that and they also think Islam is THE religion of peace (as opposed to others). It’s nuts, but ambiguity and double entendres are the norm of tawriya (lying, dissimulation, equivocation, etc.)
Yusuf Ali: And the servants of (Allah) Most Gracious are those who walk on the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say, “Peace!”
Sahih International: And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say [words of] peace,
I’m also wondering why the CAIR sign says Resistance 3.0. Was there 1.0 and 2.0? Maybe I’m being dense but with them there often double meanings. They like hijacking movements too…the Women’s March, BLM, etc. Liberals are willfully blind, but you’re right, the politicians have no excuse not to know better. Such flagrant displays of lack of ethics.
J D S says
I’m shocked just shocked! Congressman visiting a CAIR
function…….Treason?Why not?
Sure hope the voters will put him or any who pander to organizations like CAIR out when election time comes or just recall any who do this.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
The Congressmen are sworn to uphold the US Constitution and its Rule of Law.
A quick glance at all the felonies committed in the ongoing Bloodless Coup operation being run against Trump lets us know that the rule of law is a joke. The Deep State “public servants” have time on their hand for felonies by way of the longstanding practice of purposeful non-enforcement of the law, for example at our southern border. And now there’s the new Deep State innovation: investigating a crime we don’t know even happened, the theory of the theoretical crime being that Trump committed treason in order to have the Russians hack the DNC server to get dirt on Hillary. But how did Trump know that data was there? And why didn’t he just pay an American to hack the easily hackable system but instead risk his life by committing treason.
So many questions. But one thing is not in question: this is fertile ground for Moslems to plow. Arbitrary governance always favors those with evil intentions, just ask Czar Nicholas.
KJW says
Nice post. People should be tweeting these politicians or by whatever other means. They need to know citizens are paying attention, and it’s already been shameful how Loretta Lynch coddled Muslim Brotherhood people, as well as Obama, though it started under Bill Clinton.
It doesn’t do enough good to just speak in echo chambers. They need to be told they are essentially being seditious since we are well aware of what the Muslim Brotherhood is about and CAIR operates the same way. It is seditious to support an enemy within. The CAIR members who are citizens are being seditious, let alone a major pain in the butt.
Politicians shouldn’t be supporting CAIR nor taking money from foreign groups and people. Besides CAIR’s and the Muslim Brotherhood’s anti-American goals, they support terrorists and it’s quite shameful for a Congressman to associate with them, as well as the San Diego school board, etc. Are people so desperate for money that they will sell out to people who believe Islam should dominate the world?
It’s time for politicians to stop acting like selfish, weak dhimmis and stop this nonsense and Islam coddling-it is bizarre to even be talking about this and a religion in 2018 in America. It’s definitely regressive. Politicians are more worried about getting elected than what their children and grandchildren might have to face, and their kids don’t deserve the effects of political expedience nor political correctness. Maybe their kids will be calling their parents traitors. “My dad hung out with terrorist sympathizers and Islamic supremacists.” It’s practically collusion.
Mirit says
vic,
The problem is not the Congressman. The problem is that CAIR should be outlawed and all its active members – jailed. The court has found that CAIR funds terror, the court has found that the Muslim Brotherhood is criminal – next step is to close down CAIR, and the Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S. and jail all its members.
WPM says
The problem is the congressman he is elected to up hold the laws of this country he is in a position of power. With power comes responsible if you do not have the knowledge to see who you are dealing with you should not be in that position of power, if you do know and are selling your own people out you belong in jail. We the people have to push this past the PC media, powerful lobby groups and overseas funding of these terrorist front organizations .If you want to be a responsible elected official of the people it is your job to be informed and make your decisions based on not selling out and being a agent or friend or employee of a terrorist organization.

We need to mass mail the image of these clowns at the CAIR Function with the brief on CAIR and it leaders and former leaders. We need to ask what’s in it for these Illinois low life’s
gravenimage says
You can contact Congressman Mike Quigley here:
https://quigley.house.gov/contact
Please be polite. From what I know about him, he is more an ignorant dhimmi than a deliberate enabler of Islamic savagery.
It should not, of course, be up to the public to educate him or any other politician about the threat of Islam–but this is where we are.
CRUSADER says
Typically the Congress members lean on their staff to fill them in on issues.
If there is a particular topic of concern for you, present it to the Congress member
succinctly, politely, and with reasons why it is so crucial for their consideration and edification.
Congress actually does need schooling from us folks, or they will just listen to those who regularly lobby them or what their staff and friends tell them ordinarily. Informing them is key.
gravenimage says
True, CRUSADER.
Vic says
Good idea Jack. Nabi has a point that talk is cheap. Some of us in my neighborhood are in contact with our elected leaders on a regular basis–by mail and in person but that is a drop in the bucket. And we frankly discuss Islam in America and around the world.
When you talk about doing mass mail its a little complicated. I heard that FB and Twitter have bot programs to take down/ban posts considered “hateful” (islamophobic) but people say that the bots dont seem to recognize memes/pictures. Perhaps that is a better route to pursue. I will look on David Wood’s YouTube site and see if he has some available. Can you indicate some good memes that we can all use? Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks

I have a great factual meme to use but unfortunately it might get you banned or suspended at FB.

Illinois Congressman Mike Quigley featured speaker at Hamas-linked CAIR’s Chicago “Resistance” Banquet
…………………………..
“Resistance”, my *ss.
Mike Quigley is a dhimmi tool at best. Here he is, talking about the threat of terrorism:
https://quigley.house.gov/newsroom/what-keeps-america-safe
He seems to have no clue that Islam–or even “Islamism” or “Islamic extremism”–present any kind of danger. I’m sure he has no clue that playing footsie with CAIR makes us all less safe.
CRUSADER says
Illinois has been illin’ for a long time

Jay Boo, “Resistance” has–ludicrously–just been used to mean “talk smack about Donald Trump” in the past year or so here in the Blue States.
I’m sure that’s all the ignorant Mike Quigley thinks is going on with CAIR.
He is at least nominally committed to keeping Americans safe against terrorism–I imagine he’d be shocked to learn of CAIR’s terrorist links.
CRUSADER says
Why does it take so long for the word about CAIR’s terror links to make it around Congress?
It’s been in the hopper for years! This is old news by now….

I would take this “Resistance” talk very seriously folks. I lived through the race riots and left-led agitation of the 60’s and 70’s. The fact that Bill Ayers, Bernadette Dorn, and similar radicals from that era moved into politics and big business does not mean they gave up their dream. They changed tactics and strategy, but the ultimate goal has not.
These people are dangerous. The recent jihad attacks, pressure to keep the borders open, pressure to accept unvetted refugees, promotion of anti-western ideals and values, and marginalizing of those that promote American ideals and culture are not accidents. I also suspect that the uptick in LEO attacks are somehow linked.
We actually have elected officials, law enforcement, so-called celebrities, and the MSM attacking the president and those that support him. I have no doubts at all that these agitators and their supporters are looking for the right spark at the right time to go active and hot. And BHO, HRC, the DNC, the Calexit cabal, and their supporters are in this up to their ears.

I’ve been looking at Josef Goebbels ways of convincing the masses that lies are truth. Muslim apologists are working from his playbook. But for Hitler’s follies, most of Europe would be German controlled. Hitler was eventually defeated. Will Islam be defeated? Who will stand up for Europe as Britain did in WW2? This time I can see no country with the will and the power to defeat Islam. I just hope some democracies will survive long enough to see what a curse Islam is and take action to protect themselves.
