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

Democrat Congressional candidate Ammar Campa-Najjar defends donation to Hamas-linked CAIR

Oct 12, 2018 3:07 pm 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. Ayloush himself in 2017 called for the overthrow of the U.S. government.

But donating to Hamas-linked CAIR is not career suicide for Ammar Campa-Najjar, although if a conservative candidate appeared with an analogous group as unsavory as CAIR, it would be. Campa-Najjar is a hard-Left candidate and never suffered any political fallout among Leftists for his connections to the organization. This is an indication of how topsy-turvy our political discourse is today: this unsavory gang of thugs has been normalized.

“Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar Defends Donation to Radical ‘Islamist’ Group CAIR,” by Joel B. Pollak, Breitbart, October 11, 2018:

Democratic congressional candidate Ammar Campa-Najjar spent the early hours of Thursday morning defending his campaign’s 2017 donation to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), and the contributions he has received from CAIR officials.

Campa-Najjar is running in California’s 50th congressional district to unseat incumbent Rep. Duncan Hunter Jr. (R-CA).

Breitbart News reported earlier this week that Campa-Najjar’s campaign made a “civic donation” of $650.00 to CAIR in 2017, and that he had received nearly $9,000 from CAIR officials.

As the article noted:

In 2007-8, CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the terror financing trial of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. That case, in turn, led the FBI to discontinue its work with the organization. In 2009, a federal judge ruled that the government “produced ample evidence to establish” the ties of CAIR with Hamas, the Palestinian terror organization . The United Arab Emirates labeled CAIR a terrorist organization in 2014 (a decision that the Obama administration opposed).

CAIR also helped the family of the San Bernardino terrorists after the 2015 attack in which they killed 14 people and wounded 22 — an attack CAIR partially blamed on U.S. foreign policy….

Breitbart News had reached out to Campa-Najjar’s campaign Tuesday to ask about his appearance on the “top ten” list of political candidates who had received contributions from “Islamist” sources, as compiled by the Middle East Forum’s “Islamist Money in Politics” (IMIP) project. (Campa-Najjar himself is a Christian, of mixed Palestinian and Mexican-American origin.)…

    Democrat Congressional candidate Ammar Campa-Najjar defends donation to Hamas-linked CAIR
    ………………….

    Disgusting, but no surprise. Too many idiots–not Campa-Najjar himself, though–still believe that CAIR is a civil rights group.

    Why would I say that? Because Campa-Najjar *himself* has close ties to “Palestinian” terrorists–*very* close ties. This, from the Clarion Project:

    In 1972, Campa-Najjar’s Palestinian grandfather, Abu (Mohammed) Yousef al-Najjar, was one of the Palestinian terrorists who killed 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics and went so far as to castrate some of them…

    Campa-Najjar’s grandfather was also involved in a failed plot to assassinate Israeli prime minister Golda Meir.
    …

    Campa-Najjar’s own father says his father was a Martyr, and vows more violence against Israel.

    https://clarionproject.org/who-is-ammar-campa-najjar/

    You cannot judge someone by their family members, of course. The question is how much of this Campa-Najjar himself embraces.

    He has referred to the existence of Israel as “occupation”.He claims that he watched Muhammad al-Durrah–a child the same age he was at the time–shot by the Israelis. This is worded so vaguely that it is not clear whether he is saying he was present, or just watched video footage. This is of unusually key importance, since this case has been revealed as a hoax through French film footage.

    He also claimed that an Israeli military hummer crashed into their car, fracturing his thigh and putting his younger brother in a coma. Is any of this true? If true, was it deliberate? (This is certainly the implication)

    He then goes on to describe 9/11 as if it were an act of violence *against* Muslims, which is just sickening. (See his phrasing at the link I posted).

    This is all very concerning.

    Also concerning–there are now apparently *90* Muslims running for office this November in the US. How many of them have troubling links to Jihad terror and disturbing views of their own like Campa-Najjar? Probably all too many.

      All you really ever have to do to track down islamic terrorist groups is follow the family and tribal ties. Catch one, follow the tribal and family ties. Birds of a feather really flock together in the tribal world.

        There are a *few* who break free from this–but it is rare, and does not appear to be the case here.

      Now this is in a California congressional district…and that should be nuf said….but..but. but that district is not all Muslim and maybe not all democrats….so are the people going to do a stupid thing and vote for him? Any politician who donates or receive money from CAIR is hooked.

        Ammar Campa-Najjar wouldn’t stand a chance in the election against Hunter, a Republican, Iraq War veteran, were it not for a financial corruption investigation launched against him. The election district is strongly Republican. BTW, NPR’s fact checking Ianne Jaffa, says that Hunter’s assertion that Ammar changed his middle name to Campa to obscure his families affinity to Yasser and Islam are false facts as Najjar is Christian (despite having a Muslim father and his grandfather being a Black September Munich Olympic massacre terrorist.). Where have we heard that before? Just ask Barack Hussein Obama?

    Do away with this criminal organization. There’s written books about their crookedness, their outspoken contempt for the federal law etc. – Now it’s serious, when do we see an indictment of this intolerable foreign body on solid American ground? Round them up an early morning, confiscate all their pc and assets. Do away with them the Al Capone way which means revenue, money laundry, and ally with the Israeli juridical body Shurat HaDin. They are experts in ripping up terrorist money transfers.

    CAIR gives so-called charitable donations to Islamic World Relief and they in turn transfer money to HAMAS.

    Muslims know this.

    Campa-Najjar is another Leftist/DEM, who claims to be a Christian, but is of Palestinian/Muslim/Hisplamic Parentage!
    What a Violent Combination to be competing for a position in the US Government.
    I Pray that Duncan Hunter trounces this Guy & His Handlers, CAIR!

    No one in their right mind should vote for this guy. He is clearly up to no good.

    Most of the polls are calling this election for Hunter:

    I hope so.
