“The U.S. Air Force formally granted Staff Sgt. Abdul Rahman Gaitan a religious waiver to don a beard in service. Gaitan is the first Muslim airman to receive such an accommodation. In response, Billoo mocked Muslims serving in the U.S. military, sarcastically tweeting: ‘Great news, MashaAllah [according to God’s will]. You can now rock your Sunnah beard while bombing your Muslim brothers and sisters.'”
Zahra Billoo is executive director of CAIR’s San Francisco Bay Area chapter. She not only has problems with Muslims in the U.S. military, but in 2015, she tweeted that she “struggles with Memorial Day each year” about whether to honor American soldiers who died in wars.” Now Billoo is mocking Muslims who serve in the U.S. military.
CAIR continues to be accepted in mainstream American society, despite the fact that the group is Hamas-connected and anti-American/anti-Western at its core. Billoo “labeled American Muslims in the military as traitors for participating in combat operations targeting terrorists in predominately Muslim-majority countries.” Billoo has also “glorified Palestinian ‘martyrs’ families’ whose relatives participated in a terrorist attack against Israelis” as “an act of resistance,” called Israel supporters “baby killers,” and stated that she was “more afraid of racist Zionists who support Apartheid Israel than of the mentally ill young people the FBI recruits to join ISIS.”
Billoo does not accept as Muslim leaders those who support Israel or oppose the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.
“CAIR Official Mocks Muslims in U.S. Military After Praising Terrorists,” IPT News, November 27, 2018:
Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) official Zahra Billoo continues to judge Muslims who do not fall in line with her radical agenda.
Last week, Military.com reported that the U.S. Air Force formally granted Staff Sgt. Abdul Rahman Gaitan a religious waiver to don a beard in service. Gaitan is the first Muslim airman to receive such an accommodation.
In response, Billoo mocked Muslims serving in the U.S. military, sarcastically tweeting: “Great news, MashaAllah [according to God’s will]. You can now rock your Sunnah beard while bombing your Muslim brothers and sisters.”
Billoo, an attorney, leads CAIR’s San Francisco-Bay area chapter.
Instead of praising the U.S. military for overturning long standing practices to accommodate religious practices, Billoo basically labeled American Muslims in the military as traitors for participating in combat operations targeting terrorists in predominately Muslim-majority countries.
This sentiment is not surprising given Billoo’s history of defending terrorists. On Saturday, at an American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) conference, Billoo glorified Palestinian “martyrs’ families” whose relatives participated in a terrorist attack against Israelis – or as Billoo called it: “an act of resistance.”
“Even I don’t fully understand how horrible an apartheid Israel is doing,” Billoo said in a recording obtained by the Investigative Project on Terrorism. She was describing a recent trip to the Palestinian territories. “We hear here that the martyrs’ families are rewarded with homes and flowers and food. We learn that in Palestine that happens, because it doesn’t matter whether or not you approve of your teenager committing a crime. Whether or not it’s a crime is something we can debate. But it doesn’t matter whether or not you approved of it. The soldiers show up at your house the day after you lose child in an act of resistance. And they bulldoze your home. So of course, your community buys you a home.”
These are the views of a person who received a Community Builder Award last month, someone with a history of propagating radical Islamist and anti-Semitic remarks.
Earlier this month, Billoo openly stoked division by drawing a line in the sand by defining who she believes is a legitimate Muslim leader and who is not[.]
“I’m really cautious of who I call a Muslim leader,” Billoo said at a gathering with the Ecumenical Peace Institute, warning others to be aware “as you see countries in the Middle East, and even Muslim activists in the United States, take problematic positions supporting the state of Israel or opposing the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.”…..

“while bombing your Muslim brothers and sisters”
Note to Zahra: It’s just a belief, honey; don’t take it, or yourself, so seriously.
Westman says
She is certainly a typical Islam mouthpiece; pleased to see misguided Muslim youth die in “martyrdom” and very unwilling to follow.
Exactly how does her mocking of Muslim soldiers and open support of punishing Israel aid CAIR with American-Islamic relations? Is it possible that the central authority of CAIR is this profoundly deaf or have they thrown in with the Left; believing the Left will become virulenty anti-semitic? The far left is already anti-American.
CAIR seems as confused about its positions as British leaders are about Brexit. From our perspective, America should hear much more from Zahra Billoo about an Anti-Amercan, Anti-Semitic CAIR. Let’s hope CAIR hires more like her so no one, including the full US Public, is confused about the true character of CAIR.
PRCS says
Yes.
1. The American-Islamic segment of that organization’s name makes clear that America and Islam really a world apart.
2. She avoided a great opportunity to martyr herself in “Palestine”.
3. IMO, as Islam certainly isn’t a warm and fuzzy “progressive” ideology, CAIR cultivates useful idiots by feigning affinity with those of the Left’s policies/agenda which don’t overtly permit “what Allah and his messenger have prohibited (gay rights for example).
4. “the true character of CAIR” and of Islam.

Well isn’t this revealing. No other demographic in the US military is more likely to commit treason; gee I wonder why. And CAIR would no doubt be the first to howl “Islamophobia” if they were to learn that Muslims were denied entry into the US military or subjected to any additional scrutiny on account of their religious beliefs. The Council on American Islamic Relations; the name says it all.
Anjuli Pandavar says
Hmm, I wonder. This has a whiff of the old Maajid Nawaz double-bluff about it: severely criticise Muslims so infidels rush to defend them, thereby helping to secure them in those critical positions where jihad really needs them to be secure.
PS. I thought only Europeans were hoodwinked.
Norger says
I don’t think she’s smart enough to think of a double bluff on this, but the fix is already in anyway. Before committing treason jihad at Fort Hood, Dr. Nidal Hassan gave Power Point presentations on Islam to his fellow soldiers, in which he essentially announced himself as a jihadi. And of course the Army’s “investigation” concluded that this was “workplace violence.” The brazen dishonesty and moral cowardice of the Army’s report on the Fort Hood shootings continues to disgust me to this day. Compound treason.
Waltfava says
Why is our military bowing down to muslins based on religious BS. What,they can’t get a white or black or asian airmen to replace him in the cockpit without demanding to wear a beard?
Guy Forester says
The copilot had better be clean shaven when they lose pressure at altitude and the emergency O2 mask needs to be worn, if he is a pilot. If he is part of the flight crew, he will be rapidly rendered unconscious if they lose pressure and no good mask fit. If there is a fire, he needs the full head hood to fit as well. Hope there is enough room in there.
BTW, there are gangsters and terrorist trainees that go into the military specifically to get military training to get the skills that enhance their ability to “work” after leaving the service.
Infidel Numero Uno says
Why give these evil death cult miscreants ANY social platform to spew their vile prattle?
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
Poor Miss Billoo. She is already made mock-worthy by her funny-sounding surname, which calls to mind the comedic interviewer Wally Ballou; see
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pBMzx0W5Vw
But CAIR is making mock of her too, by putting out the above photograph of her face in front of the CAIR logo:
https://www.jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Zahra-Billoo.jpg
It is as if CAIR is making a public service announcement against cousin marriage, showing how it can lead to facial asymmetry and bad skin, so that wearing a hijab actually improves a woman’s appearance.
CAIR, please stop making fun of Miss Billoo.
somehistory says
She is a liar…it comes with the territory of being moslim…and she is ugly inside and out. Secretly, she must be high-fiving over the military making it okay, hunky-dory, for a moslim to wear a beard that other people are not allowed.
She knows full well that moslims kill moslims….even family members…every day of the week and more than once on Fridays. And she is well aware that there are many moslims who have killed fellow soldiers in acts of terror, while pretending to serve the country…having taken an oath to do so.
Nona says
The U.S. military is making a fatal mistake. THose are 5th Columns, infiltrators in the ranks. These creatures are NOT loyal to the U.S, but to the Ummah and Mecca. No telling when they will stick a knife in our backs.
mortimer says
What chance is there that Zahra Billoo or many like her will become PATRIOTIC AMERICANS who will defend the US AGAINST ALL ENEMIES???
The chance must be close to zero … so why bring DELUDED AMERICA-HATERS like Zahra Billoo into the US.
The US must SUICIDAL to bring in and grant citizenship to DISLOYAL AMERCA-HATERS like Zahra Billoo.

I’m a vet and can assure readers that an already hard life (being in the military) can get a whole lot harder for non-conformists or ‘bare-minimum’ types.
Command could be comprised of some eager to see public relations victories with Muslims but if the personnel who spend the most time with a soldier/sailor don’t trust them the training won’t be at the same level, and should a unit be in harm’s way they may be pretty much on their own.
