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

Houston Mayor honors Hamas-linked group, proclaims December 9 “CAIR-TEXAS, Houston Day”

Dec 7, 2018 1:20 pm By Robert Spencer

Whose bright idea was this?

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.

“CAIR-Houston Welcomes ‘CAIR-TEXAS, Houston Day’ Proclamation by Mayor Turner,” by Naaz Modan, CAIR, December 6, 2018 (thanks to Dale):

(HOUSTON, TX, 12/6/18) – The Houston chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Houston) today expressed appreciation for a proclamation received from Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner in which he proclaims December 9, 2018 — the day of CAIR-Houston’s 17th Annual Banquet — as “CAIR-TEXAS, Houston Day.”…

    This proclamation is an insult to United States of America and our constitution.
    This uninformed progressive liberal mayor should be recalled and kicked out of office immediately.
    This is complete utter insanity. How do people like Mayor Turner ever get elected??

    Keep America soverign and great!! MAGA Trump 2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

      As Houstonian I am enraged and offended by all this … but not living within the City limits, can’t vote for the Mayor. During the November election I was several times Downtown Houston and in the most affluent areas of our city: posters sporting ‘Beto’ all over the place, in front yards of multi-million homes – as well as in front of the shacks at the city outskirts … Beto not Ted was the hot topic in our city. Thank god Ted won!

      The plague progressed way to far and there’s no solution to it. We the People will eventually rise; probably not in my lifetime, though.

        Houston has a growing Muslim population. Since about 3 years, there are noticeable more women in head scarves in the city and the universities are hosting many International students from Islamic countries.

    This is disgusting. This prick Sylvester Turner is a traitor to our country and the state of Texas and the city of Houston. The governor of Texas should overturn this proclamation by this scumbag. Every day these moslems infiltrate our government and their only objective is to overcome our country and the world with sharia law. When are we going to start RESISTING.

      Total agreement with you, Patriot.

      Is there a militia or REPUTABLE organization or association of LEVEL-HEADED clear-thinking patriots united to fight back against evil and traitors in a LOGICAL SANE RATIONAL manner using tested effective communication methods that advances the cause without leaving itself open to easy attack by the enemies of We, the People?

      Hot-headed ignorant buffoons too often hurt their own cause by not using wisdom, common sense and tested tactics proven to work (think TV advertising, federal politicians spending BIG bucks for ads, etc). Copy the professionals and fight back against tyranny and traitors and CAIR and every other group spitting upon We, the People. I belong to Oath Keepers but, sadly, they are not declaring Islam an enemy. I support their 10 orders to not obey. I seek a PROFESSIONAL well-led group to take a stand against Islam. As former military I would also appreciate a PORTION of the organization devoted to some basic militaristic affairs… a way to stay in shape and… as the Boy Scouts state; “Be Prepared.”

      A very complicated topic. Can anybody guide me to a legitimate quality organization/association dedicated to confronting the threats to the USA? If none exist who among us has the qualities needed to start that organization?

        As I have imparted many times in the past, get rid of Soros, get rid of Hillary Rotten Clinton,

        and above all, get rid of Black Velvet, the former worthless Black turd, the POS, the token

        Tar-Baby, the despicable, 44th Muslim POTUS. As long as these 3 worthless Musketeers

        still maintain their freedom to support the “NEW WORLD ORDER,” ramrodded by George

        “NAZI” Soros, and the “MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD,” ramrodded by 44, planet Earth and the

        United States will not incur peace among men, until these 3 turds are no longer visible.

    So Houston has a moslim…or at the least, a lover of same…as mayor. At the very least, he is an idiot. Most likely, he is trying to woo the moslims, and esp the terror group, to maintain his political office….that is, if he is not secretly a moslim.

    The mb stated their purpose…to destroy the “miserable house from within.” Due to what’s-his-face not continuing with the trials of the c.a.i.r. members, they have been allowed to do exactly as the mb said they would.

    Pity the poor people of Houston who didn’t realize what they were voting for…or didn’t vote for the idiot in the first place, knowing what he is.
    The entire head of the camel is in the tent.

    • gravenimage says

      Dec 7, 2018 at 9:53 pm

      Probably not. As I note below, a lot of clueless people think that CAIR is a just a civil rights group–that’s how they present themselves.

      • somehistory says

        Dec 7, 2018 at 11:44 pm

        “Probably not” what? That he could be moslim? That he could be thinking they will help him stay in office? That I pity the poor people who didn’t realize what was going to happen with this idiot who is pandering to a terror group?

        My field of study in university was Criminal Justice/Pubic Safety with a whole slew…all the u offered… on anti-terrorism. One of my professors was a Special Agent with the FBI (people outside the agency called him a “profiler”), who has written books on his craft and trained police departments all over the world.

        People in public office can be given all kinds of information about groups that the average citizen doesn’t get. This fool mayor may understand who he is honoring..or he may be a complete fool and not know a blooming thing about anything.

        I lived in Texas for twenty years. South, west and north central. He would had to have heard about clock boy and what happened with the city of Irving. Texas is big, but the news does get around. Besides the big fight over the textbooks and moslim influence.

        My take is, if they do such as this guy, they *like* moslims and would have little trouble converting. I like Texas, but the state has a lot of fool politicians. And the state has had a lot of moslims for many years…going to the UT campuses all over.

        However, I’m not going to argue with you. I don’t come here to argue. And you don’t need my permission to disagree. But I’m not coming back to this discussion.

          Somehistory, all I meant is that Sylvester Turner is probably not Muslim–there is no indication that he has converted to Islam.

          Lots of idiots have uncritically accepted the idea that CAIR is a civil rights group.

          I doubt most mayors give most of this much thought–let alone really investigate what they are signing. This does *not* mean I am giving Turner a pass here–just that his signing this does not necessarily mean he is pro-Islam, let alone Muslim himself.

    For those who aren’t aware, Mayor Turner is a scandal plagued (refusing to publicly identify beneficiaries of city recycling contracts worth hundreds of millions) incompetent (sat helplessly while Houston flooded last year) with an IQ of 12. CAIR has probably slipped him a few bucks here and there and there’s no more to it than that.
