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

CAIR’s national outreach manager is open supporter of jihad terror group Hamas

Jan 17, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This is no surprise, really, except perhaps to those who actually believe what CAIR says of itself. 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. CAIR’s Hussam Ayloush in 2017 called for the overthrow of the U.S. government.

So will there be an outcry? Will the establishment media challenge Jinan Shbat for her support for Hamas, or Rashida Tlaib for her closeness to Shbat? Not on your life. After all, it isn’t as if some Congressman were photographed with a foe of jihad terror and Sharia oppression — now that would be cause for a scandal.

What an amazing day! Honestly my heart is SO full. Even after a long day she was still smiling and full of energy. So hopeful for the future! @RashidaTlaib ✊🏽✊🏽🇵🇸🇵🇸 pic.twitter.com/6tG0DBkIBR

Let's free the people from your pro-Zionist rhetoric.

If people can't understand by now that Hamas was created mid-80s as a resistance to Israel, that they are the only ones fighting for Palestinians from within Palestine (screw the PA), then you all need to just f*** off. https://t.co/3t5QHMWF3M

“CAIR official exposed as avowed Hamas supporter,” by Jordan Schachtel, Conservative Review, January 16, 2019 (thanks to the Geller Report):

A senior official of the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR) who spoke last week at an event celebrating the election of three Muslim members of Congress is an avowed supporter of the U.S.-designated terrorist group Hamas.

Jinan Shbat (who goes by “Jinan Deena” on Twitter), CAIR’s national outreach manager, tweeted her support for the Palestinian terrorist group in June, expressing her preference for Hamas over the Palestinian Authority, which governs the Palestinian areas of the disputed West Bank.

Last week, she opened CAIR’s congressional reception celebrating Democrat Reps. Rashida Tlaib, Mich., Ilhan Omar, Minn., and Andre Carson, Ind. Shbat spoke prior to CAIR executive director Nihad Awad, who has in the past also declared his support for Hamas. CAIR was founded by Hamas-tied operatives for the purpose of raising clandestine funds for the Gaza-based terror group. Today, CAIR describes itself as a “grassroots civil rights and advocacy group.”

This follows news that Rep. Tlaib invited Abbas Hamideh, an open Hezbollah (a U.S.-designated terrorist group) supporter and the executive director of the extremist group Al-Awda, to her inaugural private dinner party. In 2016, Shbat led a pro-Palestinian rally held by Hamideh’s Al-Awda. Officials within the extremist organization have supported terrorist groups and called for terrorist attacks against Israelis.

It is unclear whether Shbat was also invited to the private dinner, but she did appear in multiple photos that day with Rep. Tlaib and posted them on social media.

The CAIR official is not just a Hamas supporter. Shbat is a passionate advocate for Israel’s destruction, often taking to social media to express her support for the boycott of Israel and for the country’s extermination….

Conservative Review has reached out to Rep. Rashida Tlaib inquiring about her associations with Jinan Shbat. We will update the story if her congressional office responds.

    It may be that Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Omar Ahmad are too ignorant and blinded by the darkness and deception of Islam to know it but the jihad /Muslim terror organizations, they support Hamas , Hezbollah, etc. are all fated to fail in their Islamic agenda of destroying the State of Israel and replacing with Islamic “state.” The reason that they will lose in the end and lose hard is because the members of those jihad terror entities are striving against the Will of God. The members who compose those Islamic terror groups might be too ignorant to know this, nevertheless the truth is the God had given all this land that now composes the State of Israel, including all of the West Bank, to the Jewish people. This may be found in the Bible, as seen in, for example, Genesis 28:13-15. 35:10-12. Deuteronomy 32:48,49. Psalm 105:7-11. 135:4. In other words the Jews have tall this land by Divine Right.

    Furthermore, the Jewish people should have this land by historic rights as shown in First Kings 4:20,21, 24,25. 8:55, 56. Still, in all fairness, there is one way for Tlaib and Ahmad along with the Muslim members who make up Hezbollah, Hamas convince God to change His Mind about being so much for Israel and then cause Him to turn His back on Israel and then have that nation be no more. That way is for the members of the jihad origination to gather together and then change the laws of astrophysics, including those laws of astrophysics the control the sun, the moon and the stars. For God had declared in His Word, the Bible, in Jeremiah 31:35,36. “Thus saith the Lord, Who gives the sun for a light by day and the ordinances of the moon and stars for a light by night…The Lord of host is His name. If those ordinances depart from before Me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me forever.”

      As far as we know, virtually all Trudeau’s jihadist Muslim Caucus members are involved or closely aligned with NCCM. NCCM used to be CAIR-Can but changed their name when Canadians realized they are an arm of the American terrorist group.NCCM was the recipient of an unrequested $140 million from Trudeau when he was blackmailing Canadians to support his walk-in abortion clinics. Islam bans abortions yet Trudeau rewarded them. Obviously it pays to be a Muslim terrorist or terrorist organization in Trudeau’s Canada.

    In October of 2017, this article appeared on The NCCM also tried to brainwash students in the Toronto District School Board as to their definition of “Islamophobia”. Included in the TDSB’s Islamic Heritage Month Resource Guidebook for Educators. B’nai Brith Canada featured this write-up on their website. I don’t know what has resulted.

    https://www.bnaibrith.ca/islamophobia_definition_promoted_by_toronto_school_system_prompts_concern_from_b_nai_brith

    ===============================================

    October 2, 2017

    TORONTO – B’nai Brith Canada is raising concerns about an overly broad definition of Islamophobia adopted by the Toronto District School Board (TDSB), which would prohibit staff and students from criticizing “Islamic politics”.

    The TDSB’s Islamic Heritage Month Resource Guidebook, which will be used in schools across Toronto this October, defines Islamophobia as “fear, prejudice, hatred or dislike directed against Islam or Muslims, or toward Islamic politics or culture.” The Guidebook was designed by TDSB project co-chairs Nazerah Shaikh and Haniya Sheikh, with support from the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM).

    The TDSB definition, if enforced, could lead to punishment for students or teachers who display “dislike” toward the persecution of LGTBQ people in the Islamic Republic of Iran, harsh restrictions on women in Saudi Arabia, and Palestinian terrorism against Israelis, all of which are examples of “Islamic politics”.

    “We are deeply concerned by the contents of this Guidebook, and have contacted the TDSB to insist that they replace this absurdly overbroad definition of Islamophobia,” said Michael Mostyn, Chief Executive Officer of B’nai Brith Canada. “Fighting bigotry against Muslims can’t become a pretext for tolerating or whitewashing human rights violations in Muslim countries – but that’s exactly what this definition does.

    “There are many students in Toronto schools who have come to Canada fleeing persecution from countries like Iran, Pakistan or Saudi Arabia – and now the TDSB is telling them to stay silent about what they’ve suffered. It’s simply ludicrous.”

    The controversy surrounding the TDSB Guidebook comes against the backdrop of parliamentary motion M-103 condemning Islamophobia, which was passed by the House of Commons in March of 2017. B’nai Brith will give its input on M-103 before a parliamentary committee on October 18.

    Last night, I posted this on the thread about the foul-mouthed moslim “rep” with a bad rep. Some comments about this creepy individual were made by a Jewish politician in Florida, and c.a.i.r. is demanding that she be made to apologize and resign. So, far, she has not, but she is facing censer. She also said that she had “proudly” signed the petition to have tlaib impeached.

    These are excerpts from the Florida Sun Sentinel

    “Florida official may be reprimanded for comments about Muslim congresswoman
    FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – An elected official from Hallandale Beach who accused a newly elected Muslim congresswoman of being an anti-Semite who might “blow up Capitol Hill” could face censure from her commission colleagues.
    Commissioner Anabelle Lima-Taub has come under fierce attack in recent days for comments she made on Facebook after Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., was sworn into office.
    Muslim advocacy groups have been demanding an apology from Lima-Taub after the South Florida Sun Sentinel broke the story on Monday.
    Lima-Taub posted remarks on Facebook on Tuesday saying she had no plans to apologize or resign.
    Five days later, Lima-Taub signed an online petition seeking to remove Tlaib from office and posted the petition on her personal Facebook page.

    “Proudly signed,” Lima-Taub wrote. “A Hamas-loving anti-Semite has NO place in government! She is a danger and (I) would not put it past her to become a martyr and blow up Capitol Hill.”

    The Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) accused Lima-Taub of promoting xenophobic stereotypes.

    “CAIR-Florida strongly condemns the disgraceful racist and Islamophobic statements published by Commissioner Annabelle Lima-Taub,” director Wilfredo Ruiz said. “Her un-American, xenophobic statements establish that she is unfit to hold the commissioner’s seat. She must apologize immediately and follow up with her resignation.”

      In Jacksonville Fl the City Council voted to make Ahmed Parez: Former Chairman of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, to the Jacksonville’s Human Rights Commission…twice.
      According to his Bio on the University of North Florida’s website he is also: Director of Graduate Programs and Professor of Finance at the Coggin College of Business, University of North Florida (UNF) – he was the founding director at UNF’s Center for Sustainable Business Practices – also serves on the boards of Museum of Science and History, and the World Affairs Council of Jacksonville – In 2010 Folio Weekly named him “Person of the Year.” – In 2014 he was awarded the Silver Medallion Humanitarian Award by OneJax – In 2015 he was named Arthur Vining Davis Fellow to the Aspen Ideas Festival – writes editorials about Islam and the American Muslim experience – He is a regular contributor to Huffington Post. – teaches a special 10-week course titled, “Islam-the faith, the people and their politics,” at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute in UNF.
      Jacksonville is home to several mosques and coming islamic centers. It also has a very active Muslim Student Association at local colleges. Saudi dignitaries visit often, sometimes bearing gifts to community leaders, colleges and social programs. Gifts such as all expense paid trips to Saudi Arabia for local public school teachers and others. Previous Sheriff Rutherford, now U.S. Representative for Florida’s 4th congressional district, was a very willing recipient of this islamic wooing.

    What is wrong lately with CAIR? Although Jinan Shbat is CAIR’s “national outreach manager”, CAIR’s website at cair.com lists neither this title nor this name. (Can anybody find it?) Also, has our dear friend Ibrahim Hooper been purged? The top page at cair.com has (toward the bottom) five “IBRAHIM HOOPER Action Alerts”, but the most recent one is from over five months ago; there has been no word from him since. Above brother Ibe’s Action Alerts are “A Few Projects We’re Working On”. My favorite is “SPREAD LOVE, NOT ISLAMOPHOBIA: Educating decision-makers with facts”. This fund appeal started about three months ago, but not a cent has been donated toward its $360,000 goal. C’mon, Ummah, aren’t you embarrassed? Donate!

    Meanwhile, at the upper right of that page is a donation thermometer that is slowly approaching its goal amount of

    US group CAIR named terrorist organization by United Arab Emirates – The UAE banned CAIR and MAS along with approximately 80 other organizations, including the Muslim Brotherhood itself. CAIR and MAS are both U.S. Muslim Brotherhood entities. Why hasn’t the U.S. done the same? Why is the U.S. government shielding terrorist organizations, placing it’s citizens in danger inside their own neighborhoods? Why are we all forced to be players in Washington’s Jihad Lottery every time we leave our homes?
