Predictably, Hamas-linked CAIR is claiming that resistance to their propaganda initiative is itself a sign of “Islamophobia.” But in reality, this unsavory group has no business in the public (or private) schools. 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. CAIR’s national outreach manager is an open supporter of Hamas.
“San Diego school district and parents reach settlement over Muslim civil rights program,” by Rupa Shenoy, PRI, April 5, 2019:
The San Diego Unified School District settled in late March with a group of parents who sued over the district’s possible partnership with the Council on American–Islamic Relations, a national advocacy organization, on an anti-Islamophobic bullying program in schools.
The agreement specifies that guest speakers from religious organizations are not permitted to present to students on religious topics. Educators can’t show a preference for one religious viewpoint over another. And religions must be taught in the context of world history, with the “time and attention spent discussing each religion being proportionate to its impact on history and human development,” the agreement says.
But just how that’s measured, and who does the measuring, isn’t clear.
The group of parents who sued, including members of the San Diego Asian Americans For Equality Foundation, say the settlement is a victory.
“Any speaker from CAIR or from any other religious organization is not supposed to talk about the religion topic to the students. And that’s an additional protection, from my point of view,” said foundation board member Frank Xu.
The district’s attorney, Andra M. Greene, says teachers can still talk specifically about Islamophobic bullying, but they will also talk about all kinds of bullying. She says she’d hardly call this settlement a victory for the parents who sued because the district was doing everything in the agreement already, and nothing’s really changing.
Gadeir Abbas, CAIR’s attorney, agrees, but he sees the lawsuit itself as evidence of growing Islamophobia. He points to a recent mosque arson attack in San Diego, where the perpetrator referenced terrorist attacks in March at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, which killed 50 people…
The lawsuit began in 2016 when Muslim parents and students came to the San Diego Unified School District Board of Education about bullying. CAIR offered to partner with the district on an anti-bullying curriculum. That curriculum would have included creating safe spaces for Muslim students and sending staff and parents letters about Islamophobia…
“I do believe that this is the first of what’s going to be many attempts to exclude the Muslim community from public schools throughout the country,” Abbas said. “This is a sign of things to come.”

Critical thought is considered Islamophobic by Sharia supremacists. Islamic law requires ‘TAQLID’ blind following of what the Islamic clerics say without asking for any explanation.

When #1 on the agenda–for 1400 years–has been WORLD DOMINATION….
Nothing surprises me about this supremacist software.

“I do believe that this is the first of what’s going to be many attempts to exclude the Muslim community from public schools” – CAIR’s attorney Gadeir Abbas
Anyone want to call him out on that deceptive statement? Anyone? He’s saying when you resist the Muslim Communities inroads into the proselytizing of Islam in public education centers is an act of “exclusion”.
Because the infidel isn’t allowed to resist indoctrination-conversion into Islam. The infidels are only permitted the three options to either convert, pay the dhimmi tax, or death. Resisting Islam is an act of excluding the Muslim community. Do you people even understand that? Because that’s exaclty what Abbas means.

Kudos to the above posters one and all.
The long recent threads here about Ilhan Omar stir me to think: How did we fail this young woman and so many others? How does it come about that, despite living in unprecedented plenty and affluence, say nothing of freedom, they want to turn our world into Mogadishu? How does any reasoning creature arrive at the notion that starvation is preferable? Despite living in peace and security they prefer to turn our streets into Yemen. How does a human mind come to consider these things preferable? And how do they do it despite the evidence of their own eyes and ears plus their free admission to the best-subsidised schools in the history of the world?
How do they come to give allegiance to all the demonstrable complete falsehoods Islam promotes?
The judgment of our society is that crack cocaine and methamphetamine make people crazy and violent and hence should be prohibited. While I’m a libertarian and have problems with the government telling me what I can put in my very own personal body, I understand the logic.
Now apply it to Islam.
Yes I absolutely want their poison excluded from my public schools, for the same reason I don’t want my taxes spent on teaching a new generation to take a value-neutral multicultural view of the Manson cult.

Well Put! Islam is a Religion of Peace was introduced after the 9-11 attacks. President George W Bush was the first to use it. All book and articles written before 9-11 do not mention it as a Religion of Peace.

Islamophobia is the well placed fear that some deranged follower of Mohamed seeks to murder you and all other innocents in the name of this cult.

+1. I’ve said the same thing here, just not quite as well.

“She says she’d hardly call this settlement a victory for the parents who sued because the district was doing everything in the agreement already, and nothing’s really changing.”
Hmm. Well, there is one important difference – CAIR is out. That’s a big deal.
Also, there is the fact that CAIR can’t make up their mind whether they are a religious org or an Civil Rights group. The law suit reference another case when SEIU 500 tried to organize the CAIR Washington DC staff. Nihad Awad testified claiming CAIR was exempt from NLRB rules because CAIR is a religious org.
Later, in San Diego, they claimed they are a civil rights group that is”faith based”.
The whole CAIR thing is starting to unravel.

“because the district was doing everything in the agreement already, and nothing’s really changing.”
**************************
No, this is lie to say “the district was doing everything in the agreement”….because they had cair coming in and having a say in what was being taught, and making the school have special attention for moslim students…setting them up on a pedestal as students entitled to special privileges and consideration. All while teaching that islam is terrific.
And…the second part.. “nothing’s really changing.”….This should concern the parents. They should be in the faces of the school staff, making sure that cair is not still there. And if they find that “nothing’s changing”…they need to be on it like a hungry flea on a dog.
moslims must not be allowed to dictate what the students learn. They have only an evil intent and won’t stop just because the government says to. Just take a look…if you can stand looking…at omar. She was told her speech was offensive and insulting…and she has yet to stop it. She works for cair…and cair is the org going to the schools.
somehistory says
“Gadeir Abbas, CAIR’s attorney”…..references an “attack” on a barracks in San Diego and the “lawsuit itself” as proof of the infamous and fake “phobia.”
However, Daniel Greenfield has an article with facts on the attacks on 3 Synagogues in 3 States, in three months…this year…by moslims; and he also documents hate speech against Jews by three other moslims in three other states….in which the moslms are saying how Jews need to be killed.
But of course, this “cair attorney” will never admit that his “brothers’ are involved in such illegal things.

““I do believe that this is the first of what’s going to be many attempts to exclude the Muslim community from public schools throughout the country,” Abbas said.”
They refuse to assimilate then complain about being excluded.
What is wrong with this picture??

Is not the sword of Allah mightier than the mere facts and logic of any kafir? Pay jizya and be humiliated. Teach in your schools: your protection as a dhimmi can be revoked at any time, and with it your life or your liberty.
Baron Tunamelt says
CAIR is being blocked because parents don’t want kids to attend a “religious” meeting. Terrorists being blocked by the left attempt to destroy the first amendment; the freedom of speech/worship…
I want to be glad CAIR is being defeated, but not at the cost of the first amendment

In some German states church-visits are discouraged while mosque visits are mandatory. Non compliance has serious consequences.
NotALibNoMo says
CAIR is just a terror group. It’s members and officers are just terrorists. Period. Straight up.
Tom says
Protection and education of kids in school against bullying is always a good thing, BUT as with many aspects of our society where CAIR and other Islamic organizations become involved, it becomes ALL about alleged bullying or victimization of Muslims or Islamophobia against Muslims.
This approach is typical of the strategies employed by Islamists to slowly gain control of the agenda and the narrative in favour of Islam and to the detriment of all others.
Resistance to this approach is necessary if the indigenous society is to remain in control of its own future and not become subservient to the demands of Islamists disguised as victims, who are actually wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Interesting side note, in the Apple text app you can type the word islamaphobia and it’s a real word according to Apple. However Christianaphobe no matter how you spell it is not. When you type islam into the app the emoji for islam appears and when you type any version of the word Christian the emoji for that does not automatically appear, they are a protected and doted on class and they get preferential treatment.

CAIR is dangerous an should be sued out of business….
