CAIR Claims Gangland “Drive By” Was Attack on Ramadan Lights

May 8, 2019 1:00 pm By Daniel Greenfield

CAIR has become notorious for trying to pass off any violent incident involving a Muslim as an anti-Muslim attack.

The worst examples include the murder of Nabra Hassanen by a Latin American illegal alien after a violent confrontation between him and a group of teens, and the Chapel Hill parking dispute shooting.

Neither of those killings had anything to do with Islam.

And this drive by shooting probably doesn’t either. But Islamophobic hope springs eternal in CAIR’s public relations department.

The Cincinnati chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations today expressed concern about a report of shots fired at a Muslim family’s home in Monroe and is urging law enforcement authorities to investigate the possibility of a bias motive for the incident.

Someone fired three shots Monday night into the Muslim family’s home, narrowly missing two members of the family inside, according to a release from the Muslim civil rights group. Family members say they may have been targeted because they displayed lights outside the house marking the month-long fast of Ramadan.

I doubt that anyone except Muslims has any idea that the lights involve Ramadan. And the area is notorious for its gangland drive by shootings.

In early April, police said multiple shots were fired on two occasions into a home in the 400 block of Brandon Drive, less than two miles from the most recent incident.

No one was injured in either incident. Police have said the drive-by shootings were targeting a specific person who lived in that house.

There’s zero evidence of an Islamic motive. A more likely motive would involve gang membership.

CAIR is trying to turn this into a hate crime even though there’s zero evidence of motive.

While the police will prove to be a dead end, look for this incident to be rolled into future media and Islamic org roundups of attacks on Muslims. Much like the Chapel Hill shootings and Nebra’s murder were.

    Still waiting for CAIR to designate the violence in the “revealed”
    pages of the Queer’an as being “Anti-Muslim!”

    ————————————————————

    As if I care what CAIR does and thinks !

    Time to designate CAIR as being part of the terroristic operations
    under the schemes of Muslim Brotherhood to spread the dread
    of Shari’ahhhhhh…….

    The tragically raped and murdered Nabra Hassanen’s assailant — Latin American illegal alien — was “likely intellectually disabled” according to his representation.

    Meanwhile:
    —————-

    ADAMS Center Mosque told the public in a statement that the community was devastated by the killing, saying “it is a time for us to come together to pray and care for our youth.”

    On the Internet, some people expressed their outrage by criticizing the decision by police not to look into the killing as a hate crime. Isabella Burton of Vox wrote: “Hassanen has become another example of an innocent victim of Islamophobia.”

    Citizens of Washington D.C. gathered at the city’s park Dupont Circle commemorating Hassanen’s death, a 24-year-old man attempted to set fire to a fountain where the memorial took place and was arrested for vandalism. A sergeant later said there was no permanent damage found on the fountain and the police were not sure why the man was around.

    At a preliminary hearing for the accused in October 2017, supports and friends of the victim staged a protest outside of the Fairfax County Courthouse. Friends and family honored Hassanen’s 18th birthday by taking part in a charity event and giving back to others.

    Questioning nature of crime —

    Around 5,000 mourners attended Hassanen’s funeral and caused a traffic jam. While the majority of the attendees were Muslims, also seen were Christians and Jews. Hassanen’s father, Mohmoud Hassanen Aboras, was one of many Muslims who believed his daughter was killed because of her identity as a Muslim – when Hassanen was abducted, she was dressed in a Muslim robe known as abaya.

    Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman of the Council on American–Islamic Relations, said “there is a strong possibility the crime wouldn’t have happened if the teenagers weren’t Muslim”. A lawyer with CAIR said “Muslim Americans are particularly fearful now.”

    On the one year anniversary of the murder, members of Hassan’s community continued to question whether this was a hate crime.

    ——-

    So…

    Muzzies complain to high houri heaven about being discriminated against, whilst raising all sorts of havoc, hassle and violence as the firebrands many of them are. And, after noting how Muzzies behave all around the world, we are supposed to be fine, dandy and okay with them in our midst?

    NO WAY!!!!

    There is a reason for ISLAMOphobia !

    Just as if there were an epidemic of creepy spiders in your midst —
    biting and crawling and spawning more and more….

    That’s called ARACHNOphobia …. Justifiably.

    CAIR should care more about how Muzzies conduct themselves,
    since part of Relations between American(s) and Islamic(s)
    is to make sure Muzzies take more care !

    Careful, Muzzies! Don’t get out of hand! Behave!

      “Oh! Behave, you baby!”

    april was not ramada….BOOOM and my guess it was done by their own to try to make more victims out of themselves in order to get some useful idiots.

    …………………..

    Grotesque fake Muslim victimhood.

    This is more likely evidence of Muslim criminality than of “Islamophobia”.

    The forever poor muslims are so miserable it seems in America, they should leave.

    Hick who execute 3 muslim should be executed in return by the state for his crime of cold blood murder.

      What is “Brian hoff”–really, “DefenderofIslam”–babbling about here? No one was hurt in these incidents. I am no fan of drive-by shootings, but this is over kill at best.

      Or is the semi-literate “DefenderofIslam” referring to Craig Stephen Hicks?

      Here is that story:

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Chapel_Hill_shooting

      Now, shooting three people over parking issues is of course appalling.

      Hicks is indeed facing a death penalty case–but not, as “DefenderofIslam” claims, because the victims happened to be Muslim.

      But this from “Brian hoff” is standard Shari’ah–that any Infidel killing any Muslim for any reason–even self defense–has to be killed by the state.

      “Brian hoff” has said many times that he wants to impose Shari’ah law on us, and will do so as soon as he and his fellow Muslims are able.

        Good point.

        To a devout Muslim, thus following Shariah,
        the lives of Non-Muslims aren’t worth much.

    “Family members say they may have been targeted because they displayed lights outside the house marking the month-long fast of Ramadan.”

    Huh? What’s this about Christmas-tree-like lights to celebrate Ramadan? This sounds like bida. Please find the hadith that reports that the Prophet (pbuh) strung Ramadan lights along the eaves of his hacienda. Unfortunately, the newspaper article did not show a photograph of these lights, and I haven’t been able to find them for sale in Walmart.

      Besides, in Cincinnati the assumption would be they’re advertising for Ramada Inn and couldn’t spell.
