Hamas-linked CAIR top dog Nihad Awad said: “CAIR is proud to partner with the U.S. Census Bureau to ensure American Muslims are fairly and accurately counted in the 2020 Census.”
Was the Census Bureau partnering with any Jewish, Christian, Hindu, or Buddhist groups to ensure that their people were fairly and accurately counted in the 2020 Census?
Whose bright idea was this in the Commerce Department? Whoever implemented this partnership in the first place should be immediately fired. 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.
“Census Bureau abruptly ends just-announced partnership with Muslim advocacy group CAIR,” by Gregg Re, Fox News, August 29, 2019 (thanks to Athanasios):
EXCLUSIVE: The Commerce Department on Thursday terminated its just-announced planned partnership with the nation’s largest Muslim advocacy group, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, after Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” asked about the arrangement — given CAIR’s reported ties to the terrorist group Hamas, and its repeated attacks on the president.
“Based on further review, the Census Bureau is no longer partnering with CAIR,” the Commerce Department said in a statement to “Tucker.”
The plan, according to the group, was to enhance outreach efforts to Muslims using CAIR’s network of local offices. The census, conducted once a decade, has been used not only to determine congressional apportionment, but also as a critical planning tool for state, local and federal agencies.
However, CAIR and the Trump administration would have been strange bedfellows — and tension in the relationship was evident earlier Thursday. Reached by Fox News prior to the Census Bureau’s decision, CAIR openly derided the Trump administration as “white supremacist” despite the partnership.
“The Census Bureau, like CAIR, is nonpartisan,” the organization said. “CAIR is not receiving any government funding as part of this project to promote Muslim participation in the U.S. census. We continue to believe that President Trump and his administration promote a white supremacist, anti-immigrant and Islamophobic agenda.”
In its official statement on Wednesday announcing the partnership, however, CAIR sounded a more positive note.
“CAIR is proud to partner with the U.S. Census Bureau to ensure American Muslims are fairly and accurately counted in the 2020 Census,” Nihad Awad, CAIR’s national executive director, said in a news release earlier on Thursday. “Full participation in the census ensures that American Muslims will be better represented in Congress and that their communities receive an equal share in state and federal programs.”
The organization added: “CAIR wants to ensure that not only are American Muslim communities being fairly counted, but that their neighbors are getting a fair share in federal and state funding.”
In 2009, the FBI severed its once-close ties to CAIR amid mounting evidence that the group had links to a support network for Hamas.
Local chapters of CAIR were shunned in the wake of a 15-year FBI investigation that culminated in the conviction of Hamas fundraisers at a trial in which CAIR itself was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator.
The U.S. government has designated Hamas as a terrorist organization.
The FBI previously had invited CAIR to give training sessions for agents and used it as a liaison with the American Muslim community….
Angemon says
How? By replacing the “Don’t talk with the FBI” flyers with “Talk to the Census”?…

There must be still in existence in the files, documents with somebody’s signature on them. That person or those people should be immediately fired and barred from any other government service, in any capacity whatsoever !
Whom ever it is is a filthy muslim sympathizer and a danger to our nation !
Such blatant favoring of a sworn enemy institution of American values should not be tolerated in the least !
Let the public know who it is ! I would like to know, myself, so I can be sure not to vote or support anything they support. Further, to be able to warn my friends and acquaintances of their sneaky, anti-Amerian, muslim supporting behavior !
gravenimage says
I am in no way excusing this, but a lot of clueless people still believe that CAIR is a benign civil rights group, and are unaware of its dark links to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. Still not excuse to single out Muslims for special consideration, though.
PRCS says
I saw that on Tucker Carlson’s show, during which the partnership’s dissolution was announced.
In short order, that ‘proud’ CAIR/Census Bureau partnership press release disappeared from CAIRs website.

James Lincoln says
Tucker Carlson at least, albeit very very carefully, takes on Islam.
Mainstream media won’t touch it.
Marilyn Griffin says
This is good news, but it is beyond disappointing that our census bureau ever even considered working with CAIR. No real excuse for that.
Dave Menard says
yes. why? cair infiltrating our u.s. gov’t. is obscene.cair is pro muslim anti christian, anti american citizen.
evil.
SweetOlBob says
Dave:
Absolutely correct ! That litigious, put up lawsuit bunch of charlatans and their oily appearing leader “Awadosnot” should be barred from the United States.
heir so called cooperation could only be a ruse to inflate the number of filthy muslims in our nation and then claim more favors and special treatment for their heathen lot ! This would be a much better and more secure nation with ZERO muslims !
somehistory says
Steve Emerson reported on this “partnership” as well as the termination of the plan.
It’s clear that cair wanted it to gain more power in government, and with that power, more control.
If used carefully, the bureau might have been able to gain some insight into the ‘moslim community/communities’ and use that to defeat the purpose of cair’s involvement. But, government workers and decision makers don’t always use their brains for the best of the majority.
o had wanted “moslim” to be a separate category on the census, but his idea was defeated. Likely cair thought they could wiggle around and get this on the next census anyway. Designating “moslim” a “race” would have been a big coup for cair and all of the groups under the moslim brotherhood umbrella.
Then, if anyone objected to them or to moslims in general, or to islam, they could claim “racism” and have “proof” from the Census Bureau.
James Lincoln says
Exactly, somehistory.
Their whole idea was to be able to eventually play the race card. For some strange reason which I cannot understand, the left – and Muslims in the United States – somehow think that Islam is a race, or at least they’re pushing that agenda.
somehistory says
James Lincoln,
The “left” wants to use any means to undermine those with whom they disagree or whom they just dislike.
moslims want to be able ti use the word “racism’ or “racist” to batter their enemies down as the left has battered theirs with those same words. Of course, islam is not a race, and all races of the race of man have become or were born, moslim, moslims, esp those in groups like cair, or those with some political power, like omar and as “o” had while in the oval office, use the words of race, but it isn’t as effective as it would be if they were all of one race, esp if they were all Black.
If they could get moslim as a designation on the census form…as Latinos did with hispanic …this would be a huge win for them…because they could then say “racist” and “racism” and more effectively than they are able to do now.
The know they are not a separate race. It’s just that they see power in the word.
KWJ says
In the weird world of Islamic “logic,” they think of the human race as Muslims-believers in Allah, Islam being the superior race. The subhumans are all the unbelievers. Women are a sub-race since they are inferior to men according to Islam. But the unbelievers are the inferior race though Christians and Jews get 3 choices and pagans and others get two, that is convert or die.
So, even though Islam displays racism towards black Africans whether they are Muslims or not and Muhammad made fun of them, they have this division of the human race. Therefore, Islam is racist in our terms…they think they are superior to the race of unbelievers. This is old doctrine.
But you’re probably right about accusations of racist but people are already calling people racists for anything that doesn’t have to do with racism which is thinking your race is superior to another race. This more modern usage of racism is often misused for prejudice, bias and stereotyping groups, any kind of groups.
I don’t know if Islam’s racial idea is because of the Jews or why but they have a lot of illogical ideas.
Mainly there is a political or practical reasons but having a special designation that every other religion doesn’t have is more of that supremacy business. No forthright person would ask for a religious designation knowing that the census wants to know race. Hispanic isn’t a race just a Spanish speaker so I guess Latino, maybe…they use Pacific Islander and we’re supposed to infer it’s some brown Native not a white person born there. If you are a Caucasian Muslim you are white. Someone said Obama wanted “Muslim” on the census. So if a black Muslim checks off that he’s black because his skin color is more important since that what people see then that wouldn’t be a Muslim count and if he just checked off Muslim it wouldn’t be a black count. If you did that you would have to do that for EVERYONE. What was Obama thinking?? Certainly not like a secular-minded American. There are polls about religions, the census doesn’t need that.
CAIR tries to push everything each time hoping that some sucker unbeliever will bend over and enjoy being humiliated for allowing such stupid nonsense.
So Islam is racist and supremacist but they’ll take converts of any kind but still be individually racist towards darker people. They don’t feel superior to whites in a color way but they’ve got the superior “Muslim race.”
Ok, I belabored that but it’s kind of funny how screwy Islamic thinking is especially with war.
somehistory says
I recall reading some time ago, a couple of years maybe…time is melting one day into the next…a cleric or mullah or imam, said, “There is no logic in islam.”
moslims say whatever will spread their filth of belief. moslims will do whatever will spread their filth of belief. They will use whatever tool or weapon devised by men or demon to do this.
I’m with you on the definition of “racism” and “racist” and have been seeing the misuse of these words for a long time. Some allow the words to cause them to stop thinking, talking, believing the truth of things, or even just their own personal opinions.
o did want moslim on the census. He isn’t the smart person he believes himself to be, nor is he as sharp as some others think. I believe he thought it would make it easier for moslims to use the race baiting words to greater advantage as well as get “extra funding’ for moslim groups like cair.
BTW, I have noticed on a lot of government forms that there is no longer just “White” as a choice, but it must be “White/non hispanic.”
Hugh Fitzgerald says
Good news.
Now find out who was behind the idiotic initial decision. If there was no provision made, as you write, for similar cooperation between the Census Bureau and “Jewish, Christian, Hindu, or Buddhist groups to ensure that their people were fairly and accurately counted in the 2020 Census” why was an exception made for Muslims? Answers, please, from an internal investigation at the Census Bureau. .
KWJ says
Exactly. Just as the term “protected groups” is discriminatory so is having a religious designation rather than the person’s race, i.e., Muslims like Christians can be any race including Hispanics which aren’t a race because it means Spanish speaking. (Brazilians aren’t Hispanic.)
Census Bureaus should have no concern with religions. Muslims can pretend they are race, as historically they like to think they are, perhaps as with Jews, but they’re not-it’s a religion. They are no different than any other religion comprised of members of different races. If you put Muslim then you have to put every religion including no religion.
Right, an explanation should be explored on why this pairing with CAIR was even considered. Someone said Obama wanted a Muslim designation. Apparently Obama wasn’t thinking of equality but rather census jihad for its political ramifications and voting.
SweetOlBob says
obama* was and IS a muslim fraud ! Both he and the democRATS want to hide the number o non-citizens taken into the census so that they count toward representatives for the large, ghetto states, and put real Americans at a disadvantage.
*Lower Case Intentional
Aussie Infidel says
It seems crazy that the US Census Bureau cannot ask questions about the ethnicity and legitimacy of its citizens. Is it simply a politically correct mindset within the Bureau? Or a leftist judge in the courts who decided this issue? These questions – and others about religious affiliation etc – are routinely asked in the Australian census which is conducted every five years.
To think that the President has to resort to issuing an executive order to circumvent such a bureaucratic obstacle, is ridiculous. What’s the problem with this information becoming public knowledge? Does it infringe some clause in the US Constitution? Or simply aggravate the political Left who like to keep such information under wraps? Surely in a democracy, the people have a right to know this information for many different reasons – including national security.
gravenimage says
Aussie Infidel, the US Census does indeed ask questions about race and ethnicity–but not about legal status. It is just supposed to enumerate how many people are in the country, not whether they are here legally. This has been its basic role since 1790.
James Lincoln says
gravenimage,
Your post is factual, however it would also be nice to know just how many people are in the United States illegally…
CRUSADER says
USA needs to know who and what status people are
in order to best address concerns and issues and problems.

I agree that this is important information for us to have, but the Census is not the agency for this.

Census Bureau abruptly ends just-announced partnership with Hamas-linked CAIR

*Good*. The Census does not tabulate information on religion in any case, so this “partnership” never made any sense.
CRUSADER says
How do we know if USA has 1% Muslims or 3% Muslims?
gravenimage says
CRUSADER, I’m not saying that it is not important to know how many Muslims are here. But clearly CAIR is *not* interested in our learning how many Muslims are here threatening us.
CAIR does *not* want Infidels to be safe.
joanofark06 says
CRUSADER, lucky for you, I have been archiving everything islam/muslim, since 9/11, and when I find an article or something, showing how many muslims are in THIS country (or any country in the world), I grab it.
So, just recently, I found this:
U.S. Muslim population set to double by 2040, Pew Research Center finds
And here’s the FIRST paragraph, from that article, in case you don’t want to read the whole thing:
Measuring how many Muslims live in the United States is difficult because the U.S. Census Bureau does not ask about religion, and thus there are little official government statistics available on the subject[1]. However, research from the Pew Research Center, conducted as part of their 2017 survey of Muslims “which reported on the prevalence of Muslims among immigrants and other demographic groups”, suggests there were approximately 3.45 million Muslims living in the U.S. in 2017, meaning Muslims comprised approximately 1.1% of the total U.S. population[2].
http://www.euro-islam.info/2018/01/25/u-s-muslim-population-set-double-2040-pew-research-center-finds/
And just to add, I have many more links about this subject, but I’ll just say, that EVERYONE of them, are a little less or more, in the number of MILLIONS. We have not hundreds of them, not thousands, but millions (of these satan followers). So as for percentages, it is a little less or more, than what that article, has.
Hope that helped.

Crusader:
The oily appearing “Awadosnot” wants to amplify the number of muslims so that he can use the data to demand more special considerations for the heathen rabble.
Just think about productive America without filthy muslims. Wow ! Predictable production ! No paid for “prayer” breaks ! No foot washing ! No put up lawsuits for working attire violations ! No demands that everyone else follow their rules for their special fasting.
Our GNP would increase by a measurable percentage at no cost to us.
And with NO muslims ………. No jihad stabbings of innocent people by inbred, 6th Century, religious Nuts hollering Alley Snackbar !
What a wonderful world !
Genevieve says
any percent is too much; who in their right mind would partner with cair, supporter of terrorism worldwide; not anyone with two brain cells to rub together. cair/islam/socialism are all in the same pot. thank you, tucker, for bringing out the truth of the matter which the msm will NEVER do as they are part of the problem.

True, Rooster.
mortimer says
Ah … DOUBLE STANDARDS !
So the plan is that the Muslims in America will be treated by the same standard as everyone else.
There should never have been superior standards for Islam. But that is what Muslims must demand … K.61.9 (Muhammad Sarwar version) : It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the true religion to STAND SUPREME OVER all religions, even though the pagans may dislike it.
liyuz’hirahu = to gain dominance (over all other religions or governmental systems)
K.61.9 is a political commandment for Muslims to take over all governmental systems.
ronyvo says
I am wondering, and actually, demanding ( I guess that as a patriotic American I CAN DEMAND, if those criminal Muslims CAIR are keeping demanding actions which are against our way of life or even our laws, I say I demand that those Muslim criminals put in jail for national treason.

CENSUS BUREAU DROPS CAIR PARTNERSHIP AFTER IPT REPORT
“CAIR,” prosecutors wrote, “has been identified by the Government at trial as a participant in an ongoing and ultimately unlawful conspiracy to support a designated terrorist organization, a conspiracy from which CAIR never withdrew.” It may have come late, but the Census Bureau now seems to agree with the FBI. CAIR’s record makes it difficult to see the group “as an appropriate liaison partner.” Steven Emerson

Every person should read the Muslim Brotherhood Plan for the USA; it identifies everything they are doing and getting by with to overtake our country, little at a time. Of course, with obamahole giving them free rein for eight years they got a serious foothold in our government which should have never happened. We must stand up and fight everything these cretins want as none of it is in the best interest of our country.
