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

Owner of minor league baseball teams refuses to meet with Hamas-linked CAIR for being chairman of anti-terror group

Aug 17, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Note the AP’s description of Hamas-linked CAIR as “a Muslim civil rights group.” It doesn’t see fit to inform its readers that 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.

Note also that it cites the multiply-discredited Southern Poverty Law Center, the wealthy Leftist propaganda organization that defames and attempts to destroy groups that dissent from the Leftist agenda by classifying them as “hate groups,” but doesn’t say a word about the SPLC’s vicious bias.

And finally, note that Prentice was compelled to deny he was a “racist” for being chairman of the Center for Security Policy, which monitors and opposes jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women and others. What race is Sharia? What race is jihad terror? Is AP just stupid, or is it evil, or both?

“Connecticut Tigers owner refuses to meet with Muslim rights group, accusing it of supporting terrorists,” Associated Press, August 16, 2019 (thanks to the Geller Report):

The owner of two minor league baseball teams is refusing to meet with a Muslim civil rights group, accusing it of supporting terrorists.

The Connecticut chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations sought a meeting with E. Miles Prentice, owner of the Single-A Connecticut Tigers and co-owner of the Double-A Midland (Texas) RockHounds.

CAIR is concerned that Prentice is chairman of the Center for Security Policy, an organization identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as an anti-Muslim hate group.

Prentice said Thursday he is not a racist. He said he considers the SPLC “radical leftists” and has no plans to meet with CAIR.

“My colleagues and I at the Center for Security Policy are more than willing to debate the content of our research and advocacy on behalf of freedom and the practice of peace through strength with Americans of differing views, but who are also committed to freedom and our Constitution,” he said in a statement. “We see no utility, however, to meeting with, or otherwise legitimating, those who seek to silence us or are associated with terrorist organizations like Hamas.”…

    CAIR cannot denounce Hamas because it is a front for Hamas. Tigers’ owner Miles Prentice ‘gets it’. Thanks, Mr. Prenctice. I wish more leaders had your awareness.

    Prentice has obviously taken the time to read and inform himself about jihad terrorism.

      We need more people to treat the enemy as an enemy and not fall prey to their wicked infestation into American life and values. Islam is not a religion it is a theocratic cult posing as religion to gain all the benefits America awarded to legitimate Religions/

    Do I see a chink forming on the armor of the
    jihad victimization propaganda machine?
    Seems like people are less and less concerned about corporate media’s tired reactions to push back against the lies and subterfuge perpetrated by the jihadists.

    If we are in a ‘war against terrorism’, then we are in an ideological war against CAIR. CAIR is the front of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, both of which are terrorist organizations.

    Our motto: It’s the ideology, stupid.

      The State Department must be pressured to designate the Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. That should be a top piority for counter-jihad activists.

      Ditto x 100. CAIR should be shunned. The press are cowards. They used to seek the truth now they deny it.

    “My colleagues and I at the Center for Security Policy are more than willing to debate the content of our research and advocacy on behalf of freedom and the practice of peace through strength with Americans of differing views“

    Well how about that CAIR? “Care” to actually have an open and honest discussion about the substance of what the Center for Security policy says? “Care” to show the world just how bigoted the Center for Security Policy really is, as distinct from trying to intimidate them into silence? How about you SPLC? You’re both very long in accusations and very short in proof. Islamists and useful idiot fascists, respectively.

    What has gotten into CAIR lately? Take a look at their top page at https://www.cair.com/ .
    At the top right you’ll see a fund drive thermometer. The donation goal used to be ONE MILLION DOLLARS, but lately it has been reduced to only $350,000. Is CAIR experiencing hard times? And when the goal is reached, there is no razzle-dazzle hoopla; they just start a new fund drive, with no announcement. Where is CAIR’s sense of showmanship?
    And has Ibrahim Hooper been demoted within CAIR? Scroll down a bit on that page to the heading “Action Alerts”. All of Honest Ibe’s Action Alerts are over a year old!
    Maybe there’s a good reason why CAIR refuses to offer any evidence that it is among America’s top-ten “Muslim civil rights and advocacy organizations”.

      Kudos to Mr. Prentis. Someone with balls to stand up to that raging religifacisist lunacy. My experience has been that given enough time most muslims will be muslims in name only provided that enough westerners speak truth to them,given opportunity to raise a family without persecution and interaction on the job with normal people.Exposure to the lies in Islam,the hypocrisy, mental imprisonment and pure cruelty of it has many in my circle just walking away.

    I have long been a big minor league baseball fan, and now I have another reason to be.
