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.
Just the sort of group that ought to be directing our counterterror efforts, no?
“Bloomberg should never apologize for NYPD’s ‘Muslim mapping’ work,” New York Post, November 28, 2019:
Predictably, Michael Bloomberg is facing calls for him to renounce yet more of his mayoral legacy. The latest: Activists want a mea culpa for the NYPD’s “Muslim mapping” project.
By rights, Bloomy should boast about cops’ anti-terror work on his watch. But the Democratic primaries are all about appeasing the party’s ideological extremes.
Bloomberg needs to “disavow this program,” insists Muslim Advocates chief Farhana Khera. He should “see the error of his ways and apologize,” says Ahmed Mohamed of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror-financing case). Columns at The Atlantic and Daily Beast also blasted the program.
Bloomberg became mayor soon after 9/11, when the jihadi threat was a huge worry. His NYPD innovated on a host of fronts to successfully prevent new terror attacks; surveillance programs contributed heavily to that success.
Critics claim Muslims were “victims,” yet how? Basically, cops (mainly Muslims themselves) merely went to Muslim areas to become more familiar with them and gain background info for future investigations or leads on possible attacks.
Despite three lawsuits, no court ever found fault with the program, and the NYPD never admitted to any wrongdoing, even in settlements pushed by Mayor Bill de Blasio after he won on a cop-bashing platform.
In one case, a judge found plaintiffs failed to show “they were targeted solely because of their religion.” The “more likely explanation for the surveillance was to locate budding terrorist conspiracies,” he said. And even if plaintiffs could show “injury,” it couldn’t be “fairly” traced to the city.
Years after 9/11, Police Commissioner Bill Bratton scrapped the program, finding other ways to achieve the same goals. But the NYPD under Bloomberg and Commissioner Ray Kelly kept New York safe at a critical time — without crossing any lines….
James says
The Muslims expect other countries to stick their heads in the sand while they carry on terrorist activities to undermine the security of the country and legitimate Islamization attempts. This is just more of the same.

A Moslem, Omar in the Church.
God help us.

Ruling out “temporary marriages” are muslimas allowed to “fornicate” between marriages? Do they ask permission of their male guardians first? Do they have to stay celibate for 3 months or so before any marriage to anyone else? Is Omar simply becoming too shamelessly Westernized? Or is she just mocking us when she knows a preacher would be entirely unwelcome “proselytizing” in one of her Islamic bastions. One more cup of fart for the road.
gravenimage says
Muslimahs inn Dar-al-Islam don’t get many chances to “fornicate” besides being maritally raped by their husband–unless they want to risk being “Honor Killed” or stoned to death. Muslim men are a different matter…
Carol the 1st says
It’s like she’s pretending to be hip and Western-friendly. Either that or she doesn’t know how to be a proper muslima. Maybe she’s a gypsy!- good excuse to have a song break!:

Carol, a lot of idiots consider Omar a “progressive”.

These people only get more and more defiant by the day. Fighting a military war against radical islamists alone will not help eradicate their radical Islamic ideology. A legal/ diplomatic action must be undertaken to either repeal the violent verses of the Koran or outlaw it all together.
The west cannot move forward with that malignant concept of dhimmitude in Islam.

Count on Bloomberg caving. He’s just another willfully ignorant dhimmi, made all the worse because he is Jewish.
Just as the last people who should apologize for Islam are blacks, let alone being foolish Mo followers, so is it the case almost to the same degree with any Jew—like Bloomberg.
Black and Jews should have nothing, NOTHING, to do with defending Islam. The reasons for this are voluminous (examples to be found in the very Koran itself—Suras 2,5,7 and 98 serving as a few examples here). Look to the Islamic texts themselves (the Koran, hadiths and sira), and the actual historical record, for confirmation of this contention, which I think is easily and overwhelmingly valid.

Hamas-linked CAIR demands Bloomberg apologize for NYPD counterterrorism program
………………
Any attempts at all to protect Infidels from Jihad terror–no matter how sporadic or flaccid–are considered “Islamophobic” by Muslims.
I hope Bloomberg tells them to take a flying leap–but given his history, a cringing apology is more likely.
Rob says
+1. He’ll cave. The West is always ready with a pre-emptive cringe – Bernard Lewis.
gravenimage says
I hope not, Rob–but he probably will.
Terry says
He’ll make a cringing apology which is why the country needs Trump for four more.
Kalim Alaka says
Read the Hadith Sira and Koran???
somehistory says
One should not apologize for having done the right thing, the moral thing, the ethical thing.
This isn’t like a doctor telling a patient, “I’m sorry” before, during or after hurting the patient.
If this man sat on a jury and heard evidence that proved beyond the legal doubt, and beyond any other doubt, that the defendant had committed the crime, he would not apologize for finding the defendant guilty. He would just do his job and go with the evidence.
There is so much evidence that moslims learn terror inside their barracks. Weapons and terror materials, brochures and pamphlets, have been found in more than one; and about 90% have been found to encourage terror attacks. All…without exception…teach hatred of other people, esp Jews and Christians. Because they teach the filthy book, they teach the filthy hate.
Many people, esp those in authority, speak of “hate crimes” and that citizens should be severely prosecuted if found guilty of a “hate crime.” Every terror attack is a “hate crime.” Every one of the terror attempts, and the successful attacks, have been based on hate.
He should not apologize. If anything, he should brag about how he helped keep New Yorkers and visitors to the city, safer from terror committed in the name of islam.
clive delmonte says
Exactly right. I agree with you.
mortimer says
So … CAIR is insisting that doing surveillance on known terrorist sympathizers is somehow wrong!
But CAIR would complain if the police had failed to investigate someone who threatened CAIR’s offices.
CAIR’s double standards are so predictable.
Lydia Church says
Counter-terrorism?
“Well now, we can’t have that!”
Said one terrorist to another…
Politicallyincorrectistruth says
The fact that CAIR opposes the ‘anti-terrorist’ program itself is in-your-face evidence that CAIR should be designated a terrorist group. CAIR instructed muslims not to co-operate with any terrorist investigation…more evidence they are a terrorist group. How much more blindingly obvious evidence does Trump/Gov need to call it a terrorist group? CAIR is against the whole constitution of the U.S. This cancer should be removed completely instead of putting on band-aids…or it will spread, multiply and overwhelm the host.
WPM says
Bloomberg will cave ,he caved on the stop and frisk policy in NYC he put into effect to get guns off the streets of the city. He was hugging Sharpton in the nightly news report saying what a good man he was for the community when Bloomberg denounce his own stop and frisk policy as a mistake targeting in Sharpton,s words black youths. How many people in the black community were saved from gun violence by Bloomberg policy. He will soon appease CAIR and any other outfits the left embrace to curry democratic votes and favor.

; They want an “apology”- Read – they want to steal more hard-working tax-payers money on top of their tax-free status as a “charity”, via a you’re “-phobic” law-suit.
Terry says
Back when we were blazing across the wilderness in covered wagons, Europe sipped tea with pinky fingers in the air all the while scorning us as uncivilized and not worth a second thought. Those same sophisticated societies that dismissed us as a savage bunch of hooligans are perishing under the weight of Islamophobia, and Bloomberg is one of them. Trump and We the People are the covered wagon pioneers ready to take on CAIR WITHOUT APOLOGIES.
