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

As Muslim Is Arrested for NY Subway Plot, CAIR Demands Bloomberg Apologize for Counterterror Program

Dec 1, 2019 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

My latest in PJ Media:

It was a spectacular case of bad timing: the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has demanded that former New York City mayor and new presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg apologize for a counterterror program that operated on his watch – just as a Muslim was arrested for plotting a jihad massacre on the city’s subway system.

Farhana Khera, the leader of Muslim Advocates, demanded that Bloomberg “disavow this program.” CAIR’s Ahmed Mohamed sounded a religious note, saying that Bloomberg must “see the error of his ways and apologize.”

What did this terrible program do? The New York Post explains: “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.” As if that weren’t innocuous enough, the Post adds that “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.”

The judge in one of those lawsuits said that the plaintiffs had not proven that “they were targeted solely because of their religion.” He said that the “more likely explanation for the surveillance was to locate budding terrorist conspiracies.”

Who could object to that? CAIR, of course. 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 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.

The group’s outrage at the NYPD program isn’t singular, either: CAIR has opposed virtually every anti-terror measure that has been proposed or implemented. Just the sort of group that ought to be directing our counterterror efforts, no?

There is much more. Read the rest here.

      Oh CAIR would love that wouldn’t they… instead how about we declare CAIR a terrorist organization….

    Bloomberg erred by putting TERRORISTS and their SUPPORT NETWORK under surveillance? Is that a bad thing?

    Rudolph Giuliani put the Mafia and their support network under surveillance. Should Giuliani apologize to the Mafia?

    • mortimer says

      Of course, Bloomberg is not being criticized for surveillance, but merely for doing an ‘OUTREACH’ program of ‘winning hearts and minds’, so that police could develop trust from within the Muslim community. So, should the NYPD DISREGARD the Muslim community and make NO ATTEMPT WHATSOEVER to develop rapport?

    But-but-but subway terror plots hatched by Muslims “have nothing to do with Islam”! It’s those damn Eskimos again.

    Why the hell do we/President Trump allow CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood to operate in the U.S. openly and freely when both are worldwide Islamic terrorist organizations? Deport all members, all of whom work feverishly within America to undermine, subvert, destroy our Constitutional Republic. They build mosques, promote Islam in Public Schools and Universities, fund Muslim Student Organizations, lobby Congress, fund Democratic Socialist events, promote Antifa and Black Lives Matter. They’ve become an integral part of the Democratic Brain Trust.

      You answered your own question in the last sentence of your post.
      “Why do we/President Trump, allow CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood to operate in the U.S. openly when we know both are world wide terrorist organizations?
      Answer: They’ve become an integral part of the Democratic Brain Trust.
      America stands naked and unprotected between two agendas that want to destroy her.
      A billionaire Socialist One World Order Globalist on one side and the g’had declared against America by the Islamic terrorists, funded by CAIR. .

    I’m no fan of Bloomberg. But apparently he was doing something right because CAIR is demanding all sorts of apologies from him. I would hope that Bloomberg officially tells them to pound sand. But I suspect he’ll just ignore them in the hope that the story will go away.

    • James Lincoln says

      Gork,

      You are correct, when CAIR is upset – and demanding apologies – somebody is doing something right…

      If Nanny Bloomberg wants to stay in the race with the socialists he will have to declare himself ‘woke’ and label all conservatives racist, misogynists, and homophobic. Especially when we have a gay entrant in the race.

    Ahh well, not this time (‘can’t win ’em all, all of the time), they’ll just have to be patient and wait a little longer till they get a few more Ilhan Omar-type muslim operatives voted (or appointed) into stacked positions of legislative and judicial power, …then it’s all clear sailing. ……unless, of course, a hell of a lot more of the general public suddenly wake up to exactly what is going on, and just what is very stealthily happening to their America! [And I mean that earestly for Australia too, with our own increasing number of ‘little Tehrans, Islamabads, and no-go énclaves’ stealthily growing and mastastisizing like cancer].
    They are playing this ‘islamophobia’, ‘poor bugger persecuted me’ bit like a Stradivarius!

    Gee…Uncle Sam stops a jihad terror attack and Uncle Sam is in the wrong. This anti jihad program did what it was supposed to do. When is the U.S. going to wake up??? We are in trouble. There has been enough talk. The country has to make the hard decisions to stop islam in the U. S. Deportations, stopping immigrants from coming from countries that practice this type of terror in the name of allah. I pray that whomever comes into office after Trump will continue what he started and turn up the heat.

      How about the Muslims that support CAIR, Illhan Omar, Rashida Talib and all the others that were voted in by 90%+ Muslims.
      Not all Muslims kill but they don’t need to. They just need to support it and give it power like the have been. Muslims aren’t as innocent as you think they are. They will lie, cheat, steal and use Islamic psychological terrorism tactics (Islamaphobia) as their tools you gain power and they work together as a massive global movement with the goal of global dominance.

      Any Democrat that gets “in” will do just the opposite. Democrats love Muslim’s, love their totalitarian civilization.

    Showing their supremacist attitudes towards Innocent Americans again.
    When are these people going to be deported. You know all Muslims have a duty to pay a tax to these Terrorist organizations. Looks like Muslims support terrorism after all.

    Bloomberg is not very consistent. When some Muslims wanted to build a mosque next to the ground where they had bombed the World Towers with planes, the citizens objected but Bloomberg went out of his way to facilitate the Muslims. It was the union workers that ended this Muslim ambition by declaring they would not allow any of their members to work on the building project.

    and he thinks he could be president; what a joke and he is an A no. 1 asshole and he is Jewish. He is definitely delusional.
    How can he support the muslims when they would kill him in a NY minute????

    CAIR is a terrorist organization. It’s officer, members, and supporters are terrorists. They should be treated as terrorists.

    • Patrick Kelley says

      Dec 3, 2019 at 8:04 am

      Agree and the organizations and mosques they financially support should be treated as terrorists themselves. We need to dismantle the spearhead of Islam in America, dismantle Islam in America!
