Jihad Watch

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

120 Members of Congress Send Letters of Support to Hamas-Linked Group

Jan 20, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

My latest in PJ Media:

You’d think that a group with multiple ties to the jihad terror group Hamas would be shunned by elected American representatives, and even more by law enforcement officials, except insofar as it was under investigation. You’d think wrong. The Washington Free Beacon reported Thursday that despite the “more than 120 members of Congress privately issued letters of support to a controversial Islamic-American advocacy group known for its involvement in one of America’s most prominent terrorism financing cases.” And on Friday, the Daily Wire added that “in October, the Trump administration handed out $100,000 of taxpayer dollars to the terror-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).”

You’d almost think that CAIR was a patriotic organization fighting against jihad terror. But of course virtually all members of Congress and federal bureaucrats in DHS wouldn’t be caught dead having anything to do with such a group. CAIR, on the other hand, “touted its support among congressional leaders during its 2019 gala conference in November in Washington, D.C.,” where the headliners included the notable flag-wavers Linda Sarsour and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.). Its agenda included “well over 100 letters from Democratic and Republican members of Congress, all of whom expressed their support for the controversial organization. Democrats issued the majority of the letters, with only two coming from Republican members of Congress.”

Those sending their good wishes to this sinister and unsavory organization included three presidential hopefuls, Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-Cherokee Nation) and Amy Klobuchar (D-Flying Binders), as well as Tom Steyer (D-Rich Guy with No Chance), along with stalwart Democratic pillars including Adam Schiff (D-Impeachment Railroad) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Hizballah).

There is much more. Read the rest here.

    Democrats. Their leaders prefer their constituents to become islamified. And we all know democrats. Their constituents wont have a choice in the matter. Dark clouds on the horizon for dem supporters but will they notice? Probably not.

      Gee, and I, South African, thought that Britain, Sweden and France (among others) had gone utterly stupid in regard to Islam and Muslims. The ignorance and stupidity is astounding. How America is going to survive its downward cycle is beyond my understanding.

    Welcoming the TROJAN horse.
    Is CAIR willing to support “RELIGIOUS FREEDOM” in all countries of origin of Their members.
    Did any member of Congress who wrote a
    Letter address the discriminatory practice
    of dhimmitude laws inherent within Islamic Sharia against CHRISTIANS AND JEWS .
    I conclude that nearly one third of US Congress
    Is ignorant about Islam. After 9/11, Ignorance
    Turned into plain stupidity.
    It is scary to be governed by stupid people.

    No surprise they are all ignorant assed democrats. the dems are delusional beyond belief. They do not know nor do they care that the muslims are out to kill us and put sharia in; their jobs are in danger, but nothing will wake them up except a 2 x 4 which I’d gladly provide. read the muslim brotherhood strategic plan for the usa for openers then if you want to be scared poopless read their books, hadith, etc; terrorism in every facet of your life.

      Well said. Do these imbeciles never investigate Islam, study its history, read Jihad Watch? They and their ignorance are a danger to the United States. They are too ignorant and stupid to know exactly what you’ve said about Islam’s goals. These ignorant lunatics are more frightening than the Muslims who if we had people who believed in their democratic system and rights would be committed fighting and defeating Islam.

      Not all ARE ignorant assed Dems. Didn’t you read it? And not all Democrats are ignorant asses. Many of us see through these terrorists, and we think those letters are nothing less than treachery against the States and agains Israel. WTF do these politicians DO all day?

    • Rebecca Logue says

      Jan 24, 2020 at 11:17 pm

      This is my third try at replying to Richard. Maybe I AM an ignorant assed Democrat since I don’t know why my replies aren’t visible.
      But I don’t really believe that. Richard, it’s a small point but there were a couple of ignorant assed Republicans in there too.
      Most Democrats are not ignorant assed. Most don’t freakin’ get why their elected politicians don’t know as much as they do! They don’t want a bunch of murderous Muslims being supported by the people they voted for.
      I see these letters as treachery as clearly as you do. I see them as dangerous to our own country and the the country they want to obliterate, Israel.

      And just so you know, I like guns and hate 3rd trimester abortions too.

    120?

    Four or five, even ten or so, fools in the most powerful legislative body on Earth (and composed of 535 members—435 for the House, 100 for the Senate) is no big deal—to be expected and all that.

    But 120 fools in the American Congress (or even in many instances worse than “mere” fools—Omar and Tlaib come to mind) should be worrisome to all who comprehend that:

    1) America is the greatest power on Earth;

    2) As a follow-up to 1), as America goes, so goes the world as many sapient people have noted, for instance Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill (and when, as an aside, has the Islamic world ever produced someone as great as Lincoln or Churchill?);

    3) Islam is a mortal enemy of liberty;

    4) America was founded on the principle of liberty above all other principles and this remains to this day the single greatest reason (there are many others but all secondary) why America is the greatest polity in man’s history;

    5) CAIR is an “arm” of the one major religion which is both in its theory and practice a mortal enemy of not only liberty but also equality under the law—and if justice is not blind then liberty itself is in peril;

    6) It was probable, not a given but nonetheless quite likely, that mankind was destined to “get” a major religion which is rotten to the core, and this is exactly what occurred with the appearance of Islam in the 7th century AD—and which major religion is still plaguing mankind with its rot to this very day, as exampled by the existence of CAIR, parasite of freedom as all of Islam is.

    Finally, back to the 120 rubes in the American Congress doing a very stupid and/or malevolent thing, i.e., endorsing CAIR. Ah yes indeed, see how fragile freedom is? Enemies and the clueless undermining freedom with great regularity is a regular feature of mankind, so pathetic is a great number of our species. Most certainly is this the case with Muslims and the extra clueless kuffaars shilling for the warped creed of Mo’s deluded and hoodwinked followers.

    You can find, right now, many such clueless kuffaars in the American Congress (not to mention the enemy itself within a la Omar and Tlaib). Absolutely.

      I often wonder why so few actually take the time to study Islam when it has led to the death of many young Americans. It leaves a giant opening for propaganda from the SPLC-CAIR cabal.

      And here’s a shout-out to the fine African-Americans who set goals and made their way to success through hard work and personal standards. I worked with many in my professional career and was impressed with their abilities and demeanor. Appreciative thoughts on MLK day.

    Jan 20, 2020 at 7:02 pm

    All of the 120 members of Congress who support CAIR should be “called out”.

    They are either:

    Misinformed and believe that CAIR is a muslim civil rights organization. They should all be sent a link to this Jihad Watch feature article, for starters.

    Know the truth about CAIR – and are aiding and abetting jihad terrorism. Criminal charges need to be brought against them.

    Semi-related…

    TO: Ibrahim “Honest Ibe” Hooper, National Communications Director, Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)

    I have been searching the CAIR website cair.com , so far in vain, looking for how to join your organization and what your annual membership fee is. I think I have finally figured out why you are so reluctant to disclose this information.

    Take a look at the fine print at the bottom of you page describing CAIR internships, https://www.cair.com/intern : “In complying with the letter and spirit of applicable laws and pursuing its own goal of diversity, CAIR is committed to a policy of Equal Employment Opportunity and prohibits discrimination in all its programs and activities on any legally recognized basis including, but not limited to race, age color, religion, sex, marital status, national origin, citizenship, ancestry, physical or mental disability, veteran status, or any other legally protected basis.”

    So even apart from compliance with government anti-discrimination laws, CAIR on its own pursues the goal of diversity and welcomes all comers regardless of gender or religion. But CAIR, being an Islamic organization, must also be sharia-compliant. According to Quran 2:282, a woman is worth half a man, and according to Quran 3:110 and 98:6, a kafir is worth far less than a Muslim. Moreover, there is a scale of worth classified by sex and religion, as set forth in

    https://umdatalsalik.wordpress.com/worth-of-a-muslims-life/

    “From page 590 Umdat al Salik (o4.9) : The indemnity [compensation for damages] for the death or injury of a woman is one-half the indemnity paid for a man. The indemnity for a Jew or a Christian is one-third the indemnity paid for a Muslim. The indemnity for a Zoroastrian [the Persian pre-Islamic religion, to which some Iranians still adhere] is one-fifteenth of that of a Muslim.

    Sharia: A Muslim’s life is worth twice that of a Jew or Christian, and fifteen times more than that of a Hindu or Buddhist”

    (This is inconsistent. Is a Jew or Christian worth 1/2 a Muslim, or only 1/3 a Muslim? Let’s go with 1/3.) Thus, a Jewess is worth only (1/2)*(1/3) = 1/6 — and a Buddhist woman is worth only (1/2)*(15) = 1/30 — the worth of a Muslim man.

    To be legal under secular law, CAIR must admit people of all sexes and religions, but to be sharia-compliant, CAIR must charge different fees as described in Islamic scripture. So if the annual membership fee for a Muslim man is $100, a Jewess is charged only $16.67, and a Buddhist woman is charged only $3.33. And it’s even more complicated than that. What about trans men and trans women? And what about religions that the compilers of Islamic scripture never anticipated, like Scientology? — not to mention agnosticism and atheism. Does sharia compliance requires that CAIR offer free memberships to atheists? A further complication is kafir taqiyya; for example, a devout Xenu-worshipping Scientologist might claim to be an atheist just so he (or she) can join CAIR for free.

    — Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY)

    P.S. So what is the breakdown of your membership classified by religion? With the extreme 93.3% discount you offer to Zoroastrians, it would not surprise me that CAIR’s membership includes more Zoroastrians even than the the Zoroastrian Society of America (ZSA; patron saint: Zsazsa Gabor).

    “Give scholarships, in 5 years you will have an army of lawyers, POLITICIANS, JOURNALISTS, teachers who go to schools, universities, who can educate people about the history of Islam, the true Islam.”

    Muslim Brotherhood hoods:
    “Politics is a weapon.”
    “Establishment of the Islamic form of government.”
    “Pease is the absence of opposition.”
    “I will die to establish Islam.”
    “War is DECEPTION.”
    “Oh Allah destroy America!”
    “Ultimately we can never be full citizens of this country because there is no way we can be fully committed to the institutions and ideologies of this country.”

    Umm… please… westerners should stop calling the U.S. Democratic Party “Democratic” but rather Fascist for that is what the U.S. Democratic Party has become over the past century or thereabouts. Fascist Party is alive and well in the United States… under a “new name”… the Democratic Party or the “Liberal Party” within Canada. Yes, that is the truth. Nazi Germany had the Sturmabteilung and the U.S./Canada Fascist Parties have antifa/BLM/SJW and then use their local police forces to enforce their Fascist Party laws/regulations. Nazi party is Authoritarian so are the Democratic/Liberal Parties
