First, smear opposition to jihad violence and Sharia oppression as “anti-Muslim.” Invoke the discredited far-Left smear propaganda organization, the Southern Poverty Law Center as if it were an infallible and impartial authority on what constitutes a “hate group.” Present the SPLC’s smears without any substantiating evidence, as if they were unquestionable fact. Throw in the word “extreme,” so as to abet the growing campaign to portray all dissent from the far-left agenda as terrorism.
Then drag in the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), identifying it only as a “civil rights organization,” without bothering to inform your 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 Presler isn’t even set to speak about anything related to Islam or jihad. Hamas-linked CAIR and far-left organs such as Orlando Weekly, or at least its reliably fascist writer Matthew Moyer, want to hound anyone who stands against them to their deaths. If you oppose jihad terrorism, Hamas-linked CAIR won’t just come after you if you ever speak about this in a public forum. It will come after you no matter what you’re doing, and try to intimidate event organizers, in this case CPAC, to drop you for your transgression of Sharia blasphemy provisions. If it were up to the left and Islamic supremacists, their critics would all be unemployed and unemployable, starving to death on the streets (at best). A few years ago I was invited to address an education conference in California that had nothing whatsoever to do with Islam; the hate-filled fascist “Islamophobia” propagandist-turned-real estate agent Nathan Lean got the weak and ignorant Catholic bishop Jaime Soto, under whose auspices the conference was being held, to cancel my appearance. (I spoke at the conference as scheduled, in a venue outside the bishop’s purview.) And also a few years ago, the Washington Post discovered that the Qur’an-burning pastor Terry Jones was driving for Uber; they duly got him fired. I don’t approve of book-burning, but it is not illegal in the United States, and the idea that a man must be hounded forever and prevented from making a living for views that dissent from the left’s reveals what Leftists really are.
So it has been clear for years that if you dissent from leftist orthodoxy, you must be destroyed. Not just “debunked” or “discredited” in your field, but also prevented from doing everything else, so that the only option you have is to die.
This smear of Presler is also ironic in light of the fact that when it comes to the jihad threat, CPAC, like all establishment conservative organizations, left the building years ago, barring all discussion of the actual nature and magnitude of the threat, and opting instead for comforting religion-of-peace fictions. This hit piece on Presler must have the cowardly Matt Schlapp quivering under his desk.
“CPAC speaker called out for anti-Muslim sentiments, and that’s only scratching the surface of this year’s spectacle,” by Matthew Moyer, Orlando Weekly, February 25, 2021:
Another speaker on the lineup for the conservative mega-gathering CPAC is getting some unwelcome spotlight for anti-Muslim statements and activity, and this is only scratching the surface of the extreme ideologies being trotted out at this week’s event in Orlando.
On Tuesday, civil rights organization the Council on American-Islamic Relations called on CPAC organizers to remove Scott Presler from their conference lineup.
CAIR points out that Presler had been involved with “ACT for America” from 2017-2018 as an organizer. The Southern Poverty Law Center has characterized that organization as “an anti-Muslim hate group because it pushes wild anti-Muslim conspiracy theories, denigrates American Muslims and deliberately conflates mainstream and radical Islam.”
More recently, Presler was in Washington, D.C., for the Stop the Steal rally and even called the Jan. 6 insurrection the “largest civil rights protest in American history.”
Preslar is scheduled to participate in a group session on Saturday afternoon titled, ironically, “Front Porch Politics: How to Talk About Issues Without Starting a Back Alley Brawl.”
“CPAC organizers should immediately drop anti-Muslim activist Scott Presler, who has actively worked to promote conspiracy theories about American Muslims and Islam,” said CAIR Director of Government Affairs Department Robert S. McCaw. “Presler’s reported role in supporting the January 6 insurrection is enough to disqualify him from being offered a credible speaking platform.”…

Again, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?? Tired of talk. We need to organize a group that fights these RADICALS!

There are so many radical groups, that should be declared terrorists, but are being ignored, because they have reps in our government. About 90% believe Marxist BLM, Black Panther Party and CAIR are linked to terrorist activity. We need to push our politicians to declare them as such, and do something about them. We need to be sure, that Biden doesn’t send our National Guard out on a secret mission, as rumored, while the Black Panther Party intends to start circulating in cities, such as N.Y. by May. Something is brewing, so we need to be mindful, that 2020 was just the beginning. Co founder, Patrisse Cullors had outlined their Marxist BLM agenda using these organizations. Patrisse had formerly boast of her contacts to the former Weather Underground terrorists, and we know Obama was acquainted with associates. Kamala has praised & supported the radicals. Several reports share that the Marxist BLM curriculum in N.Y. is telling students, along with businesses such as, Coca Cola, to be less white. It is a form to get whites to submit to their agenda. A coach was just suspended & people fired, who haven’t been willing to subject themselves to the curriculum. We need to get organized and stand against it, the best we can. First, they need to know that waving a flag, other then the American flag is offensive. We need to be prepared

It appears this CAIR organization and the Lefty subversive groups have access to intel from agencies that can track or trace people and their current employment etc. which means that domestic intelligent agencies are compromised in some manner, internal sympathisers or leakers possibly, but how high within does it extend without being announced policy or noticeably transgressing civil rights or operating without sanction. Some of their actions could be subject to an internal review one would think.

Sadly, cair is very strong in Florida and many will likely believe this garbage.
But, the slime of cair should not be allowed to dictate who speaks for others, on behalf of others, or when and where these may speak. Even Orlando…a hotbed for moslims in Florida…Truth should be allowed and the Freedom of Speech should not be restricted to just those who toe the moslum line.
This way that cair has of making demands, lies, and even threatening others is nothing less than extortion.
moslims make trouble and when complaints are made, or someone identifies from where the trouble comes, cair jumps in with dirty feet and demands that those speaking the Truth about islam be silenced…usually with an “or else” added on…and that makes it extortion.
Infidel says
Ron DeSantis should crack down on CAIR – maybe open an investigation into any connections w/ the Pensacola and Orlando shootings. As well as their ties w/ countries like Qatar and Turkey
somehistory says
Yes, he should. He seems like a very intelligent, and honest, man. He’s doing a lot for Florida, and getting cair out would be huge.
PRCS says
Yes, Pressler is a conservative activist. No doubt about that.
In addition to his overt, politically incorrect opposition to the sharia (Islamic law), one of his most galling, “extremist” acts was to organize long overdue street and area clean-ups in predominantly Big D democrat cities (Baltimore, Portland, and others): something both CAIR and the Orlando Weekly chose to ignore.
Note, too, What lefty’s like Moyer would normally trumpet (gleefully, if you will) and that CAIR would be loathe to endorse: he’s gay.

I keep saying I can’t wait for the muslim and BLM sectors of the left come into conflict with the LGBT wing. I don’t know anyone more “homophobic” or “transphobic” than the muslims and the BLM crowd. Should be funny.
gravenimage says
I don’t find Jihad oppression and terror against any group to be funny.
libertyORdeath says
Thats true GI but jeez don’t take it so serious. Finding something that is ironic to be funny doesn’t mean I support oppression or terrorism or find either to be funny. And I definitely think some infighting between the woke crowd over who is the wokest would be hilarious. I usually love your posts, and I don’t think u were being malicious per se, but definitely a little overzealous. Keep fighting the good fight.

OK, libertyORdeath.

So, AOC, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Linda Sarsour and the menagerie of others on the Left will surely be disqualified from speaking from Democrat Platforms, correct. They won’t be allowed on news venues other public forums correct?

The SPLC states that…”For instance, (Brigitte) Gabriel has said that practicing Muslims ‘cannot be loyal citizens of the United States.'”
This is what they characterize as a “conspiracy theory” despite the assertion being based on Islamic texts and fatwas. They really hate it when you use their own words and teachings to point out their commitment to the destruction of democracy and implementation of a worldwide caliphate, don’t they?
somehistory says
That is also what moslums say. Clerics and imams have said one cannot run for office or vote…except that is allowed when they want to gain control and turn the country in which they are residing into one that is all islam, all of the time.
Just as they say that they are to kill Jews and Christians, and they brag about their fake prophet being a murderer, raping a little girl, having slaves, giving medical advice, etc., but when non moslums say these things, they get in a fury and accuse the truthful person of lying and the fake “phobia.”

Orlando Weekly and Hamas-linked CAIR hit CPAC for speaker who opposes jihad violence and Sharia oppression
…………..
This does not surprise. The only insane thing is that anyone in the US would consider this a bad thing.
notnolib says
Now if I remember correctly, CAIR is a terrorist group whose members, officers, and supporters are terrorists. They tend to worship a made-up moon-god (allahahahaha) that was invented (along with the gutter cult of islam) by a pedophile pig-faced dog they call “mohammed”.
Is that correct?
Jocelynn Cordes says
Scott Pressler is an admirable young man whose political platform consists of organizing MAJOR clean-ups.
He is the epitome of a grassroots organizer. He started by standing on street corners holding up controversial signs that asked simple, rational questions. From there he went to being invited to CPAC in just a few years.
Pretty incredible.
