Jaylani Hussein, executive director of the Minnesota chapter of the the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), is in the news again.
This time he is giving us his opinion on the inclusion of Muslim holidays in the school calendar in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Although this KARE broadcast about the opinion of the Council on American-Islamic Relations on some issue does not seem like much by itself, it is worthwhile to examine it in the context of CAIR’s previous broadcast appearances.
Jaylani Hussein is the same man who wanted to fire someone for a misspelling on a Starbucks cup. A Muslima named Aisha received a Starbucks cup with “Isis” written on it. This story gained traction as far away as Saudi Arabia.
All the Minneapolis local newscasters ran with this story, but KARE really did it up, with background music and an attempt to connect the Starbucks story with three other unrelated stories in the news.
The latest report is innocuous. But there is no doubt and ample evidence of TV stations promoting and protecting CAIR, and facilitating its attacks on people.
There are many examples from around the country of CAIR abusing its media access. But staying in Minneapolis and just looking at KARE, we find this news segment about the vandalism of the Darul Uloom mosque.
Showing the damage to the mosque itself was easy, but talking to the imam is unpleasant. He is not photogenic, and his broken English requires subtitles to understand him.
Talking to the CAIR rep is much more comfortable. In fact, maybe too easy. The reporter and Mohamed Ibrahim, CAIR-MN’s deputy executive director, begin chatting about things that have nothing to do with the mosque vandalism. By the end of the interview, Ibrahim urges “folks” to vote. As if voting has anything to do with the vandalism.
Meanwhile, KARE loves Jaylani Hussein, and will seek out his opinion on seemingly anything, such as the police shooting of Tekle Sundberg. Police were called when Sundberg went off his meds and began shooting up his apartment complex. When he would not drop his weapon or cooperate with the police, he was shot and killed. Jaylani Hussein had nothing to do with this: he never met Sundberg, and could not tell you anything about him. Despite this, KARE chased him down for comment, apparently catching him on his way to his car, or something. So of course he cannot say anything of value, and even gives out misinformation about police shootings in general.
Yet stations such as KARE keep selling us more Jaylani Hussein, and CAIR as legitimate, authoritative, and newsworthy. However, you can say with absolute assurance that CAIR is irrelevant to 99% of the TV newscasts that feature them.
Here is only some of the evidence. There are CAIR broadcasts about: fingers, PizzaHut, Hmong people, Confederate flags, Civil War monuments, Black Lives Matter, the 1619 Project, the Atlanta spa shootings, the Capitol riots, Derek Chauvin, white people, Jewish misfortunes, Facebook comments, the KKK, Nazis, George Floyd, nooses, misspelled Starbucks cups, Christopher Columbus, ICE raids, graffiti, swastikas, a girl’s HS softball game, the word “squaw,” a racist bank charge, William Harllee, High School basketball games, racist flyers, etc.
But there are no broadcasts about CAIR representatives assisting in counterterror efforts. Likewise, there are no broadcasts of CAIR confronting anti-Semitic imams. Instead, CAIR reps tattle on Catholic priests.
Indeed, Jaylani Hussein has no connection to the new school holidays. He has nothing to do with this issue. However, this broadcast might leave you with the impression that Jaylani is a respected leader in the community. It just isn’t true.
There should be a moratorium on gratuitous TV appearances of Jaylani Hussein until there is some explanation about what is going on between local newscasters and CAIR.
Jaylani Hussein used the George Floyd affair to bring attention to himself and direct the anger of a mob against one person.
One would think that TV stations would not let Jaylani Hussein near a TV camera after all this, but no, they let him appear again and again.
In January, after the summer race riots, in one of the clearest examples of a justified police shooting you will ever see on video, Dolal Idd pointed and fired his gun at police as they attempted to arrest him for gun running.
Enter Jaylani Hussein, who equated Idd with George Floyd. He did not try to calm things down, but instead, sang his version of the popular rage into his mobile PA system. His act got on a national newscast .
You can hear him say “You will not kill our people,” and summon the George Floyd protestors, whom he will be happy to lead when they return. He has already said since then that he wants to be part of a revolution.
Why does he continue to receive legitimacy on KARE?
There are many severe crises facing us today. From the Chinese, to the border, to the economy and the education system in America, the list seems endless. But here is a clear-cut realistic, and achievable goal. Tell the local broadcasters around the country to stop feeding us to CAIR. To stop being so friendly with them. Please stop trying to convince us that CAIR is our friend. Do your job and report news about CAIR, even if it is unflattering to the organization.
If we as a group can not win this point against the thoroughly discredited Council on American-Islamic Relations, then it will succeed in its ambition to be in charge of the hate crime racket in this country. It is an urgent priority to tame CAIR on TV.
“Saint Paul Public Schools adds Jewish, Islamic holidays to school calendar,” by Alexandra Simon and Samie Solina, KARE 11, December 14, 2022:
ST PAUL, Minn. — Abdullahi Soyan has the important job of translating after-school cancelations to Somali Saint Paul families.
He grew up in the district, his kids go to these schools, too. Now, for the first time in his family’s history, they won’t have to choose whether to send their kids to school or celebrate the Eid Holidays.
Saint Paul Public Schools is updating district calendars for the next two school years to include observances for several Jewish and Islamic holidays.
“It’s time to celebrate, share gifts, eat food and share with the community,” said Soyan. “That was actually joyous to hear that the board has added that to the calendar.”
The SPPS Board of Education approved calendars for the upcoming 2023-24 and 2024-25 school years, which will see schools closed for students on Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Eid al-Fitr….
Next year, Eid al-Fitr, the holiday that marks the end of Muslims’ month-long fast of Ramadan, falls during the district’s spring break on April 10, 2024.
“All students deserve to have their religious beliefs and holidays respected by educators,” CAIR-MN Executive Director Jaylani Hussein said in a statement Wednesday. “We thank the St. Paul school district for recognizing the religious holidays of their students.”…
On Monday, March 31, there will be no school in observance of Eid al-Fitr….
“I think for the entire Muslim population, anytime we see inclusion, we welcome that and celebrate,” said Hussein.
The days are some of the most important for Muslims, and the two Jewish holidays are the most observed for them….
“Mount Zion was founded in 1856,” said Rabbi Adam Stock Spilker, the lead rabbi. “So that means for 166 years, Jewish families have had to choose between their Jewish observance and sending their kids to school.”
“In the news, we are seeing rising antisemitism, Islamophobia,” he said. “And this is also true. It’s a message about the health of our community that in a multicultural multifaith space, people are honoring each other. And that gives me light and joy.”…

What CAIR is attempting in Minnesota by having an inclusion of Muslim holidays in the school calendar is engaging in one part of many aspects of the stealth jihad for the advancement of Islam and its Sharia.
That stealth jihadists agenda is to step by step , inch by inch , by the processes of Islamic gradualism tp make the Islamization of America possible by on State in the USA at time, By one school at a time, by one community event in every county and district at a time in this nation.
In all fairness the members of CAIR do have a attitude that is full of zeal, Islamic zeal , that motivates them into action ,but the problem with this is that it’s the wrong type of zeal that results in an insidious action for the wrong cause. The cause of a dangerous oppressive false religion.
