CAIR officials have refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. 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. A CAIR operative has called for the overthrow of the U.S. government.
“LA City Council Set to Pay Terror-Linked Group to Fight Deportations,” by Benjamin Baird, Focus On Western Islamism, May 8, 2023:
On April 17, the Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously to pay a dangerous Islamist organization to provide legal representation to immigrants facing deportation.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has a history of defending high-risk Muslim immigrants involved in terrorism-related offenses. With the mayor’s approval, CAIR’s LA chapter will soon receive portions of a $4 million grant to represent “detained and non-detained” migrants in removal proceedings.
CAIR-LA’s contractual services are part of a public-private partnership called RepresentLA, a citywide program that promises to provide due process for immigrants. CAIR is one of a handful of nonprofits tasked with supporting “affirmative immigration relief” with taxpayer and private foundation monies.
Los Angeles is a “City of Sanctuary,” and since state laws and city policies prohibit local police from questioning or detaining a person based on citizenship status, many of the “detained” deportees that CAIR is now tasked with defending may be incarcerated for more serious offenses. The city’s contract with CAIR comes as “interior deportations” under the Biden administration have reached record low numbers, according to Todd Bensman, National Security Fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies.
“If they’re facing deportation proceedings,” Bensman told Focus on Western Islamism, referring to detained immigrants, “there’s probably some highly derogatory national intelligence information on them, because the Biden administration does not deport.”
With help from CAIR, activist judges may find cause to block deportations and release more illegal immigrants into American cities. Still more alarming, CAIR’s history of activism and legal maneuvering on behalf of immigrants suggests that deportees suspected of serious terrorism-related offenses may soon benefit from a taxpayer-funded legal defense….
CAIR-LA, set to receive its portion of a $4 million grant to defend deportees, has its own history of advocating for criminal immigrants. In 2004, the LA branch held a townhall meeting to discuss the government’s alleged “targeting” of Muslim religious leaders, including Wagdy Ghoneim and Abdul Jabbar Hamdan….

California needs a good dose of Islam. They will love it as much as the Iranian people. Islam, the state of depression that keeps on giving.

I think the most terrifying part of all this is the network of anti-American activists that are now being bankrolled by taxpayer funds and misleading “charity” donations.
This human trafficking operation is funded by ordinary Americans who will soon be the victims of their own government’s suicidal policies. They have created a huge ecosystem of fake charities, NGOs, and a ludicrously oversized federal government that relies on moral blackmail to intentionally destroy the country that my ancestors built.
Millions of Americans who should be working at massively profitable American companies are instead employed by activist groups that do not pay taxes while actively working to subvert American law. These groups fund and defend Islamic terrorism, cartel drug and human trafficking operations and the trafficking of sex workers, many of them children.
I thought providing aid and comfort to foreign enemies (like the CCP) terrorists (like the PLA, Hamas, and Hezbollah), and criminal organizations (like the mexican cartels) was a crime. Yet instead of stopping or prosecuting these traitors, they are given federal funding and tax free status to allow more American money to be used to violate US law.
This is what anarcho-tyranny looks like. Protesters on J6 are locked up for years despite committing at most low-level misdemeanors while illegal immigrant criminals are given free cell phones, housing, and welfare. Ordinary citizens are charged with murder for defending themselves from the criminal onslaught in their cities while Antifa and BLM terrorists are LITERALLY paid millions of dollars for burning and looting American cities for weeks or months. Pro-life moms are put on terrorist watch lists while the defenders of child murder are never charged and instead given government protection.
Our founders left us with a perfect playbook for this tyranny, but we have so far refused to act. It is our DUTY to dissolve a tyrannical federal government and reform our nation under the Constitutional framework that was always meant to be the law of the land.
Time is running out. The Constitution and the Republic it represents is in serious danger. It’s up to us to make it right.

I am telling everyone who will listen – these guys are advancing.
Former CAIR community advocacy manager, Zaynab Mohamed has proposed legislation to increase reporting of hate crimes.
This is the state funded Sharia police that CAIR aspires to.
“The Minnesota Legislature is considering a bill that seeks to improve the reporting and tracking of bias incidents. The proposal would allow trusted community groups to collect information from people who may not feel comfortable talking to the police and otherwise let something go unreported.
The measure, part of the House public safety budget proposal, includes funding for the Peace Officer Standards and Training Board to train law enforcement to better identify bias-motivated crimes. The law would require the board to consult community groups most affected by such crimes. The bill would also increase the severity of the crime if property damage was rooted in bias.” – https://www.startribune.com/legislature-track-underreported-hate-crimes-bias-incidents-minnesota-minneapolis/600266275/
