CAIR: At War Against North America?


In June 2006, an article was posted on the Anti-CAIR (ACAIR) web
site concerning the recent dismissal of a defamation lawsuit
against me. The lawsuit was filed by the Council on
American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Washington, D.C. based Islamic
group, with "chapters" in many American cities. CAIR also has an
office in Canada, under the name of "CAIR-Canada" (or "CAIR-CAN")
with branch offices in many Canadian cities.

CAIR sued me, claiming that my statements regarding CAIR's support
for terror, its foreign funding sources, and its desire for
implementation of Sharia law in place of the U.S. Constitution were
false and defamatory. However, while the lawsuit has been dropped,
my statements stand.

Let us be clear: as I said two years ago, CAIR uses foreign money
to fund its activities. A recent endowment by the United Arab
Emirates - a country, according to the Congressional Research
Service, that recognized and supported the Taliban, lacks any
democratic institutions, and is characterized by the human
trafficking of women and girls for domestic servitude and sexual
exploitation, and of boys to serve as camel jockeys - has given
CAIR a cool $50 million (USD) to help CAIR convince North Americans
of the peaceful nature of Islam. However, why does a peaceful
religion need to explain how peaceful it is? Do we see the
Catholic Church advertising how peaceful Catholics are? How about
the Protestants? The Amish? The Jewish?
Why is Islam the only religion in North America that finds it
necessary to ram its message of peace down our throats, and why is
CAIR, whose leader was heard professing his allegiance to a terror
group on FBI wiretaps, the one to be delivering this message?

CAIR might claim that its propaganda campaign is necessary because
9/11 and the "neo-con/Zionist conspiracy" are turning all
non-Muslims in America into overnight "Islamophobes". However,
there is absolutely no proof of this. Even immediately following
the 9/11 attacks, FBI statistics show Jews were still the preferred
targets of bigots and racist nut-jobs in the United States; in
fact, even leaving aside 9/11, it is the Muslims in America that
have perpetrated the most heinous hate crimes over the past decade,
murdering innocent Americans (most specifically because they were
Jews) on the streets of New York and in the Los Angeles airport,
among other places.

As I said two years ago when we examine CAIR's leadership, we see
that Ahmad, Awad, and Hooper (the heads of CAIR) were spawned from
the Islamic Association of Palestine (IAP), an Islamic hate-group
that lionized suicide bombings and was held civilly liable for
funding terrorists who killed an American teen-ager .

From the IAP web site:

[T]he real nature of the conflict is a civilizational conflict
waged between, on the one land (sic) Islamic Civilization with its
divinely inspired laws and mission to create on this earth the
society of justice and freedom which has been ordained by God; and
on the other hand, Western Civilization with its materialistic
culture, worship of ethnicity and the state, and denial of God's
supremacy. The existence of a Jewish state in the heart of the
Muslim World.is symbolic of the weakness of the Muslim Ummah and
Muslims' own straying from the path of Islam in embracing imported
ideologies.the Blessed Lands of Palestine do not belong to the
Palestinians or Arabs alone but to all Muslims, and only when the
Muslim's (sic) return to their faith and see the conflict in its
real terms can they liberate Palestine as was done in the 12th
Century by Salah al-Din Al-Ayyubi who, while not an Arab, knew his
Islamic responsibility in undertaking the civilization struggle
against the West."

More hate speech. CAIR has never condemned these hateful words,
nor has it ever specifically condemned any Islamic terrorist group.

Does CAIR's leadership believe that the U.S. is at war with Islam?
.or is it the truth that CAIR is at war with America?

This is Anti-CAIR's position on CAIR's "war posture" which we filed
in papers with the court:

"CAIR is afraid to openly admit that it is a Moslem fundamentalist
group. It is afraid to openly admit it supports, and has knowingly
served as a conduit to raise funds for, the genocidal anti-Semites
of hamas. It is afraid to openly admit it works on behalf of, and
relies on monies "donated" by, virulently anti-Christian Saudis."

"[A]nti-Christian", "Moslem fundamentalist group", ".raise funds
for the genocidal anti-Semites of hamas". - these are the facts as
set forth in our papers.

So why was CAIR afraid to have these issues brought up in court?
Because CAIR, which self-describes itself as a "Muslim civil rights
group", clearly is not about "civil rights" in the normal, American
sense. Rather, as I said over two years ago CAIR supports
terrorist groups and is dedicated to the overthrow of our
democracy, imposition by force of Islamist values, and rule by
Sharia law.

From Court documents:

"These [discovery] requests seek admission regarding certain
associations with known terrorists and/or statements made by CAIR
leaders regarding the need to hide their support for Hamas while
engaged in political action in the U.S., alleged "attacks" against
Islam in the United States arising from federal action against HLF,
which funded Hamas, and the fact that the appointment of a person
opposed by CAIR to the United States Institute of Peace by the
President constituted an attack on Islam . The evidence will show
that under Moslem law, "attacks against Islam" must be fought with
violence. CAIR's intentional and repeated use of the "attack"
imagery is, therefore a potential call to violence."

CAIR absolutely refused to answer these and other questions in
court, instead, it dropped the case.

With money from an Islamic country that exploits women, girls, and
young boys, and lacks democratic institutions, CAIR - through its
foreign-funded "Islamophobia Campaign" has donned "Golden Gloves"
to take on the American people.

How long before the American people respond in kind?
