CAIR Condemns Killing of Hamas Terrorist Leader, Why?


 awad

“I am in support of the Hamas movement”

Nihad Awad, CAIR Executive Director

Former “Public Relations Director” for the Islamic Association of Palestine, a militant Islamist terrorist group.

 

      On March 22, 2004, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), issued a press release condemning the killing of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin by Israeli forces.


      Who is this so-called “religious leader?”  He is the founder of Hamas (1987), calling it the “Palestinian Wing of the Muslim Brotherhood”.  The “Muslim Brotherhood” is a militant Islamist group that advocates the strict interpretation of the Koran and the application of Sharia law world wide.  Yassin took part in planning for terrorist actions and provided religious cover to Islamist terrorists, telling them that their heinous acts of terror murder were sanctioned by Allah.


      What did CAIR have to say about the killing of this so-called “religious leader”?

"We condemn this violation of international law as an act of state terrorism by Ariel Sharon's out-of-control government. Israel's extra-judicial killing of an Islamic religious leader can only serve to perpetuate the cycle of violence throughout the region. The international community must now take concrete steps to help protect the Palestinian people against such wanton Israeli violence.”


      An act of “state terrorism”?  When we view bodies of Israeli’s torn apart by militant Islamist bombs, we hear nothing from CAIR about “Palestinian sponsored terrorism”.  Why?


     CAIR continues:

"We call on the United States to join its allies in condemning this political assassination and to make that condemnation meaningful by cutting the flow American-taxpayer dollars to Israel. It is these tax dollars that pay for the weapons Israel uses to carry out such illegal attacks. American repudiation of Israel's brutal policies could also be demonstrated by the cancellation of Ariel Sharon's upcoming visit to Washington.”



      The “Hamas branch” in the United States, CAIR, calls on the United States to cut off funding to Israel?  The only democratic government in the Middle East should not be supported by the United States?  Israel actively searches for, and then kills, militant Islamists and the United States should be opposed to this policy?  Why?  Since when is it a crime to kill a terrorist?


     CAIR adds this:


"Bland administration statements urging 'restraint by all parties' will only be viewed internationally as tacit approval of Israel's actions and will undermine our moral and legal basis for the war on terrorism.”


      So be it.  It is long past time that Washington supported the killing of militant Islamists who have either killed or sanctioned the terror murder of innocents.  Militant Islam has declared war on the world; it is appropriate that the world answered militant Islam’s violence in the language they best understand: more violence, judiciously applied.  The war on terror will never be won by negotiation or appeasement.


     Whose side is CAIR on in the war on terror?


     The answer is painfully obvious:

“I am in support of the Hamas movement”


      Americans can NEVER say that we have not been warned by CAIR.  With this press release, CAIR has once again put America on notice that they support militant Islam and the terror murders of innocents in the name of God…all sanctioned by so-called “religious leaders”.  


      What will it take to make we Americans pay attention to CAIR’s words?  How much longer must we tolerate the presence of the “U.S. Section of Hamas” ?


     CAIR has told us, repeatedly, what they stand for and who they support in the war on terror.  Why haven’t we been listening to them?  What is stopping us from taking them at their word?  Why do we refuse to accept the truth about CAIR when they repeatedly slap us in the face with their words of hate?


      Never forget the words of Nihad Awad, CAIR Executive Director:


“I am in support of the Hamas movement”


 
       Don’t say we haven’t been warned…repeatedly.
