Another CAIR Officer Convicted.
Recently, several people connected to Islamist terrorism were convicted. What does this have to do with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)? One of the names should stick out, that of Ghassan Elashi, who’s been mentioned before in Anti-CAIR (ACAIR) material. Apparently, he and his brothers supplied high-tech computer equipment to state sponsors of terrorism.
ACAIR withheld comment for several weeks on this development as we were curious as to the reaction of CAIR to the arrest of Ghassan Elashi and his brothers. Would CAIR condemn one of the founding board members of CAIR-Texas? Praise law-enforcement for a “job well done”? Congratulate the government for taking a strong stand to defend the US from Islamist terrorism?
Well…even we were a bit surprised at the comments made by Khalil Meek, who sits on the board of directors of the Dallas-Fort Worth Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.:
“We believe that these convictions indicate a growing disparity and
climate of injustice for Muslims. … This is not justice. This growing
trend of selective prosecution only furthers much of the community's
view that this is nothing but a witch-hunt against the Muslim
community.”
Meek then added:
“This is not justice...The injustice waged against this family, by
which over 20 children were robbed of their fathers for their crime of
being Muslims in America, is only part of the tragedy we witnessed. The
other victim in this ordeal is justice itself.”
“Disparity and climate of injustice for Muslims?” How? Should the judge have dismissed the charges simply because the criminals are Muslim? Would CAIR have the jury ignore the evidence and refuse to indict on the grounds that these men are of the Muslim faith?
Meek provides, as usual for CAIR, absolutely NO evidence that these men received an unfair trial.
Mr. Meek then wails about the 20 children who have been “robbed of their fathers for their crime of being Muslims in America…”. How about the innumerable Muslims terror murdered by Islamists in the Middle East? How many of those computers are being used to persecute innocent Muslims today in the Middle East?
It seems that Mr. Meek is trying to divert attention from the FACT that more and more Islamist terrorists are being convicted and that the US government is finally beginning to get serious about Islamist terrorism - and those who support terror.
The facts are these: These men carried out activities that supported state sponsors of terror. They were caught. They were tried and convicted.
Meek is upset because the men received the justice they deserved…and another CAIR official is down for the count.
We have news for CAIR: Your militant leaders are going down, hard. The American people are over your little word games and pity-talk on behalf of “oppressed ” Muslims in America.
