- CAIR:  Meeting with Ghosts?

     On 24 December 2004, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) issued a press release stating that they had held a meeting on 23 December with “senior officials” of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). 

     Why do we say “reportedly”?  Well, the CAIR release failed to provide the names of the “senior officials”, the location of the meeting, or the names of the CAIR/MPAC attendees.  Now, ACAIR can understand how anyone connected with law enforcement would be reluctant to admit they sat at the same table with a CAIR representative, but CAIR's pattern in the past has been to “name drop” furiously. 

     When was the last time CAIR held a meeting without trumpeting the names of those who attended? 

     Anti-CAIR wonders whose idea it was to hide the “senior officials" names.  Did the “senior officials” make CAIR's silence a condition of the meet?  Was CAIR muzzled so that the "senior officials" might avoid being "outed," and suffering well-deserved ridicule and condemnation from Americans for meeting with CAIR/MPAC when, as ACAIR and other independent analysts have opined, the evidence shows CAIR/MPAC's clear support for Islamist terrorism?  Did CAIR/MPAC make up the whole thing to impress the faithful?  Or is it possible that CAIR/MPAC arranged the meeting and were stood up…again? 

     So how about it, CAIR/MPAC?  Did you, or did you not, meet with “senior officials” from the DHS/ICE?  If so, how about some names?

     Location? 

     Time? 

     What was discussed?

     Did the agenda include the results of your fund raising for known terrorist-fronts like the Holy Land Foundation or the Global Relief Foundation?  Did you turn over the names of the Hamas and Al-Qaeda supporters in the U.S. known to you?   Did you expose the Saudi Arabians who have provided you with funding, and come clean about their connections to terror as well? 
 
     We’ve said this before, and we’ll keep saying it until the message sinks in: “Nothing good comes from associating with CAIR.”  In our opinion, CAIR has nothing to teach law enforcement that can’t be learned simply by reading the HAMAS charter.
