The Council on
American-Islamic Relations Created For HAMAS -
An FBI
Investigation Reveals CAIR's Founder Omar Ahmad
"A Leader Of The
Palestinian Committee"
"The
Philadelphia Meeting"
The
Council on American-Islamic Relations, (CAIR), claims to represent
Islam in North America and to protect “Muslim” civil rights despite
absolute proof that CAIR is supporting
Islamic terrorists, and that CAIR was established in America by those
who wish to harm our country using
our constitution as protection. Many Americans, including some in
political
leadership, continue to insist that CAIR is a positive voice for
Muslims in
North America.
Americans are a tolerant people; we understand
what it means to be
persecuted and marginalized by oppressive leaders and our forefathers
gave us a
legacy that has kept us free for over 200 years. We now face a
new enemy, an enemy who uses
religion to justify the most heinous of crimes; an enemy who will use
any means
necessary, including terror-murdering innocent women and children, to
advance
their warped vision of “paradise on Earth”.
CAIR has consistently shown that it is not
only on the wrong side in
the war on terror, but also actively supports Islamic terrorist
movements
and terrorists.
Anti-CAIR has reviewed
evidence from the Holy Land
Foundation trial and has produced the following report.

The Council
on
American-Islamic Relations Created For HAMAS
Federal
Bureau
of Investigation
recorded
evidence
places
CAIR
founders Omar Ahmad and Nihad
Awad at a
Philadelphia meeting of the radical Muslim Brotherhood's "Palestine
Committee".
According to the FBI, "all attendees
of
this meeting are Hamas
members or sympathizers."
An Investigative Project
on
Terrorism report on the HLF trial reveals that
FBI
agent Lara Burns testified CAIR's
Omar
Ahmad was "a leader of the
Palestinian committee".
In FBI
wiretaps
of various telephone
conversations and the "Philadelphia Meeting" surveillance, CAIR
Chairman Emeritus and Founder
Omar Ahmad appears to
lead, organize, and call votes on the many issues that members
discussed. The
extent of Omar
Ahmad's involvement
in this secret committees' activity has shown
to be
vast and at a top level. There is a clear reason Omar Ahmad is listed
as an "unindicted
co-conspirator"
in the Holy
Land
Foundation
trial.
It should be noted that
the FBI
identifies
Omar
Ahmad also as "Omar
Yehya". Omar Ahmad acknowledged
his alias in a 2003 deposition:
"Some people call
me Omar Yahya [sic] because it's like one of my middle names"
In September of 1993,
"Omar Yehya"
(Ahmad) discussed the
participants, agenda,
and
organizing the program format of the "Philadelphia
Meeting". Omar Ahmad mentions that "four or five" IAP members would
attend
and indicates he will get "Nihad" to write a paper for the meeting.
"I
mean the Association [IAP] organization will write a paper
and the Fund will write one and Al
Aqsa will write one"
In September 2008, FBI
agent
Lara
Burns reviewed wiretap transcripts during the new trial of the Holy
Land Foundation,
specifically from the event called the "Philadelphia
Meeting" in which among other things, the participants
discussed the need to create
a
new political organization.
"In
my opinion, we
must form a
new organization for activism which
will be neutral because
we are placed in a corner, ... It is
known who we are, we are marked
and I believe
that there
should be a new neutral organization which works on both sides."
Furthermore,
Omar
Ahmad
discussed forming a lobbying group (p.17)
that would "bolster our
position
in America with the U.S. Administration and other media and political
organizations.":
(Note: Omar
Ahmad and
Nihad Awad formed CAIR the following summer.)
"This
can be achieved by infiltrating the American media outlets,
universities and research centers ...
if
Muslims engage in political
activism in America and started to be concerned with Congress
and public relations we will have an
entry point to use them to pressure Congress
and the decision-makers in America"
Omar Ahmad (
A.K.A.
"Omar Yehya") and
Shukri Abu Baker discussed with
others at
the
Philadelphia Meeting the need to
hide
their affiliation with
Hamas
by using the name "Samah" instead.
Shukri Abu Baker
explains:
"Samah
... Samah is classified a terrorist (organization). By constitution,
by
law,
if I wanted to adopt it's work, they kick me out, they kick me
out of this
country..."
Shukri Baker later makes additional
comments:
"I
cannot say to him that I am Hamas."
"You can go meet a congressman in your
name, in Omar Yehya's name
of the Association...and tell him, '(Yassir
Arafat) doesn't represent us.
Mr. Ahmad Yasin represents us'"
(A committee member objects):
"You
cannot
say that ..."
The
FBI
points out that
"Ahmad Yasin" is none other than Sheikh Ahmed
Yassin; the founder and spiritual leader of Hamas. Yassin was
assassinated in 2004 by Israeli Forces. Here is clear evidence that
the men of the Palestine Committee including CAIR
founders Omar Ahmad and Nihad Awad, considered themselves
"represented" by the head of Hamas - Ahmad Yassin.
"Registering
an
organization is easy. I can register 100 organizations
in 100 cities
in one day..."
Ahmad then mentioned not having
enough people to do the
type
of work they want to "hide". (p.6)
"I mean, we don't really have
available
people whom we could dedicate
for the work we want to hide..."
A NEFA
Foundation analysis of the meeting in Philadelphia reveals that the
group
discussed
a "rumor" circulating that a new organization was being formed,
causing some concern among members. Omar Ahmad tried to quell the
talk of this new organization; however, Shukri Baker expressed a real
need for a new group because current organizations may be viewed as too
"Islamic."
Shukri Baker speaks of not "hoisting
the
Islamic
Flag"
to keep
an organization's true nature from being revealed. Baker speculates
they'd be:
"unable
to
work because all of us have become burned, all of our organizations
are purely
Islamic organizations..." "we should start right now ... begin thinking
about establishing
alternative organizations ...whose Islamic hue is not very conspicuous."
Omar Ahmad then had an interesting exchange
with Shukri Abu Baker:
Baker:
“I swear by Allah
that war is deception,”...“We are fighting our enemy with a kind heart
...
Deceive, camouflage, pretend
that
you’re leaving
while you’re walking that way. Deceive
your
enemy ...”
Ahmad:
"I agree with you. Like they say,
politics
is a completion of war"
It should be noted that in a 2003
deposition,
Omar Ahmad stated that he "can't recall attending this
meeting".
Nihad
Awad, also in a 2003
deposition, said he couldn't remember if he
attended the Philadelphia Meeting either, even though he was an active
and vocal participant at the event.
The FBI
revealed that HLF paid
the
airline tickets and hotel bills for Omar Ahmad's attendance of the
Philadelphia meeting. The Holy
Land Foundation also provided
CAIR
with a "donation" check for $5000 in October of 1994.
In February of 1994, "Omar Yehya"
(Ahmad) discussed
the Hamas
Charity
Al
Aqsa
Fund with other members including the transfer of Holy
Land Foundation
money to Sheikh
Jamil Hamami's
[Islamic
Culture
and Science Society] and that HLF
would represent and oversee it's interests in America. Omar Ahmad
(Yehya)
calls a
vote for the following decision:
"Sheik Jamil's
program is to proceed as is, but under the name of the Holy Land
Foundation Fund.
And that the one which will oversee the program is the Holy Land
Foundation and that the funds
will be collected ...we leave the agreement concerning the funds to be
between him
and the Holy Land Foundation"
Omar Ahmad's involvement in the business of HLF continued throughout
the
1990's. In May of 1999, FBI
wiretaps disclosed "Omar Yehya" (Ahmad) discussing
Holy
Land Foundation records with Shukri Baker including how many
thousands of dollars to pay a member:
"We
reviewed the Holy Land record for the past 3 years and the brothers sat
down
and your due compensation is 20,000 for the past 3 years"
The FBI
began investigating the actions of
future CAIR officials during a time when they were clearly active
working for the interests of Hamas here in America. It can only
be concluded through FBI
evidence that Omar Ahmad's and Nihad Awad's
interests were based in supporting Hamas.
CAIR
officials
and
members try to deflect these glaring facts with ridiculous
statements
on CAIR's "work" as the "largest American Muslim
advocacy organization,"
all
the while denying that events like the Philadelphia Meeting - that
obviously inspired the creation of CAIR to support Hamas - took place
the way that
FBI evidence, and not CAIR
spin, reveals.
Omar Ahmad
expressed how easy it was to "register organizations" here in America,
and proved it by creating many CAIR Chapters across the country
(including Canada) - apparently for the nefarious purpose of
supporting Hamas goals.
The Truth
exposed by FBI investigations
that snared CAIR founder and Chairman Emeritus Omar Ahmad - a leader of
the Muslim Brotherhood's clandestine "Palestine
Committee" - and partner Nihad Awad, flies in the face of CAIR's
denials.
CAIR, in its own words, supports those
working
from within to damage our country.
We have been warned ...
