CAIR: At War With 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 during FBI surveillance,
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?
