Controversial Muslim Group (CAIR) gets VIP Airport Security Tour (DSH shows all)
WorldNetDaily ^ | 08/18/06 | n/a

Posted on 08/18/2006 3:09:02 PM PDT by mojito

The Department of Homeland Security took a Muslim group with known past ties to terror organizations on a VIP tour of security operations at the nation's busiest airport at the same time British authorities were working to break up a plot to blow up U.S. airlines.

On June 21, a senior DHS official from Washington personally guided Muslim officials from the Council on American-Islamic Relations on a behind-the-scenes tour of Customs screening operations at O'Hare International Airport in response to CAIR complaints that Muslim travelers were being unfairly delayed as they entered the U.S. from abroad.

CAIR is a spin-off of the Islamic Association for Palestine, identified by two former FBI counterterrorism chiefs as a "front group" for the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. Several CAIR leaders have been convicted on terror-related charges.

During the airport tour, CAIR was taken on a walk through the point-of-entry, Customs stations, secondary screening and interview rooms. In addition, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents were asked to describe for CAIR representatives various features of the high-risk passenger lookout system.

In a meeting, Brian Humphrey, Customs and Border Patrol's executive director of field operations, assured CAIR officials that agents do not single out Muslim passengers for special screening and that they must undergo a mandatory course in Muslim sensitivity training. The course teaches agents that Muslims believe jihad is an "internal struggle against sin" and not holy warfare.

Customs agents involved in the CAIR tour at O'Hare tell WorldNetDaily they were outraged that headquarters would reveal sensitive counterterrorism procedures to an organization that has seen several of its own officials convicted of terror-related charges since 9-11.

"Isn't that nice of CBP," one agent said, to provide a "group like CAIR with a guided, behind-the-scenes tour of our customs facilities, explaining how programs designed to catch Muslim terrorists work."

CAIR says the tour allayed its concerns about profiling and that it "looks forward to continuing the relationship with U.S. Customs and Border Protection offices in the region, and to furthering understanding between the organizations as well as facilitating future communication in order to eliminate problems for Muslim travelers before they even arise."

The Muslim-sensitivity training course at O'Hare is taught by Margaret Nydell, an Arabic professor at Georgetown University, home to a large Saudi-financed center on Islamic studies.

A Customs and Border Protection supervisor described Nydell's instruction, along with CBP's companion training manual and video, as "politically correct drivel."

"It's all about how Islam means peace and tolerance," he told WorldNetDaily. "We're told how to deal with Arabs and Muslims, that they are loving people and not terrorists. That jihad is struggle with sin and has nothing to do with violence."

The Department of Homeland Security invites CAIR itself to conduct sensitivity training for Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and supervisors (CBP's counterparts) in Chicago. The course is taught by local CAIR officials Christina Abraham and Mariyam Hussain. More than 30 ICE staffers have gone through the CAIR awareness program so far.

CAIR – which is bankrolled by the Saudis and the United Arab Emirates, two countries that formally recognized the Taliban – also offers religious and cultural sensitivity training about Islam and Muslims to the military. In June, for example, CAIR trained more than 300 military personnel at the Marine Corps Air Station in Yuma, Ariz.

Also in June, CAIR was invited by the Pentagon to a ceremony dedicating the first Islamic center in Marine Corps history at Quantico headquarters outside of Washington.

Washington-based CAIR also has regular meetings with the FBI and Justice Department. In fact, FBI case agents complain the bureau rarely can make a move in the Muslim community without first consulting with CAIR, which sits on its advisory board. CAIR in the past has cried racism and bigotry when the bureau has moved unilaterally with investigations and raids in the community.

Wait until someone figures out that Muslim-Americans are under represented among commercial airline pilots.

There is something happening here.. and what it is_IS EXACTLY CLEAR_..

**Thwarted major attack on 11 planes to be blown up over US cities.
**North Korea threatening nuclear bomb tests (tests my ass).
**Iran preparing new missile tests and major military maneuvers (Ahmadinenutjob has a serious death wish).
**Suspects sought in near terror disaster after two suitcases containing bombs found on German trains.
**Turkey and Iran lobbing missiles into Kurdish territory.
**A Carter appointed wacky judge declares the NSA program unconstitutional.
**Liberals causing chaos on international flights (peeing in aisle, acting loonie and bringing banned items on board with the help of who knows who).
**WV Plane fiasco/UK plane diverted to Italy/Alaskan plane diverted to Seattle.
**The daily diversions away from IMPORTANT news to that of a pedophile who would rather be in jail in the USA instead of in Thailand.
**Lebanese President saying "We DEFEATED Israel".
**Russia and China sitting back chomping on popcorn.
**The UN and FRANCE (self-explanitory)..

This is ALL within the last week! The list goes on, But you get the idea.. Terrorists and Liberals always seems to be on the same page.. (I wish I had a basement to store canned goods and water in!)

Hey, who needs the New York Times when you have the wet-lipped appeasers at the Department of Homeland Security?

And while we are in "make everybody feel good" mode, let's tell and show them who our air marshalls are and give them the plans for all secret military technologies. I'm sure that would make them trust and especially LIKE us!
