CAIR’s Help For San Bernardino Terror Family Resembles Palestinian Policies Of Jihad Benefits
Breitbart London ^ | 16 Dec 2015 | by Raheem Kassam

Posted on 12/18/2015 4:55:29 PM PST by Texas Fossil

In the immediate aftermath of the San Bernardino terrorist attack, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) sought to support and assist the families of the terrorist Syed Farook – before the FBI had even uttered the word "terrorism".

As my colleague Joel Pollak writes at Breitbart California, the organisation, which claims it is tasked with improving relations between America and its Muslim communities took the pre-emptive step of representing Mr. Farook's family, in what Pollak describes as a terrorist family's "death benefit".

CAIR's assistance and public representation of Syed Farook's family, in my opinion, closely resembles the Palestinian Authority's (PA) behaviour of rewarding imprisoned terrorists, or, in cases where they've died during an attack, their families.

They've used U.S. and UK foreign aid for these "salaries", paid during incarceration, or, in the case of the families, for the foreseeable future.

Pollak notes:

"CAIR issued a press release drawing attention to its role, almost as if legal assistance were a kind of death benefit offered to would-be terrorists, ensuring their children's welfare.

"CAIR's actions do not meet the legal definition of "accessory after the fact." But helping terrorists' families, and broadcasting their political message-common practices of regimes that support terror, like the Palestinian Authority-is an odd way to carry out CAIR's mission of improving "American-Islamic relations." If anything, CAIR's actions are calculated to inflame those relations."

They paid for his burial.

Why is CAIR allowed to hold a press conference and face no questions about their terrorist connections?

I tried to access the source website via a link on Twitter, it got a 404 error.

So I searched via a https: search engine and found it. Worked fine, but previously it was not accessible.

Selective filtering? probably.

Make me wonder if the whole family is involved in terrorist acts or at least enabling them.

I am surprised there is no federal program to provide direct tax-payer support for families of terrorists.

I have no answer, except for the man who sleeps at 1600 Penn Ave.

I’d say the prospect of that is pretty high.

The father was just put on the Watch List.

Don’t give Obozo the idea. He will write it into an Executive Order.

Possibly already has.

CAIR is sponsored by HAMAS and Hezbollah, that is where they get their funding

Ah, but there is such a program. The just-passed omnibus spending bill provides for the paid immigration of thousands of Syrian terrorists, and further tax paid benefits for a continued, sustained jihad in the United States. Thanks Paul Ryan.

Yes, CAIR and Muslim Brotherhood are both Terrorist Organizations.

What I find shocking isn't CAIR's support of the Jihadis (after all, CAIR is a recognized terrorist organization) but that Obama is not attending the funerals of the "young married couple with a small baby" on the way to their luxurious vacation (on our dime) to Hawaii.

That's what I'm surprised about. We know who CAIR is.

On second thought, we know who Obama is too. It's just nobody in power wants to admit it. That is the real gorilla in the room, not ISIS and their mass murdering wickedness.

White House Opens Door to CAIR Rep, Ignores Muslim Reformers

But for the past seven years, the Obama White House has opened its doors to the entire spectrum of radical Islamist groups, just like CAIR. These groups have rationalized the actions of Islamic terrorist groups that have killed Americans, warned American Muslims against cooperating with law enforcement, smeared genuine Muslim moderates like Zuhdi Jasser and Asra Nomani as traitors and accused anyone who dared to utter the term “radical Islam” as “Islamophobic.” These are the groups that the White House should have marginalized. The fact that Obama legitimized radical Islamist groups will be his real legacy.

Yet CAIR has unbelievable power here, because leftists agree with the ideology of both HAMAS and Hezbollah even though other countries have designated them to be terrorist organizations. Ask ANY member of CAIR if they respect Israel’s right to exist and see them squirm in their seat

Yes, we know.

And FR has known from the beginning. The MSM knows, but chooses to side with the enemy.

All 3 branches of Government knew, but sided with the enemy of the US.

The CAIR organization is encouraging jihad.

Clock boy was their official muzzie of the year, after bringing his fake bomb into a school.

We need to start looking at CAIR as a direct military threat to our people, and act accordingly.

Mosques, ISNA, CAIR and all others need to be prosecuted with RICO.

We need to a law to strip all family members of access to citizenship process. They all get booted or hung.

“prosecuted with RICO”

Well, what do you think the possibility of Loretta Lynch charging CAIR under RICO?

It’ll be a cold day in hell when that happens. Or it will be after Obama is impeached.

Knowing their families will be taken care of limits the number of people in various terror cells who get cold feet.

CAIR doesn't have to know who or where such cells are, they just step in and make sure all the interested parties can see that there is a group that will take care of their survivors.

Now let's see who puts out pictures of these two as heros of Iz Lame in Pakistan and throughout the world.
