[snip] The fact that CAIR was toying with the emotions of persons wanting to give money to a fund that CAIR disguised as one related to the 9/11 attacks is despicable… The fact that CAIR was asking people to donate to an organization that was raising millions for a terrorist organization that regularly sends suicide squads to murder innocent people is criminal.
Later that month, on September 25, 2001, CAIR changed the link to explicitly ask persons to “Donate through the Holy Land Foundation.” And in addition, CAIR added a new link to its site, soliciting persons to “Donate through the Global Relief Foundation.”
The Global Relief Foundation, like the Holy Land Foundation, was soon to be shut down by the U.S. government on terrorism related charges. As stated by the Treasury Department, “The Global Relief Foundation has connections to, has provided support for, and has provided assistance to Usama Bin Ladin, the al-Qaeda Network, and other known terrorist groups.”[/snip]
The CAIR-Terror Connection: What did CAIR know, and when did it know it? - FR/FrontPageMagazine (4/29/2004)
So the current connect the dots and timeline is as follows:
- GFR received "repurposed" 911 donations from CAIR since September 2001.
- NYT foreign correspondent Philip Shenon warned the GRF that the FBI was about to raid its office in December 2001.
- February 2002, GRF sued several MSM outlets, including the NYT, for libel but failed on appeal after being called a "terrorist organization".
- Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, man charged with conspiring to assasinate GWB has Ashraf Nubani as his lawyer.
- Ashraf Nubani defended GFR in their libel suit against the MSM
Thanks for the ping!
