CAIR: Second S. African Muslim Scholar Denied Entry to U.S.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) reported today that a second South African Muslim scholar has been denied entry to the United States.

Moulana Fazlur Rahman Azmi was refused entry when he landed in San Francisco on Friday. Azmi was invited to give lectures and to take part in the religious activities marking the end of Ramadan at the Islamic Society of East Bay in Fremont, Calif.

Members of the mosque say they waited more than nine hours to pick up Azmi, a diabetic who had been fasting even during his trip from London to San Francisco. They have not been allowed to talk to or provide food for the 60-year-old scholar and were not told why he had been denied entry. (Azmi had previously entered the United States without any problem in April of this year.)

In September, another South African Muslim scholar was similarly denied entry at a Virginia airport. At that time, CAIR expressed concerns that there is a pattern of targeting Muslim scholars traveling to the United States.

At that time, CAIR sent letters to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of State about the issue of visiting scholars, but has not received a reply from either agency.

"The way visiting Islamic leaders are treated by American authorities can send either a positive or negative message to Muslims worldwide," said CAIR Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper. "So far, the message in this case has been negative."

Immigration officials at San Francisco International Airport told CAIR that Azmi spent Friday night in detention and will shortly be put on a plane leaving the country.

CAIR, America's largest Islamic civil liberties group, has 32 offices and chapters nationwide and in Canada. Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.

[Brilliant]

Did we allow Nazi scholars during WWII?

[backtothestreets]

Can't someone develop a penalty for these undesirables for even attempting entry, like having to take a dozen Muslim non-citizens of the USA back with them?

[goodnesswins]

GOOD!

This same thing happened about a month ago, with CAIR rallying behind another non-American's "right" to enter the United States.

There is nothing a Muslim scholar can tell us. We learned everything we need to know on 9/11.

[WildBill2275]

If CAIR thinks he is a good guy, thats reason enough to keep him out. Or we could charge him with the popular and accurate violation of "Breathing while being Muslim"

In anycase the following about CAIR.

I could be wrong, but with references like these the officers of CAIR might best be described as "Major Scum Bags"

I hope I have not violated any copy rights by posting the excerpts. The articles (mostly) get kind of long.

Know your enemy!

Omar Ahmad, Chairman Emeritus

According to an article http:

"The IAP was founded by Mousa Mohammed Abu Marzook, a “senior political leader” of Hamas, and the organization is credited with publishing the actual Hamas charter."

"At the behest of then-IAP President Omar Ahmad, Awad met with him (Ahmad) and Rafeeq Jaber (Ahmad’s successor and current IAP President) to discuss the IAP branching out in another direction. That direction was CAIR."

"Just three months after the infamous “I support Hamas” statement, in June of 1994, the ‘IAP three’ incorporated the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), in Awad’s words, “to bridge the chasm of ignorance between Muslims in America and their neighbors.” Nihad Awad became the group’s Executive Director, Omar Ahmad took on the title of Chairman of the Board, and Awad solicited his friend and colleague from the Bosnian Relief Committee, Ibrahim Hooper, as CAIR’s Communications Director."

Ahmed, Parvez, Chairman, CAIR

"The conviction of a Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) state operative is but the latest apparent link between that Islamist organization and Islamist terrorism. On April 13, 2005, Ghassan Elashi, founder of the group's Texas chapter (CAIR-Texas) – as well as longtime associate of CAIR's top leadership and beneficiary of CAIR fundraising and support – was convicted of laundering money for Islamic terrorist organizations from November 1995 through April 2001."

Dr. Ahmad Al-Akhras, Vice-Chairman, Cair

"An attendee of the “Stop the Terror Rally” sponsored by the Council for America-Islamic Relations – Ohio held at the Federal Courthouse in downtown Columbus, Ohio, on Friday July 28 says she was twice assaulted by CAIR’s National Vice-Chairman, Dr. Ahmad Al-Akhras, when she asked too many questions......."

[hardworking]

Well I'll be damned! You mean someone at the State Department actually developed a pair of b**s? Must have been a mistake! Surely they mistook the poor innocent fellow for a middle-aged Swedish violinist intent on infiltrating the NY Philharmonic - a really dangerous possiblity!
