CAIR seeks removal of label in terrorism case
Washington Times ^ | November 21, 2007 | Bill Gertz

Posted on 11/21/2007 8:05:19 AM PST by 3AngelaD

The Council on American-Islamic Relations is seeking help from House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. to pressure the Justice Department to change the group's status as a co-conspirator in a terrorism case. CAIR officials recently met with Mr. Conyers, Michigan Democrat, and then wrote a letter asking him to lobby the new attorney general on behalf of the group...

CAIR is among several hundred Muslim groups listed as unindicted co-conspirators in a recent federal terrorism trial in Dallas into activities by the Holy Land Foundation Inc., a group linked to funding the Palestinian Hamas terrorist group....Despite its uncertain outcome, the trial has produced a large amount of information and evidence identifying U.S. and foreign groups sympathetic to or direct supporters of international Islamist terrorists.

A 1991 internal memorandum from the radical Muslim Brotherhood identified 29 front groups, including the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), that are part of a covert program by the Brotherhood in the United States to subvert American society.

CAIR officials have requested that Conyers ask the Justice Department to explain why it publicly identified the 306 co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation trial...

The group said the conspirator designation is being used by counterterrorism advocates to block government funds from being used to conduct outreach programs to Muslim groups.... Critics in Congress opposed the Justice Department's involvement in a conference sponsored by ISNA in September because the group was linked to the Holy Land Foundation case....

Steven Emerson...said the secret collaboration between CAIR and Mr. Conyers raises concerns over the lawmaker's support for "a group unambiguously proven to be part of the Muslim Brotherhood-Hamas infrastructure....This combination demonstrates the degree to which radical Islamic groups have insinuated themselves into the highest reaches of the U.S. government...

That they think they can get Conyers to interfere with a federal court case gives me the creeps, too. Another thing CAIR clearly doesn't understand is separation of powers.

CAIR officials have requested that Mr. Conyers ask the Justice Department to explain why it publicly identified the 306 co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation trial.

"unindicted co-conspirators in a recent federal terrorism" ????

And all of these unindicted co-conspirators haven't been deported ??? Why???

Isn't it enough that we have Hillary Rodham Clinton on board as unindicted because Ken Starr was going after the big fish --> Bubba Clinton ?????

They haven’t been deported because we have granted them American citizenship. Which makes them traitors.

“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran . . . should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth.”
-CAIR chairman, Omar M. Ahmad

Loses? How? I hope the Justice Department, the federal courts and the Congress tell CAIR to take a flying leap. Conyers can’t possibly think that taking up their “cause,” such as it is, will do the Democrats any good in the run up to the election.

Well CAIR is a BIG CRYBABY LOSER and I just do not know why Conyers is taking up their case, because the DEMS will also be thought of as being a bunch of losers.

CAIR’s founder has argued the Quran should replace the Constitution as the highest authority in the land. The group’s director of communications, moreover, has expressed his desire to see the U.S. become an Islamic state. CAIR is an offshoot of the Islamic Association for Palestine, a suspected front for the terrorist group Hamas.

Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant, he said. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth, he said.

Islam should not be accepted by any nation. It should be eradicated along with its leaders. And the mindless followers must be deprogrammed. It has to disappear from the earth or the earth will inherit us all.

Islam has been an abomination ever since Muhammad started murdering his opponents. If these wackos kept their abomination to themselves they would be pretty much off my radar screen. But Islam is always trying to spread and conquer people. A spreading abomination is intolerable
