CAIR comes to the rescue of Minneapolis tax-funded Muslim school
By Michelle Malkin • April 15, 2008
As I have reported over the years, there are many good reasons to be wary when CAIR and other Muslim grievance groups start banging the drum about being victimized by Islamophobia.
Now, the usual suspects seem engaged in the usual tactics to distract from the controversy over the Minneapolis tax-funded Muslim school exposed by Star-Tribune columnist extraordinaire Katherine Kersten. Just as the state has launched an investigation of the school, here comes CAIR:
The Minnesota chapter of a national Islamic civil liberties group has asked the FBI and local law enforcement officers to investigate reported threats against a Twin Cities charter school as possible hate crimes, while a Jewish organization deplored the threats.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) made the request Monday after the director of Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy in Inver Grove Heights told police that he and the school had received threatening and harassing phone messages and e-mails.
The group is concerned about the safety of the school’s students, many of whom are Muslim, said CAIR chapter coordinator Chris Schumacher. Tagging the threats as possible hate crimes also makes it clear that prejudice could have prompted them, and “we wanted to bring that to light in case that wasn’t already obvious to people,” he said.
The Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas also condemned the alleged threats in a statement released Monday.
As of Monday, the charter school had not filed a complaint with the Minneapolis FBI office, but agents will reach out to the school and get more details about the messages, said Special Agent Paul McCabe.
If the alleged threats are real, they deserve to be investigated and prosecuted.
But investigators should bring a sizable grain of salt–and check their dhimmi tendencies at the door.
Its long time past for this group of slimeballs
to meet RICO
Speaking of CAIR, does anyone know what ever happened with the law suit Michael Savage brought against them?
Judge sides with CAIR against Michael Savage

Michael Savage
A Clinton-appointed judge in California is siding with the Council on Islamic-American Relations in a lawsuit by radio talk-show host Michael Savage.
Judge Susan Illston has issued a terse one-page ruling in the case in which she granted a defense motion for judgment on the pleadings with “leave to amend.” Although it was released only today, it was dated Friday, apparently finalized shortly after she held a hearing on the issues at hand.
Savage promised he would immediately take the case to the next level, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which he described as “an even more liberal court – if you can believe it – the most frequently overturned court in the United States of America.”
“What I may try to do is have the case removed from California, because I cannot get a fair trial,” Savage said on tonight’s program. “I may remove it to Alabama, for example, where maybe I could get a fair trial – maybe where there’s still America. It certainly doesn’t exist here in California.”

Oh, you gotta be kidding me. This is a travisty. Thanks for the update. Wonder how I missed it.
This just proves that this is a Muslim school, even though the leaders there deny it.
RICO should be used against CAIR. I hope the IRS audits them.
Just because we make them read the Quran, pray three times a day to Allah and live like Muslims - that doesn’t mean that religion is being promoted.
This is racist!
/sarcasm
Ping for you list.
The enemy within and too d*mn close for comfort...
We are currently living in stage three.
Stage 1:
Start immigrating - move into a country quietly
Stage 2:
Begin starting Mosques: “learning centers” community helps: food etc.
Stage 3:
Political activism: demanding rights, denounce derogatory comments/press etc.
Stage 4:
Get elected, pass laws favoring rights etc. move toward political majority
Stage 5:
Political control, Sharia Law
this chart was given to me by “svcw” who posts on FR
you=your, but of course you knew that. Time for bed. :)
We are at Stage 4 concerning your first two qualifications. In Minneapolis, in the Fifth Congressional District, the enemy is muslim Keith Ellison. Mosques are popping up and community colleges are using taxpayer dollars to fund footbaths and "prayer" rooms. It is the Berkeley of the Midwest. The lib elites here think they are peace-loving hippies all grown up with stock portfolios and advanced degrees that make them better people by being so "diverse." The white guilt crowd reigns supreme.
I no longer live in the district but plan on donating some $ to a wonderful conservative named Barb Davis White.
I encourage all freedom loving people to listen to Barb's message and donate to her campaign to oust Ellison. Cut the cancer at its' source.
Here's Barb's website:

Hoping this is a better link:

Keith Ellison and there is another one too that is Muslim as well would fall under the # 4 that you listed.
Thanks for the list this is important for people to see.
Terrific!! LOL!!
Bump for later
LOL!
But the FBI has attended the Islam is Peace forum!
