Kamala’s Ties to a Far-Left, Hamas-Linked Islamic Group
Frontpagemagazine ^ | July 31, 2024 | Robert Spencer

Surprise!

The media isn’t going to tell you this. The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) describes itself as “America’s largest Muslim civil liberties organization.” In that guise, and as it has championed numerous far-left causes, it has become a respected member of the leftist establishment, with numerous ignorant and self-serving politicians lavishing praise on this unsavory gang in hopes of gaining Muslim votes. Among them has been, not surprisingly, Kamala Harris.

This has been known for years, but no one has cared. Back in Oct. 2020, the Washington Free Beacon reported that “as California’s attorney general and then as U.S. senator, Harris forged a relationship with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), one of the nation’s top anti-Israel groups and advocates for boycotts of the Jewish state.” After the Hamas massacres of Oct. 7, 2023, this matters more than ever.

CAIR, the Free Beacon added, “advised Harris on community issues during her time in California politics, and she later offered the group her ‘gratitude and admiration’ in a 2018 personal letter to the group.” Specifically, “Hussam Ayloush, executive director of CAIR’s Los Angeles office, praised Harris in 2015 for including the group in an interfaith meeting with law enforcement officials. Harris, he said, ‘exemplified leadership’ by vowing to tackle Islamophobia at a time when the state’s Jewish institutions were facing threats.”

That was bad enough, since “Islamophobia” is a propaganda weapon designed to intimidate people that it is wrong — somehow “bigoted” — to oppose jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women. Even worse, long before he praised Kamala Harris, Hussam Ayloush has repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. In 2017, with Donald Trump in the White House, Ayloush called for the overthrow of the U.S. government. Yet the following year, Harris wrote to CAIR: “Please accept my gratitude and admiration for your tireless work to promote peace, justice, and mutual understanding.”

Even that was not all. “As California’s top cop,” the Free Beacon noted, “Harris partnered with local CAIR officials and relied on them to advise her about community matters. In 2015, for instance, Harris hosted CAIR for an interfaith community event following a deadly terrorist attack in San Bernardino. In 2016, as Harris ran for the Senate, CAIR’s political action committee donated $1,750 to boost her campaign.” That may not be much in the larger scheme of things, but imagine the outcry if Donald Trump had taken a small fraction of that amount from a group linked to the Ku Klux Klan.

Harris’ ties to CAIR take on a new urgency now that she is a presidential candidate, and now that this self-proclaimed “civil rights organization” is more forthright than it used to be about where it really stands: CAIR’s cofounder and longtime executive director Nihad Awad infamously said that he was “happy” about Hamas’ Oct. 7 jihad massacre of 1,200 Israelis. In April 2024, Awad eulogized a Muslim Brotherhood cleric, Sheikh Abdul-Majid al-Zindani, who had ties to al-Qaeda as well as Hamas: “The Islamic nation has lost one of its biggest emblems and men with the passing of Sheikh Alam and worker Abdul Majeed Al-Zindani after he dedicated his life to the service of the Quran and the manifestation of its miracles that never cease. He remained tall and firm in the face of challenges, tribulations, pressure, and rankings until he met the Almighty Allah. Our condolences to his family, Yemen, and our nation. We ask Allah, the Merciful, the Merciful and the Forgiving, to have mercy on him, forgive him and reward him with the best of rewards.” Al-Zindani was on the UN Security Council’s list of specially designated terrorists.

If Trump had similar ties to any of the groups that the leftist establishment claims are made up of “right-wing extremists,” including a group that opposes CAIR and jihad terror and got added to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “hate group” list for doing so, the media outcry would be shrill and intense. Trump would be hounded everywhere until he disavowed the group and returned its donation.

No one, however, is asking Harris about CAIR. That’s because Harris, CAIR, and the media are all part of the same leftist establishment. Surely you don’t expect them to police themselves, do you? Politicians can associate freely with groups that are on the left’s approved list, and be secure in the knowledge that there will be no accountability. Responsibility to the American people? Come on, man! This ain’t 1776 anymore!

she’s poison for America

And while I think the Puppetmeisters controlling the DNC will select a couple of salable candidates for POTUS and Veep,
it is indeed possible that they’ll just put Ineligible Harris on the ticket and rely on their ETM (Election Theft Machine) to install her in office. Why not, since it worked so well the last time?

This is why I keep praying that the GOP will dismantle the DNC’s ETM, at least in the critical “swing states” where it is installed (PA, OH, MI, IL, WI, GA, and a few more).

Until we can get honest elections, the DNC’s ETM will see to it that our country continues down the Democrappic road to Perdition.

Like it or not.

She’s quiet on whether her ancestry is black African or not but she thinks they’ll vote for her. Funny, the BLM and many blacks don’t want her saying she isn’t black but Jamaican (nationality vs. race). IMO, her father’s darker skin is Middle Eastern ancestry and this article might be the link. However, his grandmothers look to be African but no clue to his grandfathers’ race.

Jamaica is a country, not a race. Yes, in pictures her father certainly has darker skin but with some white and something mixed in. He states his grandfather was Irish (again country not race) so that might be where his Caucasian facial features come from. Look at pictures of him. There are few stand out African features. He keeps his hair short but it combs down like Caucasian and Middle Eastern and doesn’t appear to have kinky on the ends so doubt he could grow an Afro. He is a professor at Stanford, is well educated and has an air of old money.

Donald, her father, says his great-great grandfather was Hamilton Brown. Brown was born in 1776 in Ireland (yes, country vs. race again) and odds from back then lean more toward Caucasian, so there’s the Caucasian features. Remember, during Queen Victoria’s reign, 1837-1901, the Middle East was all that and a bag of chips so could be one of Brown’s children or grandchildren fashionably wed a Middle Easterner. I can’t be bothered to research it. The last link below has the story of her father.

Hamilton Brown was filthy rich and saw Jamacia, the hub of the slave trade in the Caribbean, was where the money was. He was well educated, a politician, a sugar plantation with 1200 slaves working it and he had a town named for him. Sure, he could have had a fling with a slave woman but it’s the facial features and the social standing. Check the first link below for all the gossip and zingers Kamala wouldn’t want known.

Kamala’s mother is Indian. Bottom line, Kamala is Heinz 57 like many people. Nothing special.

Isn’t this race stuff fun. For some reason the call them afro-Jamaicans. I wonder if that means she can’t be african-American, of if she can do a dual racial thing. Don’t know about Middle Eastern, I think her non african paternal grandfather’s line is Irish. India is a big place. Mom is from Chennai (Madras) so she’s probably Tamil. So Kamala is a Tamil-Indian, Irish afro-Jamaican lady. Just plain afro-American or Asian, depending on where she’s campaigning. If you’re right about a Middle Eastern connection, that would help in Dearborn

Nope, I’m likely wrong with the ME but still can’t shake it.

That’s Donald’s great-grandfather in the photo and the father of Grandma Chrishy. His first wife, Mary Melvina Brown must be where the “black” comes in. As if anyone cares what color someone’s skin might be, sigh. But every family has that one dingbat.

Chrishy married Joseph Alexander Harris. They had Oscar Joseph Brown Harris who is Donald’s father. Oscar takes after Chrishy rather than the Browns. Coincidently, Harris is also an Irish surname.
