CAIR to Air Force: You Must Dismiss “Anti-Muslim” Counterterrorism Instructor

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) purports to be a group that seeks to promote harmony between cultures that obviously have their differences. If this truly were the group’s mission, it would be a laudable one as peaceful coexistence is certainly preferable to the obvious alternative.

The problem is that the organization is alleged to have connections to the extremist Muslim Brotherhood and has been identified as a fund-raiser for the terrorist group Hamas. So much for an exclusive focus on peace. Instead, CAIR acts as a vehicle for promoting conflict as an advocate for militant Islamic interests.

In its effort to conceal any connection between certain segments of Islam and terrorism, CAIR reveals its hand to those who are willing to watch. For example, it is seeking the dismissal of military training personnel who point out some of the inconvenient truths about Islamic terror groups.

The Islamic terrorist front group that transformed the way U.S. law enforcement agencies conduct anti-terrorism training is ordering the Air Force to sever ties with an instructor it considers to be anti-Muslim. The question is will the Trump administration cave into its demands? Under Barack Obama, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a group that reportedly raises money for Hamas, wielded tremendous power and managed to bully law enforcement agencies at the local, state and federal level to alter counterterrorism training materials deemed by the group to discriminate against Muslims.

For a man who claimed not to be a Muslim, Mr. Obama certainly was an aggressive advocate for their cause, even going so far as to support groups such as CAIR, which as just pointed out, was greatly empowered by the Obama administration. In so doing, Mr. Obama was at least tacitly supporting some of the very terrorist organizations whose activities he purported to oppose.

Judicial Watch connects the dots very well in this troubling case.

Keep in mind that CAIR is a terrorist front group with extensive links to foreign and domestic Islamists. It was founded in 1994 by three Middle Eastern extremists (Omar Ahmad, Nihad Awad and Rafeeq Jaber) who ran the American propaganda wing of Hamas, known then as the Islamic Association for Palestine. In 2008 CAIR was a co-conspirator in a federal terror-finance case involving the Hamas front group Holy Land Foundation. … Judicial Watch also tried to find out if CAIR got the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to overhaul its anti-terrorism training but the spy agency said it could “neither confirm nor deny the existence or nonexistence of records” involving meetings or communications with the Muslim rights group. … It’s likely that the CIA met with CAIR during the Obama years—or at least had communication with the extremist group—and doesn’t want the public to know about it.

If CAIR is influencing our military or intelligence agencies then there is genuine reason for concern. Much of what these parts of our government do is rightly classified. Hence it is impossible for the public to learn to what degree hostile interests might have influenced areas of the U.S. government that are vital to our safety.

It is crucial that groups like Judicial Watch pursue every avenue they can to hold  to the highest of standards those agencies that are responsible for promoting the welfare of the citizens of America. This is not going to be easy. But when the involvement of groups such as CAIR is involved, it’s time to take note.
