CAIR And ACLU, A Deadly Combo

Posted on August 29, 2005

America needs to wake up from the politically correct dreamworld if it hopes to remain the free society it is. While we rightly fight across the ocean to spread democracy, ours is being eaten away from the inside. The trojan horses are marching disguised in patriotic camo, and their danger is real. The question is, why isn’t something being done about it? The answer is, yet another dangerous enemy; one that has America in the grips of its talons; political correctness.

Two of the most dangerous organizations in America can be found allied together often, the ACLU and CAIR.

For those who are still not familiar with the group CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, I will provide some background information.

Founded in 1994, CAIR is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and has thirty-one chapters and regional offices in the United States and Canada. CAIR was founded by Nihad Awad, Omar Ahwad, Rafiq Jaber, and other former members of the Islamic Association of Palestine (IAP). Jaber is also the current spokesman for the Bridgeview Mosque Foundation in Illinois; a mosque tied to the IAP and to the Quranic Literacy Institute named in the 2004 drive-by murder of David Boim.*

The IAP and Quranic Literacy Institute were ordered by the court to pay Boim’s family $156M in restitution; money that had previously been raised in the U.S. as “charity” donations by these Islamic organizations. U.S. donations were used to finance terrorist activities, and subsequently for the results of said terrorist activities — most interesting.

The IAP has often been referred to as the American wing of Hamas, a terrorist group that has vowed to destroy Israel. Of interest, Hamas senior leader Mahmoud al-Zahar, in a recent interview with Arab newspaper Asharq Al Awsat, said: “We do not and will not recognize a state called Israel. This land is the property of all Muslims in all parts of the world. Let Israel die!” Suffice to say, this is not an organization that has any desire or any plans for peace. Source

Why are they still an active organization? Political Correctness.

Islamic education in the U.S. (are these Wahabee schools?) also appears to be in the process of attempting to take over U.S. private school organizations, at least in Texas. In 2004, the Islamic Education Institute of Texas sought inclusion into TAPPS (Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools). As reported by the Houston Chronicle, Edd Burleson (Director of TAPPS) had the ‘extreme audacity’ to ask questions of the Islamic educational organization.

Quoting the Islamic Quran, which calls upon Muslims to be violent against Christians and Jews, Burleson asked in a letter containing ten questions to the group: “Why do you wish to join an organization whose membership is basically in total disagreement with your religious beliefs?”

As if asking these questions wasn’t cheeky enough, Burleson went on to ask about the Islamic organization’s position on “the spread of Islam in America” and the objectives of the school “in this regard”. A week later, Burleson sent another letter that included the question “Do you teach your students to ‘Make war on them (Christians and Jews) until idolatry is no more and Allah’s religion reigns supreme’ (Koran 8:37)?”

These questions were enough to bring the ACLU flying to Islam’s defense. The ACLU and CAIR demanded an apology from Burleson! It appears that questions directed to Islamic organizations are no longer to be allowed in the USA.
However, as we already know, reverse situations are allowed. Christians may be asked any and all questions, and are allowed to be browbeaten unmercifully by both Islam and the ACLU.

So the ACLU is not alone in its hatred for Christians. It has found a valueable ally in its war.

The ACLU is working with CAIR and Amnesty International (a decidedly in-my-opinion Marxist group) to defend Ghassan Elashi and his brothers, who were convicted of terrorism.

. In 2001, the ACLU joined CAIR and other Islamic support groups to challenge the detention of potential terrorists.

. In 2003, the ACLU joined CAIR and other Muslim advocacy groups to challenge portions of the Patriot Act.

. Also in 2003, the Ohio chapter of the ACLU awarded its yearly “Liberty Flame Award” to the Ohio chapter of CAIR “for contributions to
the advancement and protection of civil liberties.”

. In 2004, the ACLU joined CAIR in demanding the FBI make its files public as to [its] surveillance of Chicago Muslim groups and ‘expressed special concern today over the FBI’s targeting of Muslims and Arabs in the Chicago community’. Note: Remember it was two Illinois groups (the
IAP and Quranic Literacy Institute) that were convicted of terrorist murder.

. In North Carolina 2005, the ACLU joined forces with CAIR toward including swearing on the Koran (as opposed to the Bible) for Muslims.
Note: The push for Shari’a law in Canada has already become a strong force. Will the U.S. be next?

I guess this explains why the ACLU refused funds from so many organizations because of anti-terrorism stipulations. In October of 2004, the ACLU turned down $1.15 million in funding from two of it’s most generous and loyal contributors, the Ford and Rockefeller foundations, saying new anti-terrorism restrictions demanded by the institutions make it unable to accept their funds.
“The Ford Foundation now bars recipients of its funds from engaging in any activity that “promotes violence, terrorism, bigotry, or the destruction of any state.”

The Rockefeller Foundation’s provisions state that recipients of its funds may not “directly or indirectly engage in, promote, or support other organizations or individuals who engage in or promote terrorist activity.”Source
And recently they have refused funds from the United Way because they wanted assurance the money would not be involved with anyone on the Federal terrorism watch list.

It is obvious the ACLU why the ACLU refused this money. They are openly working with an organization that has known terrorists ties. I know that many ACLU supporters follow blindly, but with facts like this, even if I were a card carrying ACLU member, I would think twice about where my money might be going.

When will America wake up from this politically correct nightmare? Let’s hope, before it is too late.

Thank you Indepundit, Outside The Beltway and Mudville Gazette.

“Will the U.S. be next?” America already IS next by the looks of it. Well bring it on Rajeem, I’ll pit my Bible against your Koran anyday of the week. Is that PC enough?

Peace and “tolerance”

Ibrahim Hooper of CAIR defends ISA. Look what Charles Schumer, of all people, had to say:
