Hamas-linked group partners with Chicago public schools to combat Islamophobia

An organization tied to the terrorist group Hamas works with Chicago Public Schools to combat alleged Islamophobia.

The Chicago chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), offers a program called, “The Chicago Public Schools Project.” According to CAIR Chicago’s website, the organization has offered the program since 2014 as part of an attempt to “promote inclusion and understanding about Islam and the Muslim community.” The program claims to battle Islamophobia through a variety of efforts, including: “cultural sensitivity training” and a “Muslim Background Seminar.”

CAIR has come under scrutiny over its alleged ties to and support of the terror organization Hamas. The White House in October condemned comments made by CAIR's director, who said he “was happy to see” Palestinians break out of Gaza on Oct. 7, when Hamas terrorists attacked Israel, killing more than 1,200 people.

In a 2009 court ruling, a federal judge concluded, “The government has produced ample evidence to establish the associations of CAIR, ISNA, NAIT, with NAIT, the Islamic Association for Palestine, and with Hamas.” CAIR also was identified as a co-conspirator helping the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) – a former Islamic charity labeled a terrorist group by the FBI in 2001 – shower Hamas with millions of dollars.

Moreover, many of CAIR’s most prominent members were part of the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), an organization which has been accused of spreading Hamas propaganda throughout the United States. Omar Ahmed and Nihad Awad, CAIR’s Chairman Emeritus and Executive Director, served as high-ranking members of the IAP. Rafeeq Jabar, a former IAP president, joined CAIR as a founding director. Ghassan Elashi, a former treasurer for the Hamas-linked Holy Land Foundation, was a founding member of CAIR’s Texas Chapter.

Roz Rothstein, co-founder and CEO of StandWithUs, a self-described educational organization that fights antisemitism, warned that CAIR’s program could potentially traffic in anti-Jewish hatred.

"CAIR and its leaders have a long track record of promoting antisemitism before and after October 7th. This includes referring to 'Zionist synagogues' as the 'enemy' and expressing happiness about the horrific invasion of Israel on October 7th. While we can't comment on this specific program without seeing its content, we urge institutions that work with CAIR to seek alternative partners that genuinely support mutual respect and understanding between all communities.

What’s to teach; muslims want to kill the Infidel. Read the Quoran.

The best way to combat “islamophobia” would be for Muslims to quit following Muhammad’s violent teachings.

A phobia is an irrational fear. I’m not an Islamaphobic - my fear is quite rational.

Islam is a cult! The Koran is a book of fire starter and Sh!t paper. I wish these people would crawl back into their sand dwellings and disappear.

Islamophobia is not a real thing. A phobia is an irrational fear and an exaggerated response to that stimulus. Fear in the presence of a dark threatening individual is perfectly rational, and Hamas has all the marks and reputation of a collection of dark threatening individuals. That they are also regarded as Muslim makes them no less threatening. Their reputation has assured most other non-Muslims that violence may erupt at any moment, for reasons not apparent to the non-Muslim.

It’s not phobia, that’s an intimidation play to belittle people. It’s unwillingness to bow to the evil.

--- "Hamas-linked group partners with Chicago public schools to combat Islamophobia"

A Democrat will do anything, kiss any backside, and suck up where sucking up is expected for a buck or two. It's the Chicago way, the Obama way, the Biden way.

And when things don't go quite the way the Democrats expect, they check themselves into hospitals due to panic attacks.
