Somali-American tried to stop Al-Shabaab jihad recruitment in U.S., so Hamas-linked CAIR called...
Jihad Watch ^ | 9/24/2013 | Robert Spencer

Yet more indication of which side Hamas-linked CAIR is really on: "Somali-American leader: ‘I tried to warn America’ about homegrown radicalization,'" by Charles C. Johnson in the Daily Caller, September 23 (thanks to all who sent this in):

The Council on American Islamic Relations repeatedly tried to stop a Minnesota community leader from warning about the dangers al-Qaida-linked group posed to the Somali-American community prior to the Kenyan mall massacre.

“I tried to warn America,” Abdirizak Bihi, a Minnesota-based Somali community leader, explained to The Daily Caller.

Minnesota residents were reportedly among the attackers in the grisly assault by al-Shabaab terrorists on the Westgate mall in Nairobi, Kenya. The Twin Cities are home to the largest Somali community in the United States.

Bihi has been working to stop radicalization of Somali-Americans for years. He has testified before Congress about the dangers of radicalization in the U.S. Somali community, working alongside the FBI and the Justice Department. His involvement is personal. Bihi’s nephew was radicalized by al-Shabaab and joined the group in 2008. He was killed the following year.

But he told The Daily Caller the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) has blocked his efforts for years, telling law enforcement agencies by telling them that he doesn’t know the Somali community and calling him “an Islamophobe” in a recent report.

“They say that I am a bad person, that I am anti-Muslim, and that I don’t represent a hundred percent the Somali community,” Bihi said. “They lie about my life most of the time and try to destroy my character, my capability, and my trust in the community.”

Gee, where have I heard Hamas-linked CAIR act like that before?

Bihi, director of the Somali Education and Social Advocacy Center, also says CAIR has tried to bring Somalis into the organization and denies the threat that terrorism poses....

Bihi blames CAIR with coming between his organization and the Abubakar as-Saddique mosque in Minneapolis. “It’s a big mosque,” he said. “That mosque lately has been doing works to combat al-Shabaab.” But he said when the mosque was more closely affiliated with CAIR, it was a center for recruitment by radicals. “All of our kids were going there for years. That’s where indoctrination happened,” he said....

Wake up America! This is a damn war and we are in a fire fight to the finish, like it or not. There can be only one survivor. This war has been smoldering since the 7th century.

Well, since Brennan himself seems to be a Sunni Muslim, I guess we shouldn’t have expected otherwise from our government. Not to mention our Muslim radical president.

CAIR is untouchable in the present Administration, so therefore they should be target #1 when an opposition Administration takes power (if it ever happens).

There is no doubt somewhere they have not fully paid their taxes, or they have assisted a terrorist or suspect group, or broke some immigration law. Whatever it is - they need to be dismantled.

I understood yesterday , that CAIR was being investigated for money laundering and violating their 501 (c)3 status.
Also , yesterday , I read here that CAIR was changing it's name (appropriately )to the intitials : WTF (?), but i don't recall what those letters stood for.

“CAIR is untouchable in the present Administration....”

.
Was it more touchable under a GOP administration with all its spineless politicians who, even today, remain mute in the face of the muslim onslaught?

Has anyone of them publicly repudiated GW’s claim that islam is a ROP?

Does any of them even dare to criticize this tangible evil?

It doesn’t matter what CAIR says, does or supports. They have been so activist for so long that they are now part of the protected class. Laws, rules, etc... are meaningless to them and they simply don’t need to abide by them. Short of committing mass murder in broad daylight at FBI headquarters they are immune from actual prosecution. Neither law enforcement nor congress has the balls to actually crush these terrorists.

Everyone who pays attention to these things knows that CAIR just about always supports Islamic radicalism and terrorism above all else while posing as a “civil rights” organization for American Muslims. So nothing surprising here.
