Is CAIR a RICO case?
American Thinker ^ | February 16, 2014 | Mathew Hurwitz

The Council on American Islamic Relations, CAIR, claims to be an anti-defamation organization. In fact, as we shall see, it is anything but.

CAIR was founded in 1994 by Nihad Awad and Omar Ahmed, who had ties with the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), which was established by the terrorist organization Hamas. Therefore, it is an outgrowth of the IAP. It opened its first office in Washington, D.C. with a donation from the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, the largest Islamic charity in the U.S. CAIR should be, but is not, registered as a foreign agent. Only 1% of its total revenue comes from membership dues; the balance of its sponsorship is from such foreign sources as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. One of CAIR's unspoken objectives is the Islamification of America.

CAIR funnels money to various nefarious causes. It justifies its criminal money-laundering by comparing its actions to those of AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. They liken AIPAC's open support of Israel to CAIR's secret backing of Israel's enemies. CAIR is a Muslim-American outfit whose key officials were convicted of passing money to Hamas and Hezb'allah, two terrorist organizations dedicated to jihad (holy war) against Israel.

Immediately following 9/11, CAIR placed on its website a plea for donations to its New York and Washington, D.C. emergency relief fund. It accepted money that it diverted to the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, the very Islamic charity which has subsequently been shut down by the FBI for its ties to Hamas. The FBI has declared CAIR a front organization for Hamas. In 2002, federal prosecutors brought charges against the organization for funding Hamas.

Not as long as the DOJ is a continuing criminal enterprise in and of itself.

Correct, and not as long as the Obama administration in the WH continues their already hundreds of meetings with CAIR on many issues.

It’s a long time to 2017, when the trash finally gets taken out of the White House.

That's debatable.
But the current Government Executive Department certainly is!

CAIR is a terrorist front group. If the Attorney General’s List of Subversive Organizations still existed, CAIR would be on it — or at at least, they would have been before Holder.

Absolutely right, in 2002 CAIR was listed by the FBI as a front group for Hamas but Obama directed the FBI to mount an outreach program with CAIR in cases of alleged civil rights violations.

Cosa Nostra is a RICO case

The KKK is a RICO case

ALL of Islam, including CAIR is a RICO case.

The only difference between a radical Muslim who wants to kill you and a moderate Muslim, is the moderate Muslim wishes the radical would go ahead and do it to save him the trouble!

It ought to be a Treason case along with those of every other islamist in the US. Otherwise islamists around the world should hunted down and killed.

These...people are at war with us, even if no one thinks so.

Now, how many muslims are islamists? The vast majority I suspect.

Yes, they are at war with us and many admit it. They tell anyone who will listen they want to destroy our law and Constitution and force sharia law on us. Screw ‘em.

Michael Savage pointed this out years ago and he was right. That’s why Obama fed the UK a pile of lies and got him banned from entering the UK. Later they go Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller banned. These three are world heroes who speak nothing but facts. Facts that shine the light of truth are frightening to the lie tellers on the Left so they try to destroy those with the guts to speak the truth.

Also, when Michael Savage sued CAIR, the discovery phase revealed that the money they raised on their website for charity after 9/11 went to the Holy Land Foundation, a terrorist front.

Is it any wonder the media uses CAIR as the ultimate spokes-organization on Muslim-related matters?
