The CAIR Effect: See Something, Do Nothing

As news of the San Bernardino jihadist shootings blared on airport TVs, I spotted a TSA monitor flashing the now ubiquitous message:

"If you SEE something, SAY something."

The warning should be followed with a big "LOL" and a winky-blinky, just-kidding emoji. It's one of the emptiest slogans in modern American life.

While the White House pays lip service to homeland security vigilance, it consorts with Islamic terror sympathizers who attack vigilant citizens and law enforcement officers at every turn.

Yes, I'm looking at you, Council on American-Islamic Relations.

After seeing CAIR's bizarre press conference with the San Bernardino jihadists' family members, here's what I'd like to say to them:

You are not to be trusted. You put damage control above border control and jihad control. You are enemies of our national security and sovereignty.

Reminder: The feds designated CAIR an unindicted terror co-conspirator in 2007 in the prosecution of the Holy Land Foundation and others for providing support to Hamas jihadists. Over the alleged objections of Dallas-area federal prosecutors, the Obama Justice Department's senior political appointees declined to press terror-financing charges against CAIR co-founder Omar Ahmad.

Instead, the administration has rolled out the red carpet for CAIR officials "hundreds" of times since 2009 on a "range of issues."

This is the same group of "Islamophobia!"-shrieking grievance grifters that cooked up the Ahmed "Clock Boy" Mohamed brouhaha in Texas, where the city of Irving and Irving Independent School District are now being sued for $15 million after raising alarms over the teen's low-tech media stunt. Obama hailed Mohamed before the boy jetted off to Qatar to cash in on a Muslim Brotherhood-linked educational scholarship.

This is the same group of litigious radicals who unsuccessfully sued a Florida gun shop owner this summer for declaring that he would refuse to sell weapons to "[a]nyone who is either directly or indirectly associated with terrorism in any way." A judge ruled this week that "[t]here are simply no facts grounding the assertion that Plaintiff (CAIR) and/or one of its constituents will be harmed." CAIR is appealing, of course.

This is the same group of treacherous thugs that squelched critics of Somalia-based jihad group al-Shabab in Minnesota. CAIR smeared whistleblowing Muslims who participated in an educational Minneapolis forum on al-Shabab terrorism and youth gangs as "anti-Muslim." In 2013, the uncle of a missing young Muslim radical testified before Congress about CAIR's efforts to pressure families to impede FBI investigations.

"CAIR held meetings for some members of the community and told them not to talk to the FBI," Abdirizak Bihi told lawmakers, "which was a slap in the face for the Somali American Muslim mothers who were knocking on doors day and night with pictures of their missing children and asking for the community to talk to law enforcement about what they know of the missing kids."

This is the same group of free speech-trampling zealots that bombarded private citizen, Zaba Davis, with harassing subpoenas over her opposition to a planned construction project by the Muslim Community Association and Michigan Islamic Academy. A federal judge called CAIR's anti-free speech witch hunt "chilling" and ordered the outfit to pay $9,000 in legal fees.

This is the same manipulative group of controversy-manufacturing instigators who tried to sue "John Does" -- innocent American citizens who alerted the authorities about their security concerns -- in 2007 after a group of imams falsely claimed they were discriminated against on a Minneapolis flight.

And this is the same dangerous group of jihad enablers that filed an obstructionist lawsuit to block vigilant Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from quizzing Muslim border-crossers about their ties to jihadist martyrs and radical mosques. The anti-"racial profiling" lawsuit has dragged on for three years.

Little wonder, then, that in this politically correct climate of intimidation, a neighbor of the San Bernardino jihadists told local media this week that he had "noticed a half-dozen Middle Eastern men in the area in recent weeks, but decided not to report anything since he did not wish to racially profile those people."

That's the CAIR effect: See something, do nothing. Silence is complicity.

I called my local Sheriff’s office to report myself as being a suspicious person. I’m suspicious of everyone!

[momtothree]

FWIW... I saw on Fox a discussion about the next door neighbor of these people. The question was asked of her why didn’t she report the suspicion (packages being delivered all the time, and working in the garage all night). Apparently, she thought about calling the police/Homeland Security BUT felt that since the couple was Muslim/Middle Eastern... she would be “seen” as a racist. Thus, the PC climate in our country puts the concept of being seen as a racist OVER the safety of our fellow citizens. See something, say something ONLY if the person/people are white.

There is s very suspicious man who has given money to the muslim Brotherhood.

He has helicopters and jets at his disposal. He always has armed men around him. He is known for hating Christian. Please arrest him. He is at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

[Puppage]

He is at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

There's a golf course there?

[IC Ken]

The golf course is planned for his third to 4th term. If he can get more terrorists in here.

[zzwhale]

I SEE CAIR..... an unindicted co-conspirator in 9/11/01 STILL ALLOWED IN THIS COUNTRY...

goes to show that even terrorists can buy congress...
america the best govenment money can buy..........

[Patton@Bastogne]

[rovenstinez]

Sounds like we can expect a crisis...and that the Obamas will be in the Whitehouse a few more years.

[Patton@Bastogne]

a crisis to be sure ... who Obama use ISIS-terror to cancel the 2016 elections under the guise of martial law ?

[PGalt]

That's the CAIR effect: See something, do nothing. Silence is complicity.

Speaking of complicity, the name of the terrorist was withheld until C.A.I.R. had time to prep for a press conference with relative of the suspect. (paraphrasing Glenn Beck who was quoting Buck Sexton)

Bow down to C.A.I.R. (collective against individual rights) BUMP!

Very good article by Michelle Malkin. Thanks for posting.

See Something, Say "Muslim"

[CPT Clay]

Its a clock

[Kaslin]

Including yourself?

[Kaslin]

I wonder if she feels guilty?

[equaviator]

Good point!...I could be walking and talking in my sleep so how would I know where I’ve been?

[Elsie]

Thus, the PC climate in our country puts the concept of being seen as a racist OVER the safety of our fellow citizens.

Or a hateful Christian if killing the unborn is anathema to you.

a neighbor of the San Bernardino jihadists told local media this week that he had "noticed a half-dozen Middle Eastern men in the area in recent weeks, but decided not to report anything since he did not wish to racially profile those people."

Here's the picture of his wife that the media won't show you...
