Carson: Investigate Muslim advocacy group for terrorism ties

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson is calling for a federal investigation into whether the nation's largest Muslim advocacy group, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), has ties to terrorism.

In a policy proposal released on Tuesday outlining his call for a declaration of war against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), Carson said the State Department must investigate the Washington-based nonprofit group as an alleged "supporter of terrorism."

"The Department of State should designate the Muslim Brotherhood and other organizations that propagate or support Islamic terrorism as terrorist organizations, and fully investigate the Council on American-Islamic Relations as an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood and a supporter of terrorism," Carson wrote.

My trust in Carson has dropped considerably. I'm on his side when he calls for investigating these Muslims organizations - though.

Washington Times: Obama secretly backing Muslim Brotherhood

THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IS THE MOTHER SHIP

CAIR, ICNA, USCMO, AL-QAEDA, ISIS, ISIL, HEZBOLLAH, ..., ARE SUBSETS.

[TBP]

Dr. Carson is 100 percent correct about this.

[CatOwner]

Good to see someone other than Trump make this statement.

[EagleUSA]

CAIR has already been established as connected to the Muslim Brotherhood, et al. Why waste the time and money? Nothing will be done about it, as long as Obama dictates law to the DOJ.

[RatRipper]

And throw our “good” President as an additional object of the investigation for good measure.

I like this guy.He gets it. Tonight is going to be very interesting. I don't see the 3 Outsiders going after each other tonight. On the contrary. I believe they will just reinstate there positions,and let the Republicans do all the flailing to improve there p*ss poor #’s.
Go Trump.

Egypt, a majority Muslim country, has the good common sense to outlaw the Muslim Brotherhood. CAIR is its American affiliate and we allow it to operate openly. Why is that?

[MrBambaLaMamba]

Baraq the Caliph will not permit any investigation.

[Awgie]

Put the spotlight on these vermin. Lo info crowd needs a wake up.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Because, according to our esteemed President, being logical like that is “not who we are.”

[nopardons]

EXACTLY !

[tumblindice]

A little more investigation into muslim terrorism and a little less threatening of Americans would be appreciated.

Gosh; do you suppose he means the same CAIR that was the un-indicted co-conspirator in the “holyland foundation” trial.....?

Little late to the party and poor attempt at trying to still be relevant to the race rather than an ‘also ran’.

[TBP]

And turned over hte money that they raised on their website after 9/11 to that same Holy Land Foundation.

I’d like the LA Times to be forced to release Obama’s video on Kalidi (or however you spell the terrorists name).

Regardless, I am glad someone is keeping the Islamic terrorism topic in the news, particularly by someone who until recently was being propped up by the MSM. The MSM certainly isn't going to report this on their own initiative.
