Ok, where is the ACLU?

[sarasota]

These organizations are everywhere, especially child care facilities. May these busts increase in frequency.

[shankbear]

You can bet your butt that they will be around pretty soon.

[Alouette]

Just damn. I live near this place. Talk about the belly of the beast! (I work in Dearborn too)

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

What, some NY Slimes reporter didn't tip them off in advance?

"...said Dawud Walid, head of the Michigan branch of the Council on American Islamic Relations."

CAIR absolutely needs to be listed as a terrorist organization. EVERY on of their offices needs to be raided.
If the Islamofacists can burn churches for just being insulted, the CAIR offices should burn because they are insulting to many Americans.

This is the largest Muslim charity in the USA.

Some excerpts from Debbie Schlussel's article from the link above:

Less than half an hour ago, the FBI began raiding LIFE and hauling out documents. Well, it's about time. LIFE--the largest Islamic charity still open for business in America--openly admitted on its 1995-'97 taxes to be a major funder of HAMAS. Headquartered in the Orthodox Jewish suburban Detroit subdivision in which I grew up, it gave millions to Human Appeal International, which the FBI identified as HAMAS' Jordanian operation. It has done many vague "Katrina," "Lebanon Relief," and "Afghanistan Wheelchair" fundraisers and believed to have laundered the money to terrorists.

Then, there are its multiple fundraisers over the last couple of years "for more Fallujahs" according to sources at a secret 2004 Los Angeles area fundraiser held by LIFE. LIFE is believed to be a major funder of the insurgent terrorists in Iraq. That's why, in 2004, the U.S. Army raided its Iraqi headquarters, frequently operated by its spokesman and operative Mohammed Alomari (more on him below).

The disturbing thing is that for years, the feds--including Homeland Security civil rights officer Daniel Sutherland, U.S. Attorney Stephen Murphy III, and his predecessor Jeffrey Collins--have feted this charity, all while it was apparently funding Islamic terrorists.

[...]

n 2002, LIFE led the Saddam Hussein propaganda trip that U.S. Democratic Congressmen David Bonior, Jim McDermott, and Mike Thompson, which was also funded by Iraqi oil-for-food scam artist Shakir Alkhafaji--who is living, free, in the Detroit suburb of West Bloomfield, despite $70 in earnings he obtained from doing business with Saddam.

Humiliating the poor Muslims again.

[hsalaw]

It was founded in 1992 to help people in Iraq.

Yeah. Right.

[angkor]

I'm wondering why CAIR is providing PR during criminal investigations.
