CAIR Discouraging Parents of Minnesota Mujahadeen from Talking

Family, relatives and friends protested the Minneapolis Chapter of CAIR for thwarting an FBI investigation into the murder last week of Burhan Hassan by Al Shabaab terrorists in Mogadishu, who had recruited him.

We had posted on the unfortunate killing of 18 year old Hassan, who had attended Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis, as did suicide bomber Shirwa Ahmed who took the lives of 29 others in Somalia last year.

• The FBI wants to find out who recruited and transported Ahmed and 20 other missing Minneapolis youths to Somalia to join the Taliban-like Al Shabaab militia.
• Al Shabaab was designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the State Department in 2008.

The Star Tribune report notes:

• About 50 people protested Thursday outside the Brian Coyle Community Center in Minneapolis, where the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ Minnesota chapter held an ice cream social.
• Abdirizak Bihi is an uncle of 18-year-old Burhan Hassan, who relatives say was killed in Somalia last week.

Bihi and others say CAIR is discouraging Somalis from coming forward.

“We don’t want anyone to come into our community and tell us to shut up,” Bihi said. “Law enforcement will not be able to do anything without information from the community.”

• About 50 people attended the rally, waving signs and hollering, “CAIR out! Doublespeak out!”
• CAIR Minnesota has encouraged anyone interviewed by the FBI to have a lawyer present.

A CAIR spokeswoman says the effort isn’t to discourage cooperation, but rather to ensure that civil rights are protected.

The FBI investigation into the missing men is ongoing. Authorities believe they went to Somalia to fight for terror groups.

The uncle of slain Burhan Hassan, Osman Ahmed had this to say: ….some in the family believe CAIR has aligned itself too closely with mosques where some believe the missing boys may have been influenced to leave.

“They are supporting the groups we suspect of recruiting our kids,” Ahmed said. “We refuse to be silent.”

Call for CAIR Day Proclamation to be Rescended

CAIR is being challanged on their American Sharia victory of getting having an American Day named after them.

-Ahmed Haenni


We call on you to rescind the Proclamation you signed declaring November 15, 2008 "COUNCIL ON AMERICAN-ISLAMIC RELATIONS (CAIR) DAY."

• By signing the document, you ignored a number of troubling facts regarding CAIR. * CAIR was founded in 1994 by operatives from the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), which at the time was the American propaganda wing of Hamas, producing terror training videos for Hamas and publishing the Hamas charter in different languages.
• CAIR was created as being a part of the American Palestine Committee, which at the time was led by the global head of Hamas, Mousa Abu Marzook.
• CAIR has had a number of representatives involved in terrorism, who were convicted and/or deported for various criminal activities.
• CAIR is currently named by the U.S. Justice Department as a co-conspirator for a federal trial dealing with the financing of millions of dollars to Hamas.
• CAIR-Florida representative Jawhar Sadallah Badran was recently caught on video stating his support for Hamas. CAIR's National Executive Director once did the same.
• Keep in mind, Hamas is on the U.S. State Department list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs). And while it is not illegal to verbalize one’s support for Hamas, it is immoral and offensive to do so, and it is as well immoral to legitimize any individual or group who does so.
• We understand that you have signed this Proclamation for "CAIR Day" every year for at least the past four years.
• We ask that you take the opportunity to end this trend immediately by withdrawing this most recent Proclamation.
• To ignore this would be to ignore the worst of hatred and extremism. We urge you to rescind the Proclamation immediately. Sincerely,

Would the removal of the DAIR day slow the American Sharia proccess? -you are welcome to comment.

MPAC Holds Press Conference Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West"

My question about this controvery over Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West". Is what they say true? Does the Muslim Brotherhood have a plan for the world?

-Ahmed Haenni

October 12, 2008 ( from MPAC)

"We, as members of civic and religious organizations along with law enforcement, come together united against hate and extremism. We believe that the best way to counter political and religious extremism is through cooperation and coordination. Those who divide our pluralism along the lines of religious or political views only further the cause of extremism. They profit from the fear generated from propaganda while we are on the front lines of pursuing effective public policy to eradicate terrorism.

We have come together to express our deep outrage over the recent distribution of a divisive and hate-provoking DVD called "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West" to residents across the nation.

The intent of this DVD is not to fight the common threat of terrorism, but to mischaracterize Islam in a way that dehumanizes Muslims. In its own way, the DVD is designed to provoke fear in Americans, to paralyze us and turn us against the values of pluralism, egalitarianism, and respect that have made America great.

Frank J. Gaffney, Jr. and Alex AlexievFrontPageMagazine.com 10/16/2008The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) – an organization identified as a California-based Muslim Brotherhood front – convened a press conference today in Los Angeles with a senior representative of local law enforcement and members of other faiths.

The stated purpose is to unveil a new “united front” initiative called the “Coalition for Renewing American Democracy”

• The problem for the Muslim Brotherhood is that millions of copies of “Obsession” have been distributed around the United States in recent weeks in national magazines, to several hundred college campuses, at both political conventions, and in local newspapers. As a result, many millions of Americans have had an opportunity to be educated about the ambitions of those who adhere to the Islamic political and legal system known as “Shariah” – namely, the realization through “jihad” of a world-wide and brutally repressive Islamic theocracy.
• “Obsession” utilizes actual footage of radical Islamist rallies and calls to violent jihad against America, along with interviews of Muslim and non-Muslim experts on radical Islamism.
