We are all aware of the barbaric acts of ISIS, al Qaeda and the others flying the Black Flag. Sadly their violence continues to kill innocents around the world and here at home. They fight in the cause of Jihad to impose their totalitarian religion on all people. But they are not the only ones working toward that goal. There are other Islamist groups who seem much less dangerous on the surface, but actually represent an even more insidious threat to free western society. They seek to use our very freedoms as weapons against us.
Louisiana House Passes Bill to Cut Law Enforcement Ties with Hamas-Linked CAIR
House Resolution 170 calls upon “…law enforcement and governmental agencies to avoid and suspend contacts and outreach activities with" the Muslim Brotherhood group.
It’s important for individual states to heed the call in formulating bills which sever ties with Muslim Brotherhood entities such as the terror-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
Louisiana is one state who not only drafted legislation but the bill successfully passed Louisiana’s House of Representatives with bipartisan approval.
House Resolution NO. 170 sponsored by Representative Barry Ivey calls upon “…law enforcement and governmental agencies to avoid and suspend contacts and outreach activities with the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR).”
The bill details why one would have major security concerns about CAIR’s links to terrorism, some of which are listed below:
“…the Federal Bureau of Investigation has suspended all formal contacts with the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) due to evidence indicating a relationship between CAIR and Hamas, a designated foreign terrorist organization…”
“…one of CAIR’s directors was sentenced to a year in federal prison for violating U.S. sanctions against Iraq…”
“…a CAIR director in Virginia pled guilty to terrorism-related financial and conspiracy charges, which resulted in a federal prison sentence…”
“…the federal case against the Holy Land Foundation, a charitable organization that was shut down by the United States Department of the Treasury for funding Jihadist terrorist organizations, was the largest successful terrorism financing prosecution in U.S. history, and the case identified CAIR as a Muslim Brotherhood front group, and CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the trial…”
“…the cofounder of CAIR’s parent organization, Islamic Association for Palestine, was sentenced to prison on terrorism charges for financing Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a designated terrorist organization.”
Furthermore, due to its close ties to (and origins with) the Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR itself is labeled a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates.
With such a record, why would any legitimate organization or government responsible for the security of its citizens want to do business with a group like CAIR? Other states need to adopt similar initiatives in order to protect their citizens from Muslim Brotherhood groups bent on “…eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within…” It’s imperative to cut ties with these organizations, especially with the Obama Administration placing Muslim Brotherhood linked officials such as Zaki Barzinji (White House’s Associate Director of Public Engagement) in influential positions of power.
Contact your state representatives and urge them to adopt such legislation as well take a minute to support the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2015 by filling out the form at the following link. The latter not only puts CAIR in the spotlight but other Muslim Brotherhood entities like the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), Muslim Students’ Association (MSA), and North American Islamic Trust (NAIT) among others.
In 2007, Federal prosecutors brought charges of terrorism financing against the Holy Land Foundation, the largest Islamic charity in America, which funneled $12.4 million to Hamas.
In 2007, the Justice Department convicted the largest Islamic charity in North America, The Holy Land Foundation, and its leadership of channeling more than twelve million dollars to known terrorists in the Middle East.
