The
national Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) is holding their annual
banquet on December 17, 2016 for the fifth year in a row at the Crystal
Gateway Marriott in Arlington, Virginia. The Crystal Gateway Marriott
also hosted CAIR's 2015,
2014,
2013
and 2012
banquets.
Florida
Family Association's online campaigns have influenced several hoteliers.
Here's why many American’s are concerned
about CAIR’s history and agenda:
- The United Arab Emirates’ ministerial
cabinet listed the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as one
of 83 banned terrorist organizations on November 15, 2014.
- CAIR chapters demonstrated
in the streets across America to show their support for Hamas even
declaring that “We are Hamas.”
- Omar Ahmad, Chairman and founder of the
Council on American Islamic Relations, told
a Muslim crowd Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other
faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture,
should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted
religion on Earth. At the Islamic Association of
Palestine’s third annual convention in Chicago in November 1999, Omar
Ahmad gave
a speech at a youth session praising suicide bombers who kill
themselves for Islam. Fighting for freedom, fighting for Islam
— that is not suicide. They kill themselves for Islam, he
said.
- Nihad Awad, CAIR Executive Director, said
I am in support of the Hamas movement.
- Mustafa Carroll, executive director of the
Dallas-Fort Worth CAIR branch, told
a crowd at a Muslim rally in Austin, Texas in 2013 If we are
practicing Muslims, we are above the law of the land.
- CAIR
pressured the FBI in June 2013 to stop their Most Wanted advertising
campaign which helped the FBI gain information regarding the whereabouts
of dangerous terrorists. The list of CAIR officials who have made
apologetic comments in the public regarding terrorists is quite
extensive.constitutions. Sharia
law is antithetical to the rights and liberties afforded under the
United States Constitution.
- Ghassan
Elashi, founder of CAIR’s Texas chapter, in 2009 received
a 65-year prison sentence for funneling over $12 million from the
Islamic charity known as the Holy Land Foundation to the jihad terrorist
group Hamas, which is responsible for murdering hundreds of Israeli
civilians.
- Mousa Abu Marzook, a former CAIR official,
was in 1995 designated by the U.S. government in 1995 as a “terrorist
and Hamas leader.” He now is a Hamas
leader in Syria.
- Randall Royer, CAIR’s former civil rights
coordinator, in 2004
began serving a 20-year prison sentence for aiding al-Qaida and the
Taliban against American troops in Afghanistan and recruiting for
Lashkar e-Taiba, the jihadist group responsible for the 2008 Mumbai
jihad massacres.
- Bassem Khafagi, CAIR’s former community
relations director, was arrested for involvement with the Islamic
Assembly of North America, which
was linked to al-Qaida. After pleading guilty to visa and bank fraud
charges, Khafagi was deported.
- Rabih Haddad, a former CAIR fundraiser, was
deported for his work with the Global Relief Foundation (which he
co-founded), a terror-financing organization.
- CAIR is an unindicted
co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case--so named by the
Justice Department during the HLF trial.
The FBI is prohibited from having “non-investigative
interactions” with CAIR.
- “In 2008, the FBI developed a policy on
its interactions with CAIR based in part on evidence presented during
the 2007 trial of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development.!
The evidence at trial linked CAIR leaders to Hamas, a specially
designated terrorist organization, and CAIR was named as an unindicted
co-conspirator in the case. The policy was intended to significantly
restrict the FBI's non-investigative interactions with CAIR and to
prevent CAIR from publicly exploiting such contacts with the FBI.” Office
of the Inspector General.
- In September 2013 the Office of the
Inspector General audit of the FBI stated in part: the FBI
needs to ensure that all appropriate personnel at Headquarters,
particularly OPA and - and in the field offices are fully briefed on the
requirement to coordinate with one another. The FBI's re-promulgation of
the in June 2011, reflects its belief that specific considerations still
require that non-investigative interactions with CAIR be restricted on
an ongoing basis. Office
of the Inspector General report page 36 of 41. – represent
redacted information.
CAIR is working hard to make Sharia law
legal in the United States.
- CAIR sent out a press
announcement on April 7, 2015 applauding Iowa's failure to pass
legislation that would have banned Sharia law in their state courts.
- CAIR sent out an email
alert on March 30, 2015 asking their members to send emails urging
Arkansas lawmakers to oppose HB 1474 which would prohibit Arkansas
courts from recognizing foreign laws including Islamic Sharia law.
- CAIR called
on their supporters to urge members of the "South Carolina
General Assembly to reject ... House Resolution 3521 (which) seeks to
"prevent a court or other enforcement authority from enforcing
foreign law, including but not limited to, Sharia Law in the state.
..."
- CAIR-Ohio
website states the following regarding the CAIR-Cleveland April 23,
2013 banquet: "The keynote speaker, Asifa Quraishi-Landes, Esq.,
from University of Wisconsin Law School spoke about her new report
entitled 'Sharia and Diversity: Why Americans Are Missing the
Point.'"
- CAIR issued a press
release on March 1, 2012 titled CAIR Releases Community Toolkit
to Challenge 'Anti-Sharia' Bills. CAIR started a nationwide
campaign to fight for Sharia to be legal in more than 20
states.
It
is very difficult to comprehend why Marriott continues to host the Council on
American Islamic Relations’ (CAIR) national banquet given their sympathy for
terrorist allies, support for Sharia law in America and opposition toward
Israel.
Americans
who are concerned about CAIR’s history and agenda have the First Amendment Right
to complain about this event and choose hoteliers who do not give place to
the same. Florida Family Association has prepared an email for you to
send to Marriott's officers and directors. Your email will not only
voice concern about this important issue but it will also educate corporate
officials with facts regarding CAIR's history.
Your support
of Florida Family Association's email campaigns is making a difference.
