The brother of a prominent CAIR executive wrote about killing Jews on
Facebook while waiting for a plane at Israel's David Ben Gurion Airport
after a trip to Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Middle East Forum's Sam
Westrop found.
Ahmed Billoo, known on Facebook as "Ahmed Ibn Aslam," is Zahra
Billoo's brother. She is executive director for the Council on American-Islamic
Relations' (CAIR) San Francisco-Bay Area office and also is known for her frequent anti-Semitic outbursts. Ahmed
Billoo is the religious director of the Islamic Center of Cypress and
a professor at California Islamic University. He also teaches at the
Institute of Knowledge, which Westrop identifies as a seminary that has
other faculty from a hardline Salafist/Deoban ideology.
"Oh God, reduce their numbers, exterminate them, and don't leave a
single one alive," Billoo wrote in an Arabic post featuring the hashtag
"#Zionists."
Once Billoo reached Istanbul he posted, "So good to be in a Muslim
country," with the hashtag "#TiredofSeeingZionists."
This is nothing new for Billoo. Westrop notes that The Jewish Journal
describes an Ahmed Billoo from Alhambra, Calif., Billoo's home, who said
that suicide bombers should be looked at on a case-by-case basis. He was president of the California State University Long Beach
Muslim Student Association at the time.
Imam Faisal Ahmed, who heads the New York-based Fiqh Institute, replied to Billoo saying, "Ameen!!! Wow you were
at the place where Eesa [Jesus] will slay the Dajjal [Anti-Christ]! Oh
Allah make it happen soon make it happen soon. Destroy the forces of kufr
[non-Muslims] and cause Emaan [faith] in you to spread throughout the earth
Ameen!"
Several individuals belonging to leading U.S. Islamist groups showed
their approval by liking Billoo's post. These included American Muslims for
Palestine (AMP) Associate Director of Outreach & Grassroots Organizing
Taher Herzallah, who affirmed his belief in Israel's destruction last
November.
"Now, Zionists claim that voicing this statement erases them and
threatens their project. They interpret it as meaning the destruction of
Israel. If giving Palestinians their right to live freely means the
destruction of Israel, then so be it," Herzallah wrote on Facebook.
CAIR California board
member Abdelhamead Ibrahim, who also is an activist in Zahra Billoo's
CAIR SFBA subchapter, also liked the post, so did Dalen Carter, an events and outreach assistant with
CAIR Los Angeles.
CAIR and its allies like saying they oppose Israel's policies, but their
embrace of posts like this serve as a reminder that Jew hatred lurks
beneath the propagandistic façade.
