They get called out, and exposed, and they attack the position of the person doing so? Typical taqqiya from jihadis. Funny how anytime a “moderate” group of muslims is exposed as jihadis, they immediately cry islamophobia or some other such BS.
CAIR’s War on Truth
The FBI severs its relationship with a group due to its ties to Hamas. Though it touts itself as “America’s largest Islamic civil liberties and advocacy group,” an FBI agent has testified that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is a Hamas front.
A ranking member of Congress asks the Bureau for more information. He viewed the response he got back as incomplete and he pointedly asks the FBI to try again, mentioning his role on a congressional committee responsible for FBI budgets.
CAIR – frozen out by the FBI since last summer – issued a statement Thursday, accusing the congressman, Virginia Republican Frank Wolf, of having “abused his power.” His hard line, the statement says, is an act out of vengeance because CAIR has disagreed with some of Wolf’s policies and statements.
Wolf is in his 15th term and has been re-elected easily. CAIR’s disagreements with him have done little to slow his work. But the statement still tries to deflect attention from bad news for CAIR about the FBI cut-off first reported in late January by the Investigative Project on Terrorism.
Evidence from the Hamas-support trial of five former officials at the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) show CAIR and two of its founders were part of a Muslim Brotherhood-created support network in America. CAIR founder and current executive director Nihad Awad is listed on a telephone list of “Palestine Committee” members, along with CAIR chairman emeritus Omar Ahmad and Hamas Deputy Political Director Mousa Abu Marzook.
Other records show Awad participated in a secret 1993 meeting of Hamas members and supporters called to discuss ways to “derail” the U.S.-brokered Oslo Accords, which then offered hope for a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
If CAIR wants to regain its access, the FBI has said “certain issues must be addressed to the satisfaction of the FBI.” In a letter to the FBI, Wolf sought details about those “certain issues” and asked what conditions might prompt the FBI to reverse its stance. The four-paragraph response from FBI spokesman John Miller did not address those questions, prompting a harsh rebuke.
The questions about CAIR are not plucked from thin air, but from exhibits in a terror-financing trial that ended with convictions on 108 counts. The FBI case agent called CAIR a front organization. But CAIR ignores all of this, with Awad choosing instead to attack the messenger:
“It appears that Congressman Wolf is seeking payback for all the times CAIR and American Muslims have challenged his political positions using their constitutionally-protected right to petition elected representatives. It is unfortunate that Wolf has abused his office to pressure a government agency to target those he obviously views as political opponents. Public office should be used to serve the people, not to pursue personal vendettas.”
This is classic CAIR. Read Wolf’s letter back to the FBI here. He asks a series of questions about a policy the FBI has acknowledged. There is absolutely no pejorative reference about CAIR or any of its officials. Since when is a member of Congress’ attempt to learn about a policy decision a personal vendetta?

There is a lot of good information in this one, I highly recommend it.
