    Muslim Congressman defies warning, meets with Hamas-CAIR

    CAIR's cofounder and longtime Board chairman have made Islamic supremacist statements

    Muslim Congressman defies Congressional warning, meets with Hamas-linked CAIR

    By Editor Monday, September 21, 2009

    CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case -- so named by the Justice Department. CAIR operatives have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR's cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Honest Ibe Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements. But concern about such things is "ridiculous," says Ellison.

    "U.S. Rep. meets group accused of terror ties: Muslim congressman calls fears 'ridiculous,'" by Jim Walsh for The Arizona Republic, September 19 (thanks to Islam In Action):

    The only Muslim in Congress defied criticism from Arizona's congressional delegation and spoke Friday at a fundraiser for the local chapter of a national organization with suspected links to Hamas.

    U.S. Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., and U.S. Reps. Trent Franks and John Shadegg, both Arizona Republicans, wrote a letter urging Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., to shun the Arizona chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

    "We are deeply concerned that any official support of this organization would undermine the legitimate concerns of federal investigators about CAIR's relationship to foreign terrorist organizations," the letter said.

    But Ellison, a Muslim convert, came anyway and was applauded by about 300 people who attended a dinner at the Hilton Phoenix East/ Mesa. Ellison spoke about the fresh start in relations with Islamic countries under President Barack Obama's administration.

    "I would never associate myself with anyone even soft on terrorism," he said before the speech. "We all want to fight terror. We all want to live in a safe community."

    The fears Kyl, Franks and Shadegg expressed in the letter are "ridiculous," he said.

    If there is any truth to the allegations that CAIR supports the Palestinian terrorist organization, Ellison said, there should be arrests and prosecutions....
    Jasser and others say CAIR was labeled as a front group for Hamas by an FBI agent during last year's trial and conviction of five former organizers of the Holy Land Foundation, who were found guilty of funneling $12 million to Hamas.

    CAIR also was named an "unindicted co-conspirator" in the Holy Land trial.

    But Ahmad Daniels, executive director of CAIR's Arizona chapter, denied ties to Hamas or other terrorists.

    "In no way, shape or form is CAIR Arizona associated with Hamas," Daniels said. "We're not terrorists. We're freedom-loving Americans like everyone else."

    Note that he spoke only about CAIR Arizona. Not CAIR national.

    Daniels said CAIR's mission in Arizona is social justice. He also said he is involved in reaching out to other religions through interfaith organizations.

    He called CAIR's supposed links to Hamas "an old rumor" and said opponents should either produce evidence or drop it....

    The Justice Department named CAIR an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas funding case in 2007. That ain't an "old rumor."

    Oh sure.......they're freedom loving individuals just like everyone else.

    Just so long as they are the only ones free to practice their religion, sharia law, and jihad in order to frce the rest of the world to live under islam.

    As for this "unindicted co-conspirator" nonsense.......well, let's just how long that remains the case, shall we?
