AFDI/SIOA Calls on Oregon College to Reinstate Teacher, Repudiate Islamic Supremacist Hate Group CAIR

NEW YORK, Dec. 7, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — The human rights group Stop Islamization of America (SIOA), a program of the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), today called on Lane Community College of Eugene, Oregon to reinstate Professor Barry Sommer and his class on Islam. Lane fired Sommer and dropped his course after pressure from the Hamas-linked Islamic supremacist hate group the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). SIOA further calls on Lane Community College to repudiate CAIR and institute mandatory counter-jihad sensitivity training for all students, faculty and employees.

"An Islamic supremacist hate group like CAIR must not be allowed to intimidate our nation's educational institutions and dictate how young Americans are to be informed about the Islamic jihad threat," said Pamela Geller, executive director of AFDI/SIOA.

Hamas-linked CAIR succeeded in getting Sommer fired and his course dropped after smearing the counter-jihad civil defense group Act for America as an "anti-Muslim hate group." Sommer is the president of Act for America's Oregon chapter.

In reality, CAIR is the hate group, with numerous ties to jihad terror. Lane Community College should accordingly reinstate Sommer and his course and issue a public apology for bowing to CAIR's demands.

Recently U.S. District Judge Jorge A. Solis cited "ample evidence" that CAIR participated in a "criminal conspiracy" led by the Holy Land Foundation, Hamas's main fund-raising arm in the U.S. CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror funding case.

The FBI has discontinued all contact with CAIR because of its terror ties.

CAIR has previously attempted to intimidate numerous government agencies and citizens' groups into dropping events featuring foes of international jihad activity, including SIOA's Executive Director Pamela Geller and associate director Robert Spencer, Act for America's Brigitte Gabriel, and others. In the summer of 2010 it has embarked upon a concerted campaign of intimidation and defamation to silence public figures who speak out against jihad and Islamic terrorism, including Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY), the Rev. Franklin Graham, Florida Congressional candidate Dan Fanelli, and Connecticut Congressional candidate Rick Torres.

CAIR has a long record of duplicity and deception. Although it has received millions of dollars in donations from foreign Islamic entities, it has not registered as a foreign agent as required by the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), despite spreading Islamic supremacist propaganda within the United States.

Although it presents itself as a civil rights group, CAIR actually has numerous links to Islamic supremacist and jihad terror groups. CAIR founders Omar Ahmad and Niwad Awad (who still serves as CAIR's executive director) were present at a Hamas planning meeting in Philadelphia in 1993 where they and other Hamas operatives conspired to raise funds for Hamas and to promote jihad in the Middle East. CAIR has steadfastly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups.

Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror: 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 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.

In 1998 Omar Ahmad, CAIR's co-founder and longtime Board Chairman, said: "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth." After he received unwelcome publicity as a result of this statement, Ahmad denied saying it, several years after the fact. However, the original reporter, Lisa Gardiner of the Fremont Argus, stands by her story.

CAIR's spokesman Ibrahim Hooper once said: "I wouldn't want to create the impression that I wouldn't like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future." SIOA calls on all free citizens to contact Lane Community College, asking politely that they repudiate CAIR and reinstate Sommer: Mary Spilde, President Lane Community College 4000 East 30th Ave Eugene, OR 97405 541-463-3000 [email protected] Tracy Simms, Executive Assistant to the President, (541) 463-5889 Joan Aschim, Public Information Officer, (541) 463-5591 AFDI/SIOA is one of America's foremost organizations defending human rights, religious liberty, and the freedom of speech against Islamic supremacist intimidation and attempts to bring elements of Sharia to the United States.

You know, I’m noticing the silence of the “free speech” activists who would immediately jump to the defense of an Islamist had he been fired for advocating suicide bombings.

Obviously, those running Lane Community College of Eugene SHOULDN’T be. So, contact the Alumni Association and EVERYONE who donates money to those clowns. The people who hold the purse strings can control what goes on there. They probably don’t want their college guided by agents of a foreign power.

“I wouldn’t want to create the impression that I wouldn’t like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future.” – Two negatives equal a positive = I would like the government of the U.S. to be Islamic…. Hiding the true motives of this evil group in plain sight.
