AFDI asks WMATA not to cave in to pressure from Hamas-linked Muslim Brotherhood group CAIR

"Hate" speech is the vile incitement to genocide, Jew-hatred and jihad broadcast on Arab media (see MEMRI and PMW) and out of mosques, with Imams inciting to murder, ethnic cleansing and forced conversions.

Hamas-CAIR is urging its affiliated Muslim Brotherhood groups and fringe subversive organizations to besiege the WMATA with complaints, in order to exact some Islamic supremacist jizya or penalty for living in a free society. I urge you to contact the WMATA and voice your support for our anti-jihad ad campaign — WMATA contact form

AFDI asks WMATA not to cave in
to pressure from Hamas-linked Muslim Brotherhood group CAIR

The
Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is on a jihad against
free speech, trying
to obstruct our AFDI pro-Israel ad campaign in Washington, D.C. CAIR thugs
are calling in all their cards in the media and the beltway: the millions that
the Saudis have given to CAIR have been spread, and spread thick. Hamas-linked
CAIR has demonized America on official television of the bloody
Islamic Republic of Iran, so it is not surprising that it
would resort to tried and true Nazi-like tactics of repeating lies and
defamation about the defenders of America’s freedoms. Like Hitler and Goebbels,
Hamas-linked CAIR is trying to dehumanize its enemy and drive us completely out
of the public discourse.

We
won’t go.

Not
because of intimidation and lies from Hamas-linked CAIR. It is no accident that
Hamas-linked CAIR objects to the word “savage” being used of jihadis, when
Franklin Delano Roosevelt used it of Nazis. CAIR 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 (Ibrahim Hooper), have
made Islamic supremacist statements. Its California chapter distributed posters
telling Muslims not to talk to the FBI.

Hamas-linked
CAIR’s attempt to defame AFDI and dictate to New Yorkers what messages they can
and cannot see is consistent with its long record of pro-jihad duplicity,
deception and thuggery. One member of this unsavory gang has even previously called for these ads to be defaced.
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
hateful and violent Islamic supremacist and jihad 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 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.

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.”

Washington
deserves better. ACT NOW for FREEDOM:

1. Use the WMATA contact form to write to WMATA Board
   Chair Catherine Hudgins thanking her for affirming the freedom of speech by
   accepting the District Court’s order to allow the ads to run.
2. Also ask the WMATA asking them to protect the free
   speech rights of opponents of jihad violence and hatred by protecting the
   ads from being defaced.
3. If you see Hamas-linked CAIR thugs defacing or
   obstructing view of these ads, tweet us the location at @atlasshrugs, or
   email us at [email protected]
   • Go to the sites where
     CAIR’s hate cadres are leafleting and express your support for the ads.
   • Tweet a photo of your
     efforts for us to share.

If
you have other ideas, let us know. It’s time to organize and reclaim Washington
as a city that stands for freedom against lies and oppression.
