Hamas-CAIR targets private citizens in Michigan

Exclusive: Pamela Geller warns of leftist lapdogs in media whitewashing terror ties

The American Freedom Law Center, or AFLC, announced Thursday that it is “representing seven private citizens who were issued harassing subpoenas by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) because they publicly expressed their opposition to the construction of an Islamic center in their neighborhood in Pittsfield Township, Michigan.”

This multi-million dollar Muslim Brotherhood machine is steamrolling over everyone and everything in its path. Now the thugs at Hamas-tied CAIR are harassing and bullying ordinary American citizens. Hamas-CAIR systematically destroys voices of freedom, while using its leftist lapdogs in the media and culture to whitewash its terror ties.

The media and entertainment elites have been doing the bidding of Hamas-CAIR. Just last week, CAIR founder Nihad Awad, who stated publicly in 1994 that he was a “supporter of the Hamas movement,” spoke at the premiere of the pro-jihad documentary called “Newburgh Sting” at the Tribeca Film Festival. The film is a propaganda piece about the four Muslims who were convicted of plotting to blow up synagogues in the Bronx and shoot down a military jet; they were sentenced to 25 years in prison.

CAIR’s record is clear: “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 a poster telling Muslims not to talk to the FBI. CAIR has opposed every anti-terror measure that has ever been proposed or implemented.”

Nonetheless, the CAIR annual banquet is being sponsored by ABC News 7, JP Morgan and other financial institutions. This is in line with an agenda that the U.S. government spelled out in a 2008 memorandum opposing a request from two Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations, the Islamic Society of North America, or ISNA, and the North American Islamic Trust, or NAIT, that the “unindicted co-conspirator” designation they received during the Hamas-funding trial of the Muslim charity the Holy Land Foundation be removed. (It wasn’t.)

The government memorandum explains that “shortly after Hamas was founded in 1987, as an outgrowth of the Muslim Brotherhood, Govt. Exh. 21-61, the International Muslim Brotherhood ordered the Muslim Brotherhood chapters throughout the world to create Palestine Committees, whose job it was to support Hamas with ‘media, money and men.’” To accomplish this, the Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S. created the U.S. Palestine Committee, which CAIR later joined. “The mandate of these organizations, per the International Muslim Brotherhood, was to support Hamas, and the HLF’s particular role was to raise money to support Hamas’s organizations inside the Palestinian territories.”

CAIR’s jihad millions buy media and men, and now it’s going after private citizens. It sends a message. It sends a message to every single American – that if you dare to oppose Islamic supremacism, you will be targeted, smeared, harassed and driven to bankruptcy through legal channels.

I am thrilled that our legal team, David Yerushalmi and Robert Muise of the AFLC, is going after these Muslim thugs and supremacists. Muise explained: “There is no doubt that CAIR – a Shariah-adherent Islamist group that notoriously uses the legal system to silence any opposition to its nefarious agenda – is abusing the discovery process to retaliate against and intimidate private citizens who dared to publicly express their opposition to the Islamic center. AFLC is quite familiar with CAIR’s bullying tactics, which is why it is important that we defend these private citizens’ constitutional rights.”

Yerushalmi added: “CAIR’s discovery demands plainly infringe upon precious First Amendment liberties and the paramount right of a private citizen to publicly express her opinions to elected representatives on matters that affect her and her community. On a broader level, CAIR’s decision to browbeat these ordinary Americans clearly shows the pervasiveness of Shariah-adherent Islam and its ‘civilizational jihad’ within our borders. Needless to say, if CAIR wishes to persecute Americans through the legal system, they’ll have to contend with us.”

This Islamic supremacist intimidation of decent Americans has to stop. Yet the left, when they’re not aiding and abetting this sinister agenda, stand by and appl
