Hamas-CAIR Wants Maryland County Councilman John Grasso Fired for Facebook Posts That Offend Them

13

Anne Arundel County Councilman John Grasso is the target of the Council on American Islamic Relations’ latest media blitz.

CAIR wants John Grasso fired for Facebook posts that offend them. These are posts in which Grasso questions the wisdom of bringing in hundreds of thousands of Syrians, teaching Islam in public schools, and pointing out that Allah is not Yahweh.

With the media’s assistance, CAIR’s Zainab Chaudry is telling us that Muslims are now concerned for their safety.

Chaudry goes on to accuse Grasso of saying that Muslims are responsible for 9/11, Islam is responsible for 9/11, Muslims do not belong in our country, and Islam does not belong in our schools.

This is contrary to previous reports, which said that Grasso supported local Muslims, was not against Muslim immigration, but does not want Islam taught in public schools.

“I see a person until proven different” – John Grasso

When asked if he would take down the Facebook post, he said:

“No. Because I believe in freedom of speech, and people have the right to say what they are going to say.”

However, today, Grasso has chosen to take down the posts and apologize to the Anne Arundel County Muslim Council.

The Anne Arundel County Muslim Council is explicitly political and plugged into the Muslim Brotherhood network.

The AACMC’s home page describes its mission statement as:

“The AACMC goal is to empower the Muslims with requisite skills and knowledge to participate politically and socially in their communities and provide support and guidance to their peers. Our Mission Statement includes but not limited to:

  1. Educating American Muslim in community relations and Interfaith dialogue.
  2. Role of American Muslim in correcting current misconceptions about Islam especially the role of women in its practices.
  3. American Muslim can promote the well-being of Muslim community and increase their participation in civic affairs which needed now more than ever.
  4. Making non-Muslim in America understand the reasons for social practices by Muslim women such as hijaab, niqaab, blind obedience for Allah (SWT) Commands.
  5. Enabling American Muslims to take care of their needy and aged relatives in non-Muslim communities through expanded social services

We the American Muslim need a forum for the effective enjoyment of the civic and political rights, it is hereby resolved to establish on a countrywide basis League of American Muslim to intensify their participation in all of our nation building activities.” http://aacmc.org/index.html

Guidestar says that the IRS automatically revoked Anne Arundel County Muslim Council’s tax-exempt status  for failure to file a Form 990, 990-EZ, 990-N, or 990-PF for 3 consecutive years.

“This organization has not appeared on the IRS Business Master File in a number of months. It may have merged with another organization or ceased operations.

Further investigation and due diligence are warranted. This organization is not registered with the IRS.”

The links page of the AACMC’s website shows them linking to the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA).

Anne Arundel County Muslim Council also links to Dar us Salaam, “the largest Islamic Project in America.” This sprawling 66 acre complex has predictably murky financing.

Dar us Salaam publishes “The Muslim Link.” It was here that AACMC’s president Rudwan Abu-rumman said, in the 4/12/2013 edition of “The Muslim Link”:

“Muslims need to be constantly involved in the political arena” (page 5)

Also shown on the AACMC’s links page is the Islamic Society of Baltimore.

The ISB is a piece of work. ISB leaders have amassed a record of support for Islamic jihad causes over the years:

“ . . . including endorsing the Chechen jihad and Palestinian suicide bombings. Its former imam was active in a charity later linked to terror financing including Hamas, the Taliban, and for providing “hundreds of thousands of dollars” to Osama bin Laden.”

Mohammad Adam el-Sheikh, who served two stints as ISB’s imam, from 1983 to 1989 and from 1994 to 2003, was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood in Sudan in the 1970s. He also co-founded the Muslim American Society . . .”

“While in Baltimore, el-Sheikh served as a regional director for the Islamic American Relief Agency. That group’s parent organization is the Islamic African Relief Agency, which the Treasury Department says provided funds to Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda, Hamas and other terrorist organizations.”

The AACMC also links to the Montgomery County Muslim Council, whose mission is:

“Primary: To maximize Muslim participation and political influence in Montgomery County and in Maryland.

Secondary: To establish MCMC as the key political voice of Muslims in Montgomery County”

Strategic Objectives

  • Mobilize Muslim community in the county to maximize political participation
  • Significantly impact outcome of elections
  • Obtain support for our agenda from elected officials and candidates
  • Promote election and appointment of Muslims in the county and in Maryland
  • Have MCMC recognized as key political voice of Muslims in the county
  • Transplant the MCMC model elsewhere within the country

So CAIR has managed to get John Grasso to apologize to a network of highly political Muslim organizations. CAIR’s access and influence in our society has reached a simply scandalous level.

Nationwide, CAIR is on TV almost every day.

They were on the news 35 times in April this year, 26 times in May, 10 times in June, then 29 times in July, 28 times in August, 27 times in September, and as of this date, October 4, CAIR has received favorable coverage on the news 9 times, 6 of which were devoted to attacking John Grasso.

John Grasso is not apologizing for offending a religion. He is apologizing for getting in the way of a political agenda. The  broadcast news media and CAIR are very much a part of this agenda. Call the station to complain when you see CAIR on your local newscast.

It is the very least you can do to save this country.

I really wish we had an attorney general that cared more about our country and the rule of law over his perverted honor to PROTECT THE IMAGE of the DOJ and FBI. Sessions stands with the DOJ and the FBI no matter how egregious their actions and lack of actions are. If he had true honor, he would have unrecssed himself ages ago and would DO HIS JOB.

This brainwashing of Islam is working…… and bamboozling too many people.
CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood need to be investigated and people prosecuted.

This type of situation (aka “crap”) is not within the purview of the DOJ. Blame little jeffy for all that you desire, but he cannot be blamed for this.

CAIR and the muslim brotherhood are both terror organizations. Why hasn’t our government done anything about them in our country?

Here’s the deal … It ain’t the Cu Clux Cair. It ain’t the moslem brotherhood. It’s moslems (the vilest of ALL creatures). Take away those two groups (Cu Clux Cair and the mohametan brotherhood) and you STILL have moslems. They need EXTRA taxpayer provided support for “Enabling American Muslims to take care of their needy and aged relatives in non-Muslim communities through expanded social services …”
We moved back to “the big island”, in order to care for my aged mother. When my wife and I could no longer provide the proper care for her, my brother and I wrote out checks, in excess of nine thousand dollars per month, for close to a decade.
Where were OUR “expanded social services”? If they cannot provide for their “aged relatives” for native born Americans …. why should my taxes pay for theirs? Personally, I am not one for Title Act 19 paying for extended care facilities for ANYONE. But, that’s a subject for a different time and place.

There is a bill:
S.68 – Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2017 that would designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.. It has been referred to committee and that’s where it sits…and sits…

We should probably start bringing more attention to this on social media.. It will cause heartburn for some members of Congress, but if this bill gets passed (maybe after we gain more seats in Congress) we will then be able to tie CAIR to the MB…

I hope both organizations are BANNED. Of course, the SPLC would never do so, they are too aligned in their interests in demonizing and attacking conservatives in this country.

What worries me about this article is that it is telling me that all of these Islamic organizations here in America are outwardly moving not to protect Muslims from bigotry, but to actively involve themselves in our political system (which is their way of moving our government to adopt Islamic control that is contrary to our Constitution), while simultaneously constantly claiming that free speech is insulting to them. I am sick and tired of the “political INcorrectness” that has become the rule of conduct of our leaders, rather then the exception. Based on the historical facts, we know that Islam requires 100% allegiance to its belief system, which intends, and already has accomplished the creation of theocratic governing, something totally contrary to our Constitutional rights. I am mortified if the councilman in the article removed the truthful remarks that he made because the Muslim community was “insulted.” That is especially the case where what was said about Islam being responsible for 9-11, etc., were all true. We must stop this nonsense of back stepping whenever the Muslim community claims they are being insulted, especially by the truth. We need to raise our voices constantly and stop being “politically incorrect.”

Yes, publicly making what might be taken as a negative remark about Islam, Islamism or any Muslim will bring the wrath of both the left (Democrats) and Islamic organizations down on your head ! If you have spoken the truth do not back down, do not apologize or engage in endless arguments, better to add facts about what was said and / or state a new fact about what is going on with Islamic groups !

There is no excuse for what is being allowed to happen in our country what is needed is a crack down with an iron fist to back it up , if something is lacking in our laws to accomplish this then make a law that will covers it . Allowing this creeping crud in the USA is insane , and is like committing suicide to stand by and do nothing which appears to be what is being done now , fire must be fought with an ever hotter fire .

They’re “concerned for their safety”… Ah, the oft used phrase.. which is supposed to elicit guilt, a rush to ensure the ‘poor, deprived’ muslims that we care…

Knock it off… We have your number.. You’re the threat, you make us concerned for our safety..

The local government had better back this man .. If they will teach Islam in school, then we should teach real religions in schools, not a 7th century culture that is masquerading as a religion…

Mr. John Grasso, I am VERY disappointed that you would apologize to a TERRORIST organization that is connected to the muslembrotherhood.
You ARE CORRECT that you have the RIGHT to FREE SPEECH in America. We are not ameriKa. I nor millions of other Americans want to live under communist rule, and certainly NOT under muslem communist rule.
