Okay, now here's some good reads to check out on the Council of American Islamic Relations, one of the worst enemies of free speech, and which is one of the most dangerous funders of terrorism that's being allowed to run loose in the US. Read on and see.

If there's any phony organization that needs to be focused on now, it's CAIR. Because only if we concentrate on the bad things that they've been doing recently, will we be able to fight Islamic terrorism properly. CAIR may be a primary concern in this issue.

Update: According to this report on Front Page Magazine by Andrew Whitehead and Lee Kaplan, it seems they're very much involved with terror. And with one of their members, Ghassan Elashi, having been convicted recently of involvement in money laundering to finance terrorist groups, it's going to look all the more bad for them.

Elashi's conviction is bad news for CAIR. Its ties with Elashi are too deep and the evidence of CAIR's complicity too obvious for CAIR to spin. For example, just after the Islamic terrorist attacks of 9/11, the CAIR website contained a section entitled, "What you can do for the victims of the WTC and Pentagon attacks," which solicited contributions to the "NY/DC Emergency Relief Fund." The only problem was, this so-called "Relief Fund" never existed. The link provided by CAIR led the would-be contributor directly to the Holy Land Foundation website. The Holy Land Foundation, a government-designated terrorist front group, was also shut down by the U.S. government for funding terrorism overseas. The trial of its leadership is scheduled to begin next year.

And just who was the head of the Holy Land Foundation? Elashi.

Some of their representatives, such as Nihad Awad, who's from Jordan, have even said things that have further implicated them in being involved with - and certainly sympathizing - terrorist gangs such as the Hamas:

CAIR has consistently shown sympathy for overseas terrorist groups and their activities. In fact, CAIR’s actions led Senator Charles Shumer, D-NY, to declare, "We know [CAIR] has ties to terrorism." CAIR’s Jordanian-born Executive Director, Nihad Awad, has openly stated, "I am a supporter of the Hamas movement." Awad was also the former public relations director of the Islamic Association of Palestine (IAP), a known front group for Hamas. At a Washington, D.C., CAIR rally, CAIR spokesman Dr. Ghazi Khankan openly greeted attendees by saying, "I bring to you salaams and greetings from the Mujahadeen at CAIR!” (Mujahadeen are holy warriors such as those killing U.S. and Coalition soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.)

If that's how they're going to behave, then I'd say that's reason enough to close down their organization.
