CAIR the unindicted co-conspirator in The Holy Land Foundation trial, is getting a little more exposure into its inner working than it bargained for:
Daniel Pipes, in the Jerusalem Post, writes:
Lion’s Den: CAIR’s inner workings exposed
By DANIEL PIPESThe Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has, since its founding in 1994, served as the Islamist movement in North America’s most high-profile, belligerent, manipulative, and aggressive agency.
From its headquarters in Washington, CAIR also sets the agenda and tone for the entire Wahhabi lobby.
Frankly, I have no doubt Ibraham Hooper and his dogs (legal beagles included!) will manage to put the fear of Allah and His Prophet (PBUH!) into quite a few of the mainstream media’s editors and TV execs to keep this quiet while they deal with Congress and thus have it all hashed up (no matter how money must change hands, whether directly or otherwise)… yet again! Yet, it is possible, this time they may to regroup under a new name.
A substantial body of criticism about CAIR exists, some of by me, but until now, the group’s smash-mouths and extremists have managed to survive all revelations about its record.
The publication today of Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That’s Conspiring to Islamize America (WND Books) may, however, change the equation.
Written by P. David Gaubatz and Paul Sperry, the investigation is based largely on the undercover work of Gaubatz’s son Chris who spent six months as an intern at CAIR’s DC headquarters in 2008. In that capacity, he acquired 12,000 pages of documentation and took 300 hours of video.
Chris Gaubatz’s information reveals much that the secretive CAIR wants hidden, including its strategy, finances, membership, and internal disputes, thereby exposing its shady and possibly illegal methods. As the book contains too much new information to summarize in small compass, I shall focus here on one dimension – the organization’s inner workings, where the data shows that CAIR’s claims amount to crude deceptions.
We have been saying all along that CAIR was a fraud, that none of their claims held up!
Claim 1: According to Ibrahim Hooper, the organization’s communications director, “CAIR has some 50,000 members.”
Fact: An internal memo prepared in June 2007 for a staff meeting reports that the organization had precisely 5,133 members, about one-tenth Hooper’s exaggerated number.
Claim 2: CAIR is a “grass-roots organization” that depends financially on its members.
Fact: According to an internal 2002 board meeting report, the organization received $33,000 in dues and $1,071,000 in donations. In other words, under 3 percent of its income derives from membership dues.
Claim 3: CAIR receives “no support from any overseas group or government.”
Fact: Gaubatz and Sperry report that 60 percent of CAIR’s income derives from two dozen donors, most of whom live outside the United States. Specifically: $978,000 from the ruler of Dubai in 2002 in exchange for controlling interest in its headquarters property on New Jersey Avenue, a $500,000 gift from Saudi prince al-Waleed bin Talal and $112,000 in 2007 from Saudi prince Abdullah bin Mosa’ad, at least $300,000 from the Saudi-based Organization of the Islamic Conference, $250,000 from the Islamic Development Bank, and at least $17,000 from the American office of the Saudi-based International Islamic Relief Organization.
Claim 4: CAIR is an independent, domestic human rights group “similar to a Muslim NAACP.”
Fact: In a desperate search for funding, CAIR has offered its services to forward the commercial interests of foreign firms. This came to light in the aftermath of Dubai Ports World’s failed effort to purchase six US harbors in 2006 due to security fears. In response, CAIR’s chairman traveled to Dubai and suggested to businessmen there: “Do not think about your contributions [to CAIR] as donations. Think about it from the perspective of rate of return. The investment of $50 million will give you billions of dollars in return for fifty years.”
COMBINING THESE four facts reveals a CAIR quite unlike its public image. Almost bereft of members and dues, it sustains itself by selling its services to the Saudi and United Arab Emirates governments by doing their ideological and financial bidding.
This in turn raises the obvious question: should CAIR not be required to register as a foreign agent, with the regulations, scrutiny, and lack of tax-deductible status that the designation implies? Data in Muslim Mafia certainly suggests so.
CAIR has for years circumvented the law, through its lies and bribes. Will they survive this time?
Looking further ahead, I expect CAIR’s days are numbered. It’s an institution that was founded by people with terrorist ties. Over the years, it has established a long record of untrustworthiness that includes doctoring a photograph, playing fast and loose with documentation of anti-Muslim hate crimes, and promoting suspect polling.
It has also intimidated critics via libel suits, and boasted of ties to a neo-Nazi. Eventually, close scrutiny of this outfit will likely lead to its demise.
That’s the good news. Less happy is my expectation that CAIR’s successor will be a more savvy, honest, respectable institution that continues its work of bringing Islamic law to the United States and Canada while avoiding the mistakes and apparent illegalities that render CAIR vulnerable.
In that sense, the fight to preserve the Constitution has just begun.
The writer (www.DanielPipes.org) is director of the Middle East Forum and Taube distinguished visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University.
Rep. Sue Myrick, R-N.C. tells us as in the video above t: “About a year ago I learned that CAIR was trying to infiltrate the offices of members of Congress by placing interns in the offices, but I could not substantiate the rumors because I had no documentation to that effect. Now, however, author Paul Sperry, and his co-author’s investigative team unearthed a 2007 memo written by CAIR which documents their stated intentions and goals to place interns in congressional offices supposedly for the purpose of influencing the policies of those members. Even more troubling, that the memo states that they are most interested in members who are serving on the judiciary, intelligence and homeland security committees.”
“Even more troubling, that the memo states that they are most interested in members who are serving on the judiciary, intelligence and homeland security committees.” Think about the implications, gentle reader!
CAIR may have been exposed, but… they have powerful friends. As unregistered agent for the Royal House of Saud, I have no doubt that former Secretary of State, James “F… the Jews” Baker (Chief Consigliere to the Royal House of Saud), will find an indirect, untraceable way of helping out his faithful boys and girls at CAIR.
Let’s not forget, that our illustrious President, the Divine Obamessiah, bowed down to current Saudi King – Abdullah (bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud). I have no doubt Abraham Hooper and company, if CAIR is closed down, will resurface – after laying low for a while – with new identities and more tricks up their sleeves. A dog often comes back after his vomit!
