Despite consistently revealing what it is really all about, the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) continues to enjoy mainstream acceptance, and even intelligence and law enforcement agencies consult it, assuming it is a “moderate” group. This revelation won’t change that, either.
“CAIR Leader Eulogizes Bin Laden’s ‘Spiritual Leader,’” by John Rossomando, Focus On Western Islamism, May 28, 2024:
It’s happened again. The leader of one of the premier pro-Hamas Islamist organizations in the United States has lionized an anti-American Islamist who, in addition to serving as the spiritual leader for the man responsible for 9/11, ordered the attack on the USS Cole, which killed 17 American sailors in 2000. It’s almost enough to make you think that Islamist leaders in the U.S. don’t like America or Americans very much.
Nihad Awad, founder and executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), eulogized a Muslim Brotherhood cleric whose al-Qaida ties put him on the United Nations Security Council’s list of specially designated terrorists. The U.S. Department of the Treasury likewise proscribed the late Sheikh Abdul-Majid al-Zindani for his connections with Osama bin Laden and Hamas fundraising.
On April 22, 2024, Awad eulogized al-Zindani in Arabic, saying: “We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return. The Islamic nation has lost one of its biggest emblems and men with the passing of Sheikh Alam and worker Abdul Majeed Al-Zindani after he dedicated his life to the service of the Quran and the manifestation of its miracles that never cease. He remained tall and firm in the face of challenges, tribulations, pressure, and rankings until he met the Almighty Allah. Our condolences to his family, Yemen, and our nation. We ask Allah, the Merciful, the Merciful and the Forgiving, to have mercy on him, forgive him and reward him with the best of rewards.”
Awad and CAIR national spokesman Ibrahim Hooper ignored a request for comment from Focus on Western Islamism (FWI) about Zindani’s designation as a terrorist and well-documented affiliations with jihadists who have killed U.S. citizens.
A 2013 U.S. Treasury Department press release reported that al-Zindani delivered religious fatwas on behalf of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), most notoriously known for having been led by U.S.-born jihadist leader Sheikh Anwar al-Awlaki.
The U.N. Security Council designation noted that “al-Zindani had a role in providing advice and views to Usama bin Laden (deceased) and others during the formation of Al-Qaida in the period 1993 to 1998.” According to that body, Al-Zindani “continued to provide support to Al-Qaida, in particular Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, including through his public statements and role as a highly influential Yemeni cleric.”
Individuals linked to the October 2000 USS Cole bombing alleged in published reports that al-Zindani ordered the al-Qaida attack on the American warship as it stood in the port of Aden, Yemen….

a wad….has no shame, and no fear that the public will catch on and begin to see what he and his group…unindicted co-conspirator that it is (that means a wad himself conspired to fund hamas , but was unindicted courtesy of his friend and fellow mozlum, bo) want to happen to American citizens who refuse to bow to his false god and fake prophet.
a wad feels he has the government….those *selected* to run roughshod over the rest of us…wrapped around his dirty finger.
One Day, Justice will be served on this supporter of terrorist ghouls.

Hamas-linked CAIR top dog eulogizes Osama bin Laden’s ‘spiritual leader’
……………………………………..
And yet, too many idiots consider CAIR to be a “civil rights group”.
PRCS says
‘Civil rights’ for the uncivilized.

The guy in the picture sort of looks like Robert de Niro!

He looks a lot like I imagine Quilp to look in the description by Charles Dickens. Very ugly, inside and out.
bagsgroove says
A really ugly wad
OLD GUY says
C.A.I.R. should be on the terrorist watch list. They continually support anti-American ideas and groups.

In a religion of terror, you rise to the rank of a ‘spiritual leader’ by slaughtering lots of innocents.
I mean it’s there plain as day. Before Oct 7, Muslims (Palis) were naming streets after terrorists like Sami Kunter the psychopath who smashed a little Jewish girl’s head with a rock.
Meanwhile day and night, you have these pro-Hamas sympathizers treating them as if they’re the noble good guys fighting for ‘freedom’ and Israel is the big bad wolf, on par with Nazi Germany.
Most of the Lefty non-Muslim useful idiots really have no clue what they’re defending. They think it’s a cool, hip trend to “fight for the oppressed” and they clearly did no research.
But just imagine these people had power and got their way. If Hamas ‘won’ they’d visit endless Oct 7’s not just on the Jews but the rest of us ‘filthy infidels.’
It’s us vs them, Islam the whole ideology must be eliminated off the face of the Earth. It’s caused far too much death and destruction over its 1400-year blood-drenched history. Sadly, so few people study history and this evil ideology. I guess we’re going to find out the hard way.
Islam really wouldn’t be that hard to ‘destroy’ either. We might need to go to war with their terrorist groups, but by simply outlawing Islam, most Muslims will flee western nations on their own or stop following it.
The trouble is that we lack leaders with the stones to do that, or they’re dismissed by the mainstream as ‘far right.’ It’s not a fringe idea to want to defend your freedom, civilization, equality and so forth and to defeat a death cult that wants to drag humanity back to the Dark Ages, force women to live in cloth tents and have severe punishments for things that are not crimes (like infidelity and blasphemy).
Hopefully the West wakes up before it’s too late as we already have far too many Muslims in our countries now.
