In this broadcast segment entitled “Sacramento faith-based leaders concerned rift remains after deal for ceasefire in Gaza,” Steve Large introduces Basim Elkarra, the executive director of the Sacramento chapter of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). He then immediately shows a picture of a little girl in Gaza who is supposedly related to Elkarra. But we are never told what CAIR is, or anything about them. Previously on KXTV, Elkarra said that he had never met his relatives in Gaza.
At the end of the interview portion, Elkarra says that the Gaza war has changed the country. Well, yes, that is the plan.
He was part of the Abandon Biden campaign, which later became the Abandon Harris campaign. Elkarra heads the National Muslim Democratic Council, which sent Biden a letter saying:
We pledge to mobilize Muslim, Arab, and allied voters to withhold endorsement, support, or votes for any candidate who did not advocate for a ceasefire and endorsed the Israeli offensive against the Palestinian people.
The Abandon Biden/Abandon Harris campaign was started by Jaylani Hussein, the current Executive Director for CAIR’s Minnesota chapter. And they are not done.
Here is what the Abandon Harris website says now:
As the letter from Black Muslim American leaders so powerfully stated, “The war on Gaza is a war on Islam.” The Muslim-American community—a diverse body of people from all ethnicities and races—has decided: we will not stand down.
We tell you what we told your murderous, complicit Vice President when she berated anti-genocide protesters at her rally: your words will not placate us, your fear tactics will not shake us, and your condescending tone does not intimidate us.
This fight is far from over. If anything, the last year was just the beginning. The outcome does not change our path. We will continue organizing, mobilizing, and building within our community. We have achieved this much with only a year of effort—imagine what we can accomplish with two, four, or ten years. We will put in the work, and we will leave the results to Allah.
There are those within our own ranks who attempted to mislead our community, rallying votes for Kamala Harris to protect their self-interests. For decades, these thieves and scoundrels have posed as representatives of our community. In truth, they represent nothing but their own greed. Let us take note of who they are, and remember.
Today marks the beginning of a new era—one where the Muslim-American community ensures the victims of U.S. imperialism are no longer faceless, voiceless, nameless. For the past 25 years, we were led to believe that staying quiet and keeping our heads down would keep us safe.
The tragic attacks of 9/11 happened. We condemned it, yet we were not spared. The illegal invasion of Iraq happened. We stayed silent, yet we were not left alone. The region was destabilized, a vacuum opened, and chaos was unleashed on our people. And still, the world pointed to us and demanded that we condemn the violence inflicted upon us.
It is time for the Muslim-American community to rise and reclaim its dignity, its integrity, its humanity. And in doing so, we hope every other minority community in the United States will see our example, draw their own red lines, leverage their votes, and stand for their dignity and humanity.
Neither Jaylani Hussein nor Basim Elkarra organized to deny the Democrats the White House in 2024 in order to help America, but to help Gaza, which is to say, Hamas.

In the wake of the Hamas atrocities of October 7, 2023, CAIR was on TV in the last three weeks of October 2023 over 160 times, and never condemned Hamas or the attacks. Remember, this was before Israel even retaliated.
In fact, the man who runs CAIR, Nihad Awad, is on video saying the October 7 invasion made him “happy.”
This was so bad that even the White House issued a statement: “White House Disavows U.S. Islamic Group After Leader’s Oct. 7 Remarks,” by Peter Baker, New York Times, December 8, 2023:
[T]he White House listed the council among several independent organizations in a document discussing commitments to fight antisemitism. The White House removed CAIR’s name from that online document on Thursday after Mr. Awad’s remarks to make clear it was distancing itself from the organization.”
In the wake of the October 7 atrocities, thousands and thousands of people marched in the street in support of Hamas. This was part of a campaign to upstage what happened on October 7 and replace it with bogus narratives about starving Palestinians, freezing Palestinians, and genocide, and to bend American public policy to the will of Hamas.
There have been many TV newscasts following a formulaic pattern of showing “both sides.” First, the reporter talks to Jewish people: rabbis, members of Jewish civic organizations, and relatives of the hostages taken by Hamas on October 7. Then immediately, the reporter will pivot to a spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
But these two things are not equivalent. Just as there are not two sides to the Holocaust, 9/11, or the New Orleans New Year’s Eve attack, October 7 is inexcusable. However, CAIR has never disavowed the October 7 atrocities, and has instead given support to Hamas on TV hundreds of times.
There are thousands of supporters of a psychotic, sadistic, murderous terror organization in this country, and their numbers are growing deliberately.
Here is former CAIR-Missouri, and later CAIR-Texas executive director Faizan Syed heading up a charity in partnership with CAIR that will pay for the education of students who…
had financial difficulties or lost scholarships due to their “advocacy” for Palestine. Specifically, to help students who lost scholarships because of their involvement in anti-Israel protests or activism.
That would be pro-Hamas students.
“We can use that money to invest in our students and our kids, who are going to become the change makers of tomorrow,” he said. “To train those Muslims of our community and our background, who are going to go into these fields, go into these positions of power and break the hold that Zionists hold on this country. It is a systematic approach. It is a long-term approach. But once it has been started there is no way to stop it.”
He goes on to say:
“Let’s get our kids in political science, government, media, journalism, and other fields, and over time replace the people in power. Replace the people in the news. Replace the people at universities. That is my intention. That is the goal that we are gonna take.”
Here is another example: Elkarra saying that he is going to use CAIR’s 501 c3 status to teach AIPAC a lesson.
There will be a profound change in the country during the Trump administration. The ceasefire deal suggests that just as when he took the side of ISIS against Pamela Geller during his 2016 campaign, Trump is now willing to find common cause with Hamas and its legions of supporters in America. We still hope this will not turn out to be true.
The revolution will be televised.

Yes. Islam and its Muslims are at war with all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran. In short, Islam is a MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. More specifically, Islam is a Muslim Terrorist Ideology and Criminal Organization of discrimination, segregation, supremacy, genocide, polygamy, deceit, hatred, incitement, sedition, rape, terrorism, and violence against all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran. Basically, Islam is a Terrorist Criminal Enterprise. Thus, the Truth about Islam and its terrorism, its WAR, its discrimination, and its violence against all Non-Muslims must be taught and broadcast to the general public to prohibit Islam, its Mosques, and its Schools. Furthermore, there is NO EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW in Islam or in Islamic Law.
Non-Muslims CANNOT have peace with Islam and its Muslims because Islam and its murderous god, Allah, demand a continuous, Muslim war against unbelievers where Non-Muslims are CRIMINALS under Islam as Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” HENCE, NON-MUSLIMS MUST MAKE ISLAM, ITS MOSQUES, ITS SCHOOLS, ITS ORGANIZATIONS, ETC. ILLEGAL UNDER THE LAW. Similarly, Islam and its many Organizations must be identified and declared to be a MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION for their funding, teaching, and support of terrorism, violence, and discrimination against Non-Muslims.
Allah in Islam demands SURRENDER which means ‘to Surrender, whether voluntarily or not, by becoming a Muslim’ while Submission, ‘to Submit’, is a voluntary act to follow the authority or control of another. Allah in Quran 49:14 says, “’The Bedouins said, ‘We believed.’ Say,’You did not believe. But say, ‘We surrender (became Muslim as a result of fear).’ And the faith has not entered your hearts. And if you obey Allah and his messenger, he will not decrease anything from your works. Surely Allah is forgiving, merciful.’”
Islam promotes a terroristic, Muslim war against unbelievers when Allah in Qur’an 49:15 says, “Surely the believers are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed JIHAD with THEIR MONEY AND THEIR LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.”
࿗Infidel࿘ says
What Hamas is somewhat implicitly saying is that the October 7th attacks were an islamic attack on the Jews at that concert
In that sense, they happen to be right
somehistory says
mozlums are conducting a war world-wide to force their evil onto everyone else. If an infidel refuses islam, mozlums feel the lusty duty to murder that one.
Israel has ‘refused’ to become mozlums. Christians, Jews and others around the world, have refused.
mozlums are waging war on Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and all others who are not molzum..
. even other mozlums are fair game for killing if the murderers see them as less devout.
So, yes, Israel has taken the attack as a “war” to end the Jews and their way of life. mozlums, such as this creep, see that self-defense as unfair.. ..and fighting., a.k.a. war.
rick says
Israel’s war on Hamas in Gaza is a war against savagery. Against the practice of gang raping Jewish women. Against killing every Jew the Gazans could find. Against destroying Jewish communities and homes. Against Jewish people being able to enjoying Life. Against Hamas trying to bring the 7th Century to Israel. Against the return of Nazism. And for the State of Israel to continue to survive and thrive.
rick says
This is rick. A terrible typo in my comment which I would like to either delete or correct.
This is the comment: Against Jewish people being able to enjoying Life.
This is the correction: Against those who deny the Jewish people being able to enjoying Life.
I apologize for my horrible lack of proper proof reading.
somehistory says
Rick, we all do that at times. Some of us, often. Not to worry.
The problem sometimes, is because we ‘proofread’ our own writing while not looking closely at every word, we see what we thought we wrote.
Sick Of It says
Some deeply hope we get this thing on before some are to old.Some want to see if it will be what they think.Some know they will never loose a nights sleep dong what needs doing.Still can’t believe politicians brought this scourge to our lands.If anyone pays the steep price it will and should be them!!
The Istanbulian says
So he just admitted that islam is at war with everyone because they started this Gaza war:
skeptiker says
Ich stimme diesem Heini zu, dass der Kampf in Gaza ein Kampf gegen den Islam ist. Was sonst? Schließlich schreien die Terroristen dort Allahuakbar und nicht “Für Jesus” oder “Heil Buddah”. Wir aufgeklärten zivilisierten Menschen mögen euch nicht. Fahrt zur Hölle oder bleibt unter euch in eurem Islamistan.
