CAIR press release via the Investigative Project:
Any question about the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ (CAIR) attitude toward law enforcement in terrorism investigations has been put to rest by the group’s San Francisco chapter.
“Build a Wall of Resistance,” a poster announcing a Feb. 9 event published on the group’s website says, “Don’t Talk to the FBI.”
A dark, sinister FBI agent is shown lurking in front of people’s homes as doors slam shut.
It’s in response to an FBI investigation in Minneapolis and Chicago involving possible support for two designated terrorist groups, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). A series of raids Sept. 24 targeted the homes of activists in both cities. They claim the investigation is an attempt by Eric Holder’s Justice Department to silence anti-war dissent.
“This type of investigation is a tool to repress our movements for social justice and divide our communities,” the announcement of the event said.
But that assessment is based solely on the word of those targeted. So far, no official information about the ongoing investigation or the probable cause that led a federal judge to authorize the searches has been released.
In response, however, supporters of those targeted have protested outside of courthouses and federal offices in several cities. The next one is scheduled for Jan. 25 in Chicago and elsewhere, corresponding to compelled grand jury appearances by several people. A website, stopfbi.net, posts articles and updates on the case.
CAIR’s Chicago Executive Director Ahmed Rehab called the investigation “a waste of taxpayer dollars.” His chapter issued a statement denouncing the September raids. “The FBI has overstepped its bounds in targeting individuals based on their commitment to peacefully challenge US policies in Palestine and Columbia,” it said. The Justice Department should call off the investigation and return what was taken in the searches.
Update:
- CAIR worries about “misinterpretation” of the offensive poster. (Wonder how they will wiggle themselves out of this one…… Fibbi Hooper knows nothing about it….“We’re used to this kind of attack by the Islamophobic hate machine…”)
