CAIR calls on Obama to issue a pardon for convicted terror financiers

Some news first:

Australia’s ABC/SBS tells us that Fort Lauderdale mass-killer Esteban Santiago was an ‘Iraq veteran with psychological problems’--“gun violence” to blame….

“Brother of airport shooting suspect says U.S. government failed him,” Chicago Tribune, (it looks as if the federal government failed not Estaban Santiago, but the people in the Fort Lauderdale Airport, and the citizens of the United States.)

Massive tanker bomb rips through market in rebel-held Syrian town of Azaz, killing 48 near Turkish border 

Twitterati:

Saudis (and other Arab nations)  donated millions to Shrillary in her campaign, they directly tried to influence the election. Why no uproar?

Intel community says Putin tried to influence the election. US may charge him with espionage & impersonating a New York Times editor.

Esteban Santiago was investigated for child-porn – no wonder he had an affinity for ISIS 

Number of charities linked to terrorism soars to record high after trebling in three years, warns watchdog 

In Islam, ‘charity’ means jihad finance.

  • There were 234 allegations of links between charities and terrorism in 2013/14
  • But this figure has now almost trebled and currently stands at 630 
  • Four inquiries were opened last year because of these allegations

Mr Shawcross, the commission’s chairman, warned of the gravity of the threat currently faced by charities.

CAIR Leader Tweets Support of Convicted Terror Financiers
A petition calls for outgoing President Barack Obama to issue a pardon for those convicted in the largest terror financing trial in American history.

If America’s Muslim POTUS does that, it would make him complicit.

A petition calling for President Barack Obama to use his powers of clemency to secure an early release for terror financiers is circulating online. It gained the support of Imran Siddique, the executive-director of the Arizona chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

CAIR is designated as a terrorist organization itself, by the United Arab Emirates, as it is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Siddique tweeted a link to the petition, which gained 136 retweets (at press time). He also described the trial as a “political lynching.”

The trial was the largest terrorism financing trial in American history. Five senior executives of the Holy Land Foundation, at the time the largest Muslim charity in the United States, were convicted of funneling millions of dollars to Hamas in 2008. An earlier trial in 2007 was declared a mistrial, and an appellate court upheld the sentences in 2011.

CAIR itself was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator at the Holy Land Foundation trial, a designation which was upheld by a judge despite a legal appeal launched by CAIR to have it removed. Read more about the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR).

Clarion Project has an archive of the documents from the Holy Land Foundation trial.

So why does this matter?

Simply put, it shows a CAIR official was completely unwilling to acknowledge the reality that the Holy Land Foundation was closed down for involvement in terrorism. Instead he plainly intends to keep fighting and rejecting the sentence. One does not need to support Hamas to support the Palestinian cause, or send money to terrorist organizations to provide humanitarian relief to civilians. There are many organizations that provide support to civilians trapped in combat zones around the world who do not provide money to terrorist groups.

When CAIR tries to present itself as a moderate group that opposes terrorism, remember that one of their leaders called for convicted terror financiers to be pardoned and described the largest terror financing trial in American history as a “politically motivated lynching.”

  1. Fox News Analyst and Clinton Operative, Douglas E. Schoen, Accepted Millions of Dollars to Agitate for War with Russia

    SEPTEMBER 9, 2016 BY MIKE CERNOVICH

    In a remarkable conflict-of-interest, Fox News analyst and former Clinton operative Douglas E. Schoen has failed to disclosed to readers that he’s been paid millions of dollars from Ukrainian agents to incite a war between the United States and Russia. Before inciting war with Russia, Schoen worked for Bill Clinton and brokered meeting (for $40,000 a month) between then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and billionaire oligarchs.
