Once again, in an effort to legitimize their oppression by their so-called religion, Muslim women are ecstatic non-Muslim women are wearing masks during the Corona virus crisis. In an article recently published by the “Conversation” website, Muslim women across the UK and United States were interviewed regarding masks. “There’s a marked difference to the way I’m being perceived. Nobody is giving me dirty looks because of my gloves and the covered face,” said a woman I’ll call Afrah, from the the U.K., in a Facebook Messenger chat. “Everyone suddenly understands it!”
The article goes on to say how non-Muslim women are now seeking out typical Muslim garb, as fashion statements to protect against the corona virus. What non-Muslim women don’t get is Muslim women are forced to wear niqabs, burqas, and other oppressive face coverings as their obeyance to their god, as a form of modesty. While Muslim women like to say they wear it for that reason, if they are true Muslims, they conform to Sharia law,the Quran, and the Hadiths, all which demands they cover themselves .
“OProphet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies. That will be better, that they should be known so as not to be annoyed.”
Quran 33:59
The Council on America Islamic Relations (CAIR) Jamal Badawi, also a known member of the Muslim Brotherhood, who is viewed as a ‘moderate’ scholar, insists that the hijab is “a command of Allah to Muslim women” and it should be “the duty of the state” to enforce it.
In 2017, al-Azhar university in Egypt, the home of many Muslim Brotherhood scholars, decreed that the veil was compulsory for Muslim women… and not even open for debate: “It is not acceptable that anyone from the public or non-specialized people, regardless of their culture, to voice their opinions on the matter.” Can anyone seriously claim that the leading Sunni institution in the world doesn’t understand Islam?
While American women like to think they are the bastions of feminism, and freedom to wear what they want, complimenting and duplicating the Muslim look is re-enforcing, and legitimizing oppression. Non Muslim woman need to think twice before donning veils, under the guise of preventing a disease from spreading, but rather educate themselves as to why Muslim women must wear them. Aiding in the injustices against Muslim women is never a good thing.
As in suspected Islamophobic or Anti-Semitic hate crimes? According to Tennessee’s Attorney General, yes.
It started with a 2013 event in Manchester, Tennessee, sponsored by the TN American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) called “Understanding the American Muslim Community.”
Shortly before the event, Obama-appointed U.S. Attorney Bill Killian was quoted – “We need to educate people about Muslims and their civil rights, and as long as we’re here, they’re going to be protected,” U.S. attorney Bill Killian told the Tullahoma News last week. “This is also to inform the public about what federal laws are in effect and what the consequences are.”
“Hateful statements directed at another will be used as evidence in a hate crime…”
It’s a back door way to punish what groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations), subjectively label hate speech.
CAIR, a creation of the Muslim Brotherhood and which serves as a front organization for HAMAS, has helped fuel an industry of censoring protected First Amendment speech using subjectively defined “Islamophobia.”
And there was AMAC in 2013, pushing CAIR’s agenda with the help of the DOJ.
A 2019 Tennessee Attorney General Opinion in connection with the year’s HB600/SB1250, a bill based on Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, requiring colleges to use a specific definition of anti-Semitism, agrees with what the U.S. Attorney said in connection with the 2013 AMAC event in Manchester:
But the Supreme Court has also recognized that protected expression may be relevant evidence in evaluating whether an individual has engaged in prohibited conduct. In Wisconsin v. Mitchell, for example, a unanimous Court made clear that the “First Amendment . . . does not prohibit the evidentiary use of speech to establish the elements of a crime or to prove motive or intent.” 508 U.S. 476, 489 (1993); see also R.A.V., 505 U.S. at 389 (noting that some speech “can be swept up incidentally within the reach of a statute directed at conduct rather than speech”). Similarly, courts have repeatedly recognized that state officials are permitted to examine protected expression when enforcing Title VI and other anti-discrimination laws and policies, particularly for the purpose of evaluating motive or intent.
Title VI is part of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination based on race, color or national origin in programs or actives which receive federal financial assistance.
Islamists in Tennessee have long been seeking avenues to codify the myth of Islamophobia in Tennessee law and this bill may well serve their purpose.
They tried it in 2018, when an earlier version of HB600/SB1250 was pending but was ultimately never passed. During that legislative session, Islamist activists, some associated with AMAC, met with Speaker Beth Harwell and told her “that they want a bill that would protect students who are bullied because of their religion. Islamist activists in Tennessee connect bullying in school to Islamophobia which they claim leads to being regularly victimized or bullied because of their religion.”
Fast forward to the 2020 Tennessee state legislature is in session and the same scenario is being played out.
Don’t be surprised when Islamists tell legislators supporting HB600/SB1250, that what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Are your legislators paying attention?
It is wise to watch who the Islamists in America politically support, as they strive to find the weak link that will allow their agenda to prevail. Congratulations Bernie Sanders, you seem to fit the bill. While Bernie is a socialist/communist, Muslims claim he fully supports their beliefs, which will enable them to push forward their laws rather than American ones. Bernie will be nothing but the political pawn that they need to effectively change America.
The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) aka Hamas, has fully supported, and now endorses Bernie Sanders as he is the only one to “elevate the Muslim community”. Why does a “religion” need to be elevated? If you understand Islam, it’s simple. Muslims believe Islam shall reign supreme over all other religions.
As this website has dissected many times, the Muslim Brotherhood’s manifesto titled the “Strategic Goal for the Group In North America”, clearly states the following:
This excerpt is from a document that was placed into evidence in this country’s first and largest terrorism funding trial in Dallas TX in 2008, called the Holy Land Foundation Trial. It is the plan for the eventual, internal takeover of the United States. According to Bernie’s website, his goals are similar to Islamists.. economic, racial, social and environmental justice for all.
One of his biggest supporters is terrorist loving Linda Sarsour. Linda Sarsour, a self proclaimed Muslim activist who has called for jihad against President Trump, is one of Bernie’s staunch supporters due in part to his stance on Palestine and Israel. Sarsour rubs shoulders with anti-American, pro Hamas, Muslims like Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. She also has inserted herself in movements that have caused chaos and deep division in communities across the country such as the Ferguson riots,which led to the birth of Black lives Matter. Linda Sarsour has no allegiance to the United States, instead rallies for those she claims are disenfranchised and marginalized, and hold a disdain for everyday Americans.
Muslims that claim to love America, also support socialist/communist Bernie Sanders, despite his radical ideas to fundamentally change the U.S as we know it. Social justice activist and Nashville Tennessee’s first Muslim Council member Zulfat Suara, who constantly claims America has been so good to her and her family, jumped on the Bernie wagon and is his campaign co-chair. It is Muslims like Ms. Suara that attach themselves to whoever will help advance their agenda.
We should not be surprised by Tennessee Muslims supporting a socialist/communist though. Behind their public personas, they hate America just as much as Bernie does. Last year as Zulfat Suara was running her pro “I love America” metro council campaign, she also professed her admiration and inspiration of America haters Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.
Muslims may say they love America, but they never condemn those that lead their communities that publicly announce their disdain for it.
Bernie Sanders platform is all about open borders, free everything for everyone, and the radical disruption of the criminal justice system, all of which fits the Islamic agenda to a T. For Muslims, Open borders allows the non-stop migration of Muslims, to fulfill their population demands, free everything equates to redistribution of wealth, and reforming criminal justice is the freeing of those defined as “marginalized” by the current system.
If Bernie Sanders were to become president of the United States, the escalation of Islamic law over American law would be astounding, and congress will be filled with terrorists. The very dream Islamists have had is to see the flag of jihad on top of our White House. We must not let that dream come true.
On December 26 2019, Tennessee Gov Bill Lee appointed former State Senator and candidate for Gov, Mae Beavers to a position on the states Parole Board. On the same day, The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) aka Hamas, vowed to “monitor” her every move to ensure there is no bias, particularly against the Muslim community.
This isn’t the first time CAIR has stuck its terrorist loving nose into Tennessee business, in 2018 Mae Beavers was running for Gov, and had planned a National Security event which included speakers Dr. Bill Warner, John Guandolo, and myself, Cathy Hinners. This event was to be held at Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville TN, Mrs. Beavers former college which also has deep family roots. Trevecca canceled the event after CAIR/Hamas made a complaint to the President of Trevecca, Dan Boone, who caved immediately.
Although Tennessee is not home to a formal CAIR/Hamas chapter, its sister organization the American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) is embedded deeply. AMAC, despite its “bridge building” façade, has brought CAIR to TN on many occasions, and uses its interfaith and social justice involvement as a guise for peace and love. Beware Tennesseans, AMAC is not about forging relationships with the Muslim community but has infiltrated its way into even the Gov’s office.
What has not helped, not only did former Gov Bill Haslam legitimize AMAC, so has Gov Bill Lee, who reportedly met with members of AMAC on two occasions, the last being 10 days after he was sworn in. So now that CAIR/Hamas has strongly opposed the Mae Beavers appointment, will Gov Bill Lee succumb to the pressure, and remove Mae Beavers from her newly appointed post?
AMAC January 2019 meeting with Bill Lee
We hope not, and we ask Gov Lee to not be intimidated, or pressured into changing his mind. Our message to CAIR and AMAC should be strong and swift. We Tennesseans do not welcome, or want CAIR/ Hamas or AMAC to have any say in anything occurring in our state.
Tennesseans believe in Mae Beavers, who will conduct herself as she always has, professionally and with Tennesseans best interest in mind, but will the relationship Bill Lee has forged with AMAC be stronger?
For those unfamiliar with the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the following one minute and thirty seven second video sums it all up.
So why should Tennesseans care?
Do not be fooled by CAIR’s public promotion of being a Muslim civil rights organization, they are nothing more than a front group for a terrorist organization whose goal is the Islamization of society.
On July 5th, Ahmed Shqeirat, an imam from the Islamic Community of Tempe Arizona, came to Memphis TN to ask for support in helping fight “Islamophobia”.Ahmad Shqeirat is one of the 6 imams involved with the Flying Imamsincident at the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport on November 20, 2006.
In an articleabout Shqeirat it was reported “I was struck by the political nature of his sermons. He repeatedly criticized both U.S. domestic and foreign policy and often exaggerated Muslim victimization. He advocated political unification of Muslims internationally and blamed the United States, Israel, and the West for perceived slights. He called for the political empowerment of Muslims in American society.
On camera, Shqeirat invokes his desire for a global Islamic state, which he claims “is not a threat to anybody…. Establishing Islamic law was a positive experience.”
On Friday, April 6, 2007 Shqeirat attended a rally in support Rafil Dhafir, who is currently serving 22 years in federal prison for raising millions of dollars and funneling it to “charities” in Iraq through the Holy Land Foundation in addition to diverting $300,000 for his private use.
Shqeirat is executive secretary of the North American IMAMS Federation, which is tightly linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.
While CAIR has remained in the background of many incidents here in Tennessee, the groundwork for them has been laid by the American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC), who unfortunately was legitimized and supported by the Haslam administration. AMAC, who claims to be a bridge builder uses “religion” as a guise to infiltrate all areas of local politics,education, and law enforcement. Members of AMAC, continue to promote CAIRS agenda by running for various political positions, and lobbying for open borders, and rights for illegals.
Because AMAC has made itself appear like a moderate, Muslim organization, run by pious individuals, their ability to gain sympathy and support throughout Tennessee has grown. AMAC undoubtedly will use their influence to introduce CAIR as their partner and ally against what they falsely claim as islmophobia in Tennessee.
CAIR has vowed to have over 100 Muslim “groomed” to be able to run for political offices on all levels in 2020. With AMAC being an ally of CAIR, it isn’t hard to understand why member of AMAC Zulfat Suara is running for an at large seat on the Nashville Metro Council. Suara, who is Nigerian born, recently made statements her religion was under attack, a typical move by Muslims who claim Islamophobia is rampant in Tennessee. While riding on her new found sympathy, once again Suara showed her true colors for the United States, by repeatedly holding the American flag upside down while attending a fourth of July event.
It isn’t about being part of America, accepting the laws, and assimilating, its all about the power to influence and effect change. What groups like AMAC can’t accomplish with sympathy, CAIR will accomplish with law suits.
Keep in mind, CAIR’s ultimate goal is that of Hamas’..the Islamization of society. If they can take the “Buckle of the Bible Belt”, the rest of the country will fall easy.
The paper’s “faith reporter” Holly Meyer wrote Suara’s sob story about her hurt feelings to gin up a sympathy vote as she tries to win an at-large seat on the Metro Nashville Council.
L to R: Kasar Abdullah, Zulfat Suara, unknown
Suara says she’s received hurtful comments because she is a Muslim even though she hasn’t made her religion part of her campaign. That is, except for the part where she wants everyone to know that if she wins one of the three at-large council seats, she’ll be the first Muslim in Tennessee elected to a political office.
Suara claims that she’s running for the Metro Council because she just wants to give back to the city and the country that’s given her so much.
What Suara conceals behind the “I want to give back to the city” dribble, is that she stands the best chance of winning a seat on the Council only if she runs at-large instead of running for her District 22 seat. Sheri Weiner who currently represents Suara’s Council district, is termed-out so she is running for one of the three at-large seats up for grabs.
Only three candidates are running for the District 22 seat where Suara lives. Suara lives in a district where she owns a newly constructed house valued at over a half million dollars.
But Suara has opted to be one of 15 candidates trying to win one of three at-large seats – why?
Because Suara knows that running at-large is the only way she can get the refugee, immigrant and other extreme leftist voters who either don’t live in her district or not enough of them live in her district.
Demographic information taken from the 2017 American Community Survey for Suara’s district shows 5.87% are foreign born residents with almost 6% of the district population not being able to vote because they aren’t citizens. That is, until Suara and her ilk push voting rights for non-citizens and illegals in local elections.
She’s counting on the “My Muslim Vote” campaign to help her win.
L to R: Drost Kokoy, Zulfat Suara, Sabina Mohyuddin, Salah Sbenaty, Imam Bahloul
“My Muslim Vote” started as a national Muslim voter registration initiative organized by grassroots Muslim organizations to reach and register thousands of Muslim voters.
Joining with groups like MPower Change and CAIR, a HAMAS front organization, Suara and her crew of far left radicals brought the “My Muslim Vote” to Tennessee.
Vocal anti-Semite Linda Sarsour was a principal founder of MPower Change. In 2016, under Suara’s leadership, AMAC brought Sarsour to Tennessee and featured her and AMAC’s anti-Semitic board member Drost Kokoye, in a program on “intersectionality.”
Two years later, MPower Change named Suara as the “Muslim Policy Advocate of the Year.”
For Suara, Muslim-centric goals have only ever been the focus and will remain her focus if elected to the Metro Council.
Suara whines to the reporter that she’s being attacked for her religion even though she didn’t make her religion part of her political platform – “Suara, a Nigerian immigrant who chooses to wear a head covering because of her faith, did not not make her religion part of her platform because she believes in the separation of church and state.”
Suara’s claim to the “separation of church and state” is misleading and deceptive. Islamic religious doctrine, which she says is why she covers her head, is the same doctrine which dictates that Islam must dominate non-Muslims and forces us to submit to all their demands just as it is prescribed in the Quran. Suara wants freedom to practice her religion but have the restrictions also apply to everyone. It’s like this: kosher for Jews means THEY don’t eat pork; halal for Muslims means NOBODY eats pork.
Translation: to protect the rights of Muslims to practice their religion means depriving non-Muslims of rights such as freedom of speech.
Remember the Islamist outrage over the drawing of Mohammed contest? Closer to home, Awadh Binhazim, the former volunteer Muslim chaplain at Vanderbilt and a prolific proselytizer of Islam (dawah), was part of a 2006 panel at the Vanderbilt First Amendment Center discussing the Mohammed cartoons. At that time he was also listed as an adjunct professor of Islam at the Vanderbilt Divinity School. Binhazim was quoted as stating that “all Muslims” view the publication of the cartoons as a “provocation.” It was reported that he openly supported suppressing speech and that Muslims “do not share the value of free speech as it is recognized here”; a statement consistent with Islamic blasphemy laws and actions by Islamic organizations in the U.S. and Europe, to criminalize speech that Muslims find offensive.
The freedoms that Suara has here as opposed to her native Nigeria, are ones that she has worked tirelessly to abridge while leading the American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC).
Under Suara’s leadership, AMAC, working with CAIR, a HAMAS front organization. succeeded in bullying Trevecca University into canceling a Homeland Security Summit featuring John Guandolo, Cathy Hinners and Bill Warner.
In fact, under Suara’s leadership AMAC has effectively become CAIR’s Tennessee state chapter. Don’t be surprised if in the not too distant future we see a former AMAC board member recently graduated with a law degree, be hired to formally head up a CAIR-TN office. Surely there is room in the Conexion Americas Casa Azafran building, the site that functions as the headquarters for the TIRRC-AMAC-ACO groupees.
The Tennessean’s boo-hoo piece only casually mentions Suara’s leadership of AMAC during which time she attached herself and AMAC to Linda Sarsour, one of the most vocal Islamist anti-Semites. Nor did Suara ever take steps to address AMAC board member Drost Kokoye’s repeated tweeting of anti-Semitic slander and Jew-hatred activism.
Instead, Suara drooled over Jew-hating Islamists Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib – “Blessed to have met you both and honored to be inspired by you. Thank you for your courage to serve and in doing so inspire many. This Congress is truly inspirational and there are many young girls out there that because of you and the other ‘first’ are thinking why not!”
Forget Suara’s religion – really, who even cares. Look at who Suara collaborates with and who inspires her. That’s what should concern voters in Davidson County.
AMAC’s goals and tactics for achieving the goals of political Islam is the same as CAIR’s. Neither can be distinguished from the other.
In 2011, when AMAC was launched, four it’s board members also established AMAC’s lobbying arm, the American Center for Outreach (ACO). The four AMAC board members also served as the officers and board for the ACO.
Their first act of political push-back was to bring CAIR’s lawyer Gadeir Abbas to the capitol to oppose the material support anti-terrorism bill.
From the beginning, the AMAC-ACO duo as organizations and as individual members, have been partnering with CAIR undeterred by the fact that CAIR, a creation of the Muslim Brotherhood, serves as a front organization for HAMAS. Nor is there any concern that CAIR pushes a virulent anti-Israel agenda. Nor have AMAC-ACO members been concerned about CAIR’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and to “Islamic extremism and terrorism.”
Former CAIR state directors have either help lead the AMAC-ACO group, partnered with its members, or been brought to Tennessee to train Muslim teenagers into political Islam activism.
AMAC-ACO CAIR-linked activism is being executed in Tennessee via seemingly unobjectionable motives such as “preventing discrimination and bullying”, “countering prejudice”, “correcting misinformation”, “supplementing school curriculum”, dawa (proselytizing Islam) by providing “cultural” presentations especially to school and church groups, interfaith dialogue, and promoting religious freedom. All result in silencing any and all critical analysis of political Islam’s true intentions for the kafirs of Tennessee.
In lockstep with CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood plan, AMAC-ACO works to insinuate Islamic values and customs in a gradual, yet comprehensive manner to displace our Judeo-Christian foundation.
For all intents and purposes, CAIR is HAMAS
CAIR was started with money from the Holy Land Foundation Islamic charity and was planned to be a public relations and recruiting arm in the U.S. for the terrorist group “HAMAS” (an acronym for “Islamic Resistance Movement”).
This document was entered into evidence and authenticated during the the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) trial, the biggest and most successful terrorism financing prosecution in the U.S. Five HLF leaders were convicted for providing material support in the form of $12 million dollars, to help the terrorist group HAMAS eliminate the State of Israel.
In 1997, the U.S. designated HAMAS as a foreign terrorist organization.
CAIR was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the HLF trial. In 2009, a federal judge ruled that CAIR’s status as an unindicted co-conspirator would stand since the government had extensive evidence tying CAIR to HAMAS.
The ADL website confirms CAIR’s Muslim Brotherhood and HAMAS ties. It also cites CAIR among the Top 10 Anti-Israel groups in the U.S.:
“CAIR also continues to offer a platform to conspiratorial Israel-bashers and outright anti-Semites. For example, CAIR’s Florida chapter operates a Web site that makes anti-Semitic material available for visitors interested in learning about Islam. CAIR also organizes anti-Israel rallies during which protestors and speakers engage in anti-Semitic rhetoric, use offensive Holocaust imagery likening Jews and Israelis to Nazis, and express support for terror groups.”
In Tennessee, for example, in 2013, under the ACO umbrella, CAIR- Michigan director Dawud Walid was brought in to train Muslim high school students in political Islam activism. Dawud Walid has declared CAIR’s role as being “defenders of the Palestinian struggle.” While he downplays the terrorist group al-Shabaab as a group “that’s been involved in a lot of fighting,” he reminds his audiences that Jews “incurred the wrath of Allah.”
Zulfat Suara an AMAC co-founder and chair until just recently, has publicly declared her idol worship for CAIR endorsers Ilhan Omar, a former CAIR-Minnesota advisory board member and Rashida Tlaib. Both Omar and Tlaib assist CAIR in fundraising. Suara has not condemned either Omar or Tlaib’s anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism.
A Sampling of the AMAC-ACO-CAIR partnership in Tennessee
2011 – ACO brings CAIR lawyer to speak against the material support anti-terrorism bill brought after the jihad committed by Memphian and Muslim convert Carlos Bledsoe.
2012 – ACO director who helped organize AMAC, attends CAIR banquet and begins relationship with virulent Jew hater Linda Sarsour. Four years later, AMAC features Sarsour at an event on intersectionality.
2012 – AMAC co-founder and co-chair Daoud Abudiab collaborates with former CAIR-Austin director Awadh Binhazim (he’s the former Vanderbilt volunteer chaplain who admitted publicly that Islam requires death to gays).
2012 – CAIR co-founder and Executive Director Nihad Awad, public supporter of HAMAS, attends opening of the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro.
2012 – AMAC member Kasar Abdullah and CAIR Legal Director, invited by MTSU’s Muslim Student Association to present together about “Combatting Islamophobia.”
2013 – AMAC organizer Remziya Suleyman, is a featured speaker at CAIR-Arizona event.
2014 – CAIR tries to help AMAC-ACO members shut down Knoxville presentation on political Islam by Dr. Bill Warner.
2014 – Following CAIR’s lead, AMAC co-founder and Board member Drost Kokoye leads anti-Israel pro-HAMAS rally at Legislative Plaza.
2014 – Former CAIR-Houston Director, Paul Iesa Galloway is hired to lead ACO and assist AMAC.
2016 – Former AMAC co-chair Daoud Abudiab attends first conference of the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO) co-founded by CAIR and other Muslim Brotherhood front groups.
Daoud Abudiab of Columbia, TN attends USCMO. He is former AMAC founder and co-chair; now exec. dir of Faith & Culture Center in TN
2016 – AMAC and CAIR jointly call for hate crime investigation in Murfreesboro alleged road rage incident.
2018 – CAIR “working with our allies here on the ground in Nashville, AMAC,” bullies Trevecca University into canceling an event (afraid the truth would get out???) featuring John Guandolo, Cathy Hinners and Bill Warner.
2019 – AMAC co-founder Zulfat Suara who has led AMAC since 2012, recently resigned in order to run for an at-large seat on the Davidson County City Council. If elected, CAIR will have a proxy embedded in the Metro Nashville government.
It’s no surprise that Samar Ali is picking up the threads of her father’s anti-Jew agenda by helping anti-Semite embracer Zulfat Suara, get elected to the Metro Nashville City Council.
Tennessee Star’s political editor Steve Gill says “Samar Ali is a superstar.”
A lawsuit filed in 2008, against CAIR by patriot lawyers from the American Freedom Law Center was settled today to the benefit of five Muslim victims of a massive fraud perpetrated by CAIR:
“The lawsuit began after CAIR hired for its Virginia offices a fake lawyer, Morris Days, who defrauded dozens if not hundreds of CAIR clients. Once the fraud began to unravel, CAIR engaged in a massive cover-up, closing down the Virginia offices, firing the lawyer, and claiming to the CAIR victims that Days was not actually a CAIR lawyer. As alleged, CAIR knew of this fraud and purposefully conspired with Days to keep the CAIR clients from discovering that their legal matters were being mishandled or not handled at all.”
This should settle the question of whether anything CAIR says or does is credible. The moral of this lawsuit – don’t believe a word CAIR says. This Muslim Brotherhood/HAMAS front group has one goal for the U.S. – civilization jihad, and it looks like they will do or say anything in pursuit of the Islamist agenda. Don’t ever forget that CAIR is a named unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial, the largest and most successful terrorism financing prosecution in U.S. history.
CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator because of its connectedness to HAMAS, a U.S. designated terrorist organization.
Prior to co-founding CAIR, executive director, Nihad Awad was the President of the Isalmic Association for Palestine (IAP), an organization named by the Muslim Brotherhood in their 1991 Strategic Plan for North America, as one of their organizations. Documentary evidence supports that the Islamic Association for Palestine was the HAMAS propaganda arm in the U.S. So it’s no great surprise that Nihad Awad has publicly stated his unequivocal support for HAMAS.
In 2009 when CAIR tried to get its unindicted co-conspirator status removed, a federal judge ruled that “ample evidence exists tying CAIR to HAMAS.”
CAIR has repeatedly tried to exert its influence in Tennessee to either stifle our First Amendment right to free speech or to collaborate with its allies like the TN American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC).
In 2011, Kurdish refugee agitator Remziya Suleyman, working for the TN Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC), brought one of CAIR’s lead attorneys, Gadeir Abbas to the Tennessee capitol to speak against the material support anti-terrorism bill. Suleyman was later instrumental in helping to get AMAC and its sister group ACO (American Center for Outreach), organized.
The Tennessee legislature was trying to expand the criminal code on terrorism after Memphis jihadi Carlos Bledsoe, aka, Abdulhakim Mohammed, the first African-American born citizen to commit a successful terrorist act on U.S. soil, had murdered Pvt. Andrew Long at the Little Rock Army Recruiting Center.
In 2012, CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad, a public supporter of HAMAS, a U.S. designated terrorist organization, showed up for the opening of the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro.
In 2013, Suleyman brought Michigan CAIR director Dawud Walid to Nashville to train Muslim high school students to be political activists.
In 2014, CAIR tried to shut down a Knoxville ACT for America event using the local high school auditorium which organizers had reserved for after school hours. The program featured Tennessee’s Bill Warner speaking about political Islam and the encroachment of sharia law in America. CAIR successfully pressured the Knoxville school district to cancel the use of its facility for the program.
Attorney Bill Becker, president of Freedom X, sued and three weeks later the school district settled and CAIR lost.
During the 2018, Tennessee gubernatorial primary season, CAIR “working with our allies here on the ground in Nashville, AMAC,” using its typical name-calling, bullied weak-kneeded Trevecca University into canceling Mae Beaver’s event featuring John Guandolo, Bill Warner and Cathy Hinners. No doubt CAIR was afraid of what the trio would expose about the Islamist political agenda.
Back to the current lawsuit….
After the lower court in the CAIR fraud suit ruled that the trial would go forward, Robert Muise, co-founder and senior counsel of the American Freedom Law Center that sued CAIR nailed the real reason CAIR works overtime to shut down any fact-based, truthful discussion about political Islam, the Muslim Brotherhood and the advance of sharia law in the U.S:
“This ruling sets the stage for a trial CAIR simply cannot afford. We fully expect CAIR to play the victim as a Muslim civil rights organization. But once that door is opened, we will present expert testimony that CAIR is in reality not a civil rights organization but rather a Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas front group committed to, what it terms, ‘Civilization Jihad.’ Given CAIR’s pedigree and mission, it is no wonder that the organization was prepared to deal corruptly with its own Muslim clients in an attempt to cover-up a massive fraud made possible by its own attorney and staff.”
AMAC is CAIR’s ally and boots on the ground in Tennessee. AMAC’s leader since 2012, Zulfat Suara, recently stepped down from that role to run for an at-large Metro Nashville Council seat. It’s safe to assume that if elected, CAIR will have its very own proxy embedded in the Metro Nashville government.
Saleh Sbenaty, who helped establish AMAC is now serving as its leader. At the time of CAIR’s visit to the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro, Sbenaty was serving in a leadership role at the mosque.
The Republicans Tennessee voters put in the U.S. House of Representatives prefer to stay mute when it comes to Islamists in their midst. We’re not even sure they know anything about these folks or for that matter, that they care to know anything about them.
First there was the matter of Ilhan Omar’s repeated public expressions of anti-Semitism and the resolution that came from it, which all representatives from Tennessee voted FOR even though it never mentioned Omar, diminished the focus on anti-Semitism and legitimized the myth of Islamophobia.
Twenty-three other Republicans had the guts to vote against it.
Rep. Lee Zeldin, a Republican from New York, has not hesitated to call out Ilhan Omar’s anti-Semitism and the “watered down” and “spineless” anti-hate resolution. Any of Tennessee’s delegation step up to support their Republican colleague?
Nope.
Now comes Imam Omar Suleiman giving the opening prayer on the House floor last week.
And these Tennessee House members – Tim Burchett, Scott DeJarlais, Chuck Fleischmann, David Kustoff, Phil Roe, John Rose remained mute about Pelosi agreeing to a pro-Sharia, Jew-basher to pray over them.
What are they afraid of? Being called Islamophobic? Racist? Jew-lovers?
Two days after the Imam praying, only Mark Green had a comment including a dig at the Democrats’ lack of support for Israel and the anti-Semitism running through the party.
House Republican (Jewish) colleague Zeldin rebuked Pelosi for having Imam Suleiman offer prayer in Congress:
“Totally unacceptable that @SpeakerPelosi had Omar Suleiman give the opening prayer yesterday in the House,” he tweeted Friday morning. “He compares Israel to the Nazis & calls them terrorists, supports Muslim Brotherhood, incites violence calling for a Palestinian intifada & the end of zionism, etc. Bad call.”
For starters, why are all but one of our Tennessee House members silent about this Imam who has described Zionists as “enemies of God” or his anti-Semitic tropes like “Israel controls American foreign policy”???
Maybe our legislators need to review the U.S. State Department definition of anti-Semitism which covers all of Suleiman’s statements about Jews.
What about Suleiman’s support for the HAMAS-led rocket and mortar attacks against Israeli civilians which he posted on his facebook page – “God willing on this blessed night as the 3rd Intifada begins, the beginning of the end of Zionism is here. May Allah help us overcome this monster, protect the innocent of the world, and accept the murdered as martyrs.”
Three years later Suleiman put his anti-Jew enmity into action protesting President Trump’s moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem at a rally organized by American Muslims for Palestine (AMP).
AMP is the organization that trains and supports the rabid Jew and Israel-hating campus group Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), often referred to as “HAMAS on campus.” SJP is responsible for threatening Jewish and pro-Israel students, shutting down pro-Israel speakers, and pushing Israel boycott resolutions. Leaders of AMP are tied to the “defunct network called the ‘Palestine Committee’. It was created by the Muslim Brotherhood to advance Hamas’ agenda politically and financially in the United States.”
AMP is a member of the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR) run by the former director of Samar Ali father’s D.C. organization. Tablet Magazine has exposed a troubling money relationship between USCPR and U.S. designated foreign terrorist organizations.
While Tennessee’s six Republican House members have remained silent about the Jew-hating Omar Suleiman, their colleague Ilhan Omar (whom the six and Green rewarded with a resolution in her favor), tweeted out her praise for his prayer.
You may want to ask your Tennessee Congressman….
During the August recess or any of the town halls representatives are holding when they are home, make sure they know that Tennessee’s American Muslim Advisory Council’s (AMAC) leadership embraces Jew-haters Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.
Explain to them that anti-Zionism is the most dangerous form of anti-Semitism at this time. It is the veneer endangering Jewish and Christian pro-Israel students on college campuses. Radical Islamists like Linda Sarsour, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib normalize Jew-hatred by claiming it is politically legitimate to criticize Israel’s government and be against Zionism, the movement that helped to establish the State of Israel.
Like Ilhan Omar, Linda Sarsour and Rashida Tlaib, Imam Suleiman openly supports the Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel. Delegitimizing the State of Israel and denying its right to exist is at the core of the BDS movement.
As Steve Emerson correctly reminds us – “[d]enying Israel’s right to exist has been part of the U.S. State Department definition of anti-Semitism since 2010.”
Remind Tennessee House members that AMAC brought Linda Sarsour and her hatred of all things Jewish and Israel, to Tennessee. Sarsour is a supporter of Louis Farrakhan who calls Jews “termites” and says “Hitler was a very great man.”
In fact, it was a Kurdish refugee agitator living in Nashville who had helped get AMAC organized and who in 2012, cemented a relationship with Sarsour at a CAIR event. A federal judge has held that “ample evidence” shows CAIR is connected to HAMAS. In 1994, CAIR’s national director Nihad Awad publicly declared his support for HAMAS .
Nihad Awad has made it a point of spending time in Tennessee with members of AMAC and imams.

Remind the Tennessee House members that Ilhan Omar served as an advisory board member to the Minneapolis CAIR chapter and now as a member of Congress, helps fundraise for them. In the recent rocket attacks on Israeli civilians, she tweeted out her support for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists and HAMAS.
Green is a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security and its Subcommittee on Intelligence and Counterterrorism and still another Subcommittee on National Security.
Here’s information about Imam Suleiman and his buddy Yasir Qadhi (who recently left Memphis), that Green can take back to his Subcommittee on Intelligence and Counterterrorism.
Yasir Qadhi who recently left his position as resident scholar at the Memphis Islamic Center.
Qadhi is also leaving the Al Maghrib Institute which schooled the Christmas Day bomber and convicted terrorist Daniel Maldonado. Qadhi helped establish Al Maghrib and also served as an instructor. At an earlier time Al Maghrib’s media arm sold recordings by al Qaeda’s cleric Anwar al-Awalaki.
More recenlty, it was disclosed in the aftermath of the Sri Lanka suicide bombings, that Qadhi is among twenty-six Islamic clerics being watched by India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA). Qadhi was also named in a charge sheet in a case against ISIS suspects, as among the “14 globally recognized preachers, based in the US, the UK, Canada, Australia and Zimbabwe, whose lectures/sermons directly or indirectly influenced the terror suspects.”
According to the NIA, clerics on the list are “Islamic preachers who regularly give provocative lectures on religious fundamentalism, hand out jihadi literature, belittle other religions in their speeches and encourage young Muslims to propagate the Sharia law.”
A youtube recording of Qadhi’s comments in which he calls Christians “filthy” polytheists whose “life and prosperity … holds no value in the state of Jihad,” has been viewed over 41,000 times.
The Investigative Project on Terrorism has an extensive report on Qadhi who, “has also called for Islamic theocracy to replace democracy, and expressed blind hatred against non-Muslims.”
Qadhi also has an extensive resume of embracing Islamists accused of terrorist acts, terrorist-funding organizations, Muslim Brotherhood leaders and their organizations. He has posted his belief that ISIS is some kind of a conspiracy theory. And instead of continuing to deny the Holocaust, Qadhi has opted to embrace radical Jew-haters like Linda Sarsour and British cleric Haitham al-Haddad who said, “Jews who are the enemies of God and the descendants of apes and pigs.”
In 2011, at Ravenwood High School in Brentwood TN, a young Muslim girl, Demin Zawity, created a stir due to her not being able to wear her hijab while participating in the ROTC program. “It was during Spirit Week. We were getting ready for the homecoming parade and the head officer said that I wouldn’t be able to wear the head scarf while I had the uniform on,” Demin said.
“I said that it was a religious thing and that I really couldn’t take it off.”
Demin’s family believed she was being discriminated against, and reached out to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which called on the school district and the Department of Defense to change the policy.
CAIR later wrote to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta requesting “constitutionally-protected religious accommodations for the girl and for future Muslim JROTC participants.”
In a letter CAIR sent on Panetta’s behalf, then Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army Larry Stubblefield explained that based on the incident that led Zawity to quit JROTC, the Army will now be making more accommodations for religious headwear in the training program.
There you have it. A Muslim complains she is being discriminated against, they call CAIR/Hamas, and change is made, all due to Ms. Zawity claiming it was a “religious thing”.
It’s all about change. Altering policies to accommodate Muslims. The below picture is Demin Zawity in 2011 when she was claiming discrimination
In 2016, 2017, 2018, and even in 2019, Ms. Zawity apparently no longer feels that “religious thing” means the same after the United States Military made changes to their head gear policy.

It is amazing how that “religious thing” lasted long enough for the United States Military to change its policy.
