CAIR should know better than anyone who does fit the terrorist profile. Three of its own officials were recently convicted of terror-related crimes. One even worked for Hooper. He's now in prison for conspiring to kill Americans.

A lawsuit filed against CAIR by the family of former FBI official John P. O'Neill, who was killed on 9-11, charges that the group, which evolved from a known Hamas front, is "a key player in international terrorism."

Congress is investigating CAIR and has repeatedly invited its executive director to deny the mounting terror charges under oath. But Nihad Awad, a Palestinian American, refuses. If CAIR is not tied to terrorism, why not clear the air at a televised hearing?

Tellingly, CAIR after 9-11 refused to single out al-Qaida or
Osama bin Laden for condemnation. After the London bombings, it endorsed an anti-terror edict so broad it was meaningless -- and one that was loaded with qualifiers.

Instead of condemning attacks against British or American or Israeli non-Muslims, it hedged by denouncing "all acts of terrorism targeting civilians" and "innocent lives" -- leaving non-Muslims to wonder if they fall into those categories, knowing that jihadists don't necessarily consider them innocent or civilian.

(The vaguely worded edict was written by Hooper pal Taha Jaber al-Alwani, who happens to be an unindicted co-conspirator in the ongoing terror case against Sami al-Arian, the alleged U.S. leader of Palestinian Islamic Jihad.)

We wonder who and what CAIR, which calls itself a civil-rights defender, is really protecting when it fights targeted profiling at train stations and airports.

CAIR may talk a good patriotic and moderate game. But it has a secret agenda to Islamize America.

And ABC just gave CAIR a great leap forward toward that end. Why are Americans allowing them to get away with it?

Update: The post has been updated to provide links to the definition and use of the word [dhimmitude(also here)] in the first paragraph. Hat tip - "Art Linkletter" per below comments.

Maybe you meant "diminutude'? However that's not a word either.

No Art "Linkletter," I meant what I said. You might want to become a little better informed.

Dhimmitude:
http://www.dhimmitude.org/index.php

A common term coined by Baat Ye'or. It's now commonly used by most who follow the Islamists and their agenda. You'll find the likes of Robert Spencer using it often, and if you were a frequent Hyscience reader, you'd have seen it used numerous times before.

And by the way, in the future, you've a much better chance of not having your comment deleted if you use your real email address. We'll cut you some slack this time.

Two points:

1) I am a frequent reader, but I haven't seen that word before. I looked it up and didn't find it in the dictionary, neither the hardcover one or the on-line one. I appreciate the information. There are obviously many things about Islamists that I don't know.

2)I really have this e-mail address. I have my own e-mail server with about ten or twelve domains served on it. I use self-identifying e-mail for wherever I leave my address. It helps me track lamers and spam. Thanks for answering.

Art

Art's vindicated himself - I should continue linking the word "dhimmitude" a while longer until more have the opportunity to learn it.

Also, Art's email matter makes sense. I'm glad I didn't blacklist him. He seems quite a decent fellow.
