Andrew. J. Whitehead operates a website called Anti-CAIR. Many of you are familiar with it, but for those of you who are not, I urge you to click over and take a look. At the very beginning of the home page, Mr. Whitehead asserts: “We are a group of concerned Americans dedicated to eliminating the Islamist Terrorist Threat to the United States Constitution. We believe that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is a clear and present danger to our Constitution and our way of life. We will continue to expose CAIR’s involvement in supporting Islamic terrorists, terrorist sponsored organizations, and groups in the United States.
The site appears to have a very clear purpose, not only in the mission of Anti-CAIR, but also in it's process of informing Americans of the dangers that confront them by terrorist front organizations operating inside the United States. The principal manner of presenting this information to the American public is quotations that are attributed to CAIR staff members. So as I said, take a look and form your own conclusions.
Recently, however, Anti-CAIR has been sued by the Council on American-Islamic Relations, alleging libelous defamation, even in spite of the fact that democratic senators Dick Durbin (Illinois) and Chuck Schumer (New York) have both been quoted saying that “CAIR is unusual in its extreme rhetoric and its association with groups that are suspect,” and “We know [CAIR] has ties to terrorism.”
The banner of Anti-CAIR includes the following statement:
“Since its founding in 1994, CAIR and its employees have combined, conspired, and agreed with third parties, including, but not limited to, the Islamic Association for Palestine (“IAP”), the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (“HLF”), the Global Relief Foundation (“GRF”), and foreign nationals hostile to the interests of the United States, to provide material support to known terrorist organizations, to advance the Hamas agenda, and to propagate radical Islam. CAIR, and certain of its officers, directors, and employees, have acted in support of, and in furtherance of, this conspiracy.”I hope that the reader will be as interested in how this all turns out as I am. You can subscribe to the Anti-CAIR newsletter by visiting the site and entering your email address. It appears to me that some of our citizens ARE taking a stand, and that’s a good thing. I’m sure Mr. Whitehead would appreciate knowing that he is supported by his fellow Americans, and a subscription to his newsletter may be just the way to signal our support.
