The Chicago office of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Chicago) today called for the firing of Chicago Police Officer John Catanzara, leader of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 7, the city’s largest police union. CAIR’s call comes after anti-Muslim posts on social media surfaced via the Chicago Police Board following mention of ongoing investigation.
Chicago Tribune According to information from the Police Board made public late Thursday, several years ago, Catanzara posted offensive messages on Facebook.
One of Catanzara’s messages in 2016 disparaging Muslims read,
“Savages, they all deserve a bullet.”Another messaged a year earlier declared, “WTF its seriously time to kill these (expletives).”
Catanzara did not dispute writing any of the Facebook posts but said many of them were him defending himself on social media. He said he was upset by disturbing (Muslim terrorist) material he had seen on Facebook when he made the comments.
“The specific posts that were even mentioned in the complaint were some of the most egregious, violent stories that I made my own personal comments and observations on,” he said. “I have no doubt that the (police) department as a whole and their (FOP) membership will get that this is purely retaliatory nonsense, that this is not any credible complaint that even approaches any major discipline, let alone even minor to be quite honest with you.
In a statement, CAIR-Chicago Executive Director & Spokesjihadist Ahmed Rehab* said.
“Any officer who fails to understand and abide by the basic norms of human decency and respect for dignity, and who harbors prejudices and bigotry, has zero business enforcing laws on the rest of us, especially behind a badge and a gun, let alone in a leadership position. Catanzara’s behavior is a disgrace to the police force and the city, and anyone who stands by him and defends his actions is guilty of the same.
“We are highly disappointed in Superintendent Brown for playing ‘boys club’ with this straight-forward situation and not displaying the courage and integrity necessary to go with the firing recommendation of the chief administrator of the Civilian Office of Police Accountability and thus spare the city any further drama and loss of trust. We further note that this is not the first time that this is the case.
“The Chicago Muslim community is appalled and has its confidence severely shaken. We and our allies will be watching closely how the force, and the city deal with its bad apples.
*Acknowledging that his worldview has been shaped, in large measure, by the Muslim Brotherhood, Ahmed Rehab credits especially the group’s founder, Hassan al-Banna, as a “contemporary Muslim individual who influenced” him. See: Hassan al Banna‘s full-blown military and political alliance with Nazi Germany.

Speaking Directly To CAIR-Texas Founder Ghassan Elashi*”I think there is something disingenuous about the idea of a representative of CAIR saying, ‘We don’t know what this is about.’”… “During the Holyland Foundation trial, evidence was brought to bear that two of the founding members of CAIR – who were still in those positions at the time – were related to HAMAS organizers, and the question that was raised was, ‘Is CAIR going to be an appropriate liaison partner for the FBI if the two founding members who are still in place are maintaining that relationship with HAMAS, a designated terrorist group…’” (Audio)

*”Until We Can Resolve Whether There Continues To Be A Connection Between CAIR Or It’s Executives And HAMAS, The FBI Does Not View CAIR As An Appropriate Liaison Partner…”

FBI Assistant Director Of Congressional Affairs*”You stated it was to help people, but the motive was to support HAMAS,” … “You state that you are innocent, but the
evidence shows the opposite.”

Even some Muslims when they watch graphic videos of terrorists they comment the same
Quran (8:12) “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them”
Hundreds of millions of our precious non Muslim brothers and sisters have been raped, gang raped, tortured, and savagely slaughtered by Muslims for the sole reason the innocents didn’t believe in warlord Mohammad’s cruel god. The barbaric slaughters and terror attacks continue down to this present day.
God bless the President of the Chicago Police Union for speaking out. Almighty God requires that we speak the truth — One of the Ten Commandments: You shall not bear false witness.
Muslim CAIR are outraged that the President of the Police Union OBEYED GOD and spoke the truth.
God bless this good, decent, patriotic, ethical American.
CAIR up to their usual destruction. Lawfare.
We demand the firing of all CAIR members from their jobs for their complete; insolent, evil intolerance of any type of criticism of the Muslim religion.
