The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today thanked the White House for hosting a listening session on so-called Islamophobia with Muslim community organizations and reiterated its call for the Biden Administration to address what CAIR considers to be the unconstitutional ‘FBI Terror Watchlist’ and its impact on American Muslims, including Mayor Mohamed Khairullah, who was banned from an Eid al-Fitr party at the White House by the Secret Service.
On Tuesday, CAIR Government Affairs Director Robert S. McCaw joined representatives of other national Muslim organizations for a special White House listening session on American Muslim domestic priorities, including concerns related to Islamophobia.
“We commend President Biden and the White House staff for hosting a listening session on Islamophobia and other important policy issues with American Muslim organizations.
“This meeting was a valuable opportunity for American Muslims to present policy proposals related to promoting Muslim inclusion in the federal government, addressing civil liberty concerns, reporting hate crimes, countering Islamophobia, and other critical issues.
“We hope the White House will implement the proposals American Muslim leaders presented, starting by reigning in the watchlist system and righting the wrong done to Mayor Mohamed Khairullah.”
During the meeting, CAIR reiterated its long-standing concerns about the unconstitutional and discriminatory federal watchlist. CAIR specifically called on the White House to fulfill President Biden’s campaign pledge to initiate a DHS review of the watchlist and no-fly-list and improve the processes to remove names.
CAIR also highlighted the Secret Service’s revoking of New Jersey Prospect Park Mayor Mohamed Khairullah’s invitation to the White House’s Eid al Fitr-celebration as an example of the harm caused by the watchlist.
CAIR concluded by calling for evidence-based, rather than identity-based, non-discriminatory security solutions that provide due process protections consistent with our nation’s laws and values.

Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch says:
The Biden regime doesn’t hesitate to associate with representatives of groups with demonstrable links to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Robert McCaw of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) was there. CAIR officials have refusedtodenounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Ibrahim Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements about how Islamic law should be imposed in the U.S. (Ahmad denies this, but the original reporter stands by her story.) CAIR chapters frequently distribute pamphlets telling Muslims not to cooperate with law enforcement. CAIR has opposed virtually every anti-terror measure that has been proposed or implemented and has been declared a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates. A CAIR operative has called for the overthrow of the U.S. government.
Mohamed Magid was there. According to Focus On Western Islamism, “Magid’s previous organization, ISNA, was designated by the Justice Department as an unindicted co-conspirator in the terrorism-financing trial of the Holy Land Foundation in 2007. The Justice Department also listed ISNA as an ‘entity’ of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood. In 2009, a federal judge upheld the designation because of ‘ample’ evidence linking ISNA to the Hamas-financing network. Magid fanned the flames during the Holy Land investigation by stating that elements of the U.S. government were acting with ‘intent on dismantling Muslim organizations and bringing them down.’ Magid spoke at a fundraiser for the rabidly anti-American imam Jabil Abdullah Al-Amin (previously known as H. Rap Brown), who was convicted of murdering a police officer in 2008. Al-Amin is the spiritual leader of a violent extremist group called Ummah that, according to the FBI, is a ‘nationwide radical fundamentalist Sunni group’ whose ‘primary mission is to establish a separate, sovereign Islamic state within the borders of the United States, governed by Shariah law.’ Magid… [played a] role in hindering discussion of the Islamist political motives of jihadist terrorism while serving on the Obama Administration’s working group dedicated to Countering Violent Extremism program said Kyle Shideler, director of the Center for Security Policy. Under pressure from Magid and others, this group ‘totally erased any discussion of the Islamist political motives of jihadist terrorism,’ he said.”
Salam al-Marayati was there. Again according to Focus On Western Islamism, “in 1999 he called Hezbollah attacks as ‘legitimate resistance.’ Marayati suggested that Israel perpetrated 9/11 to distract attention away from its actions in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. His involvement with MPAC is remarkable because the organization was founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood and has a history of concerning rhetoric. For example, the organization has claimedthat the War on Terror was actually a ‘war on Islam’ perpetuated by a conspiracy of anti-Muslim ‘special interest groups’ working with U.S. government officials to promote ‘Islamophobic’ policies in the aftermath of 9/11. In 2010, a MPAC policy paper argued that the Muslim Brotherhood’s ‘peaceful activism’ is an asset to the U.S.’s efforts to fight Al-Qaeda.”
Dalia Mogahed was there. According to the Global Influence Operations Report, she is “the Director of Research at the US Institute for Social Policy and Understanding, a group whose Board of Advisors and staff includes prominent figures in the US Muslim Brotherhood.”
Muslim Brotherhood organizations in the United States are dedicated, according to a captured internal document, to “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within, and sabotaging its miserable house.” And even its miserable White House.

I had not seen this important BNI Report until after I posted my post yesterday about “Danger in America & Australia”. But this essential report tabled by BNI, confirms many of the comments I have recorded in the past.

Of COURSE the corrupt Biden administration would welcome CAIR into the White House.
Never in history have we had so many governments in the Western world hell-bent on destroying their own countries and letting in hostile invaders who seek to outbreed us, overwhelm us, govern us, and ultimately kill us. CAIR is a terrorist organisation. FACT.
