Group connected to terrorists

Ironically, The Gazette recently reprinted a 3-year-old call for Muslim versus Christian peace from Ibrahim Hooper whose byline says he is the national communications director of Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

It's ironic because spokesman Hooper called for “building bridges of interfaith understanding” and peace among religions. Oops.

As reported in WorldNetDaily.com, CAIR admitted in December to participating in a scheme to funnel more than

$12 million of 9/11 donations through the Holy Land Foundation, the convicted fundraising arm for the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas. Now that's cold, using 9/11 disaster donations to surreptitiously fund more terrorist activity.

Two men, David and Chris Gaubatz, recently infiltrated CAIR and “acquired” 12,000 pages of documents along with audio and video recordings. The FBI is now examining these data because federal prosecutors have already established the CAIR-to-Hamas link.

The material is featured in the book “Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America.” Cowritten by David Gaubatz and Paul Sperry, it asserts that CAIR is a front for a conspiracy of the Muslim Brotherhood - the parent of al-Qaida and Hamas - to infiltrate the United States and help pave the way for Saudi-style Islamic law to rule our nation.

That would be burning, not “building bridges of interfaith understanding.”
