Hamas Tries to Silence the Truth Again—This Time in Kansas

After initially publishing, Ex-FBI agent to train Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office how to ID threats; Muslim group protests, a one-sided story giving Hamas (dba CAIR) spokesman Ibrahim Hooper a great deal of latitude, Wichita Eagle reporter Tim Potter spoke with Understanding the Threat (UTT) and attempted to level the playing field in a revision to the story that ran later that evening. Hooper and Hamas (dba CAIR) are trying to shut down a two-day “Understanding the Threat” (UTT) training program for Law Enforcement in Kansas next week because it factually lays out the evidence revealing that CAIR was created to be a node for Hamas in the United States.

Several Weeks ago Hamas (dba CAIR) mounted an all-out effort to shut down a similar three-day training program for Law Enforcement in Culpeper, Virginia, but failed because the Culpeper County Sheriff didn’t bend to Hamas’ pressure tactics and courageously went forward with the training program.

Still, the Wichita Eagle article advances CAIR’s misrepresentation of itself as a Muslim “civil rights and advocacy organization” by referring to the Hamas front as, a “major national Muslim organization,” and including quotes from a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood and jihadi organization, the Muslim Students Association (MSA)—the very first national Islamic organization in America, and one the U.S. Government has identified as a Muslim Brotherhood entity.True to their Kansas backbone—and undeterred by a flea like Ibrahim Hooper or Hamas front CAIR—Kansas law enforcement officials are standing firm and plan to move forward with next week’s training.

What is noticeably missing in Mr. Potter’s article is any mention that evidence in the largest terrorism financing and Hamas trial ever successfully prosecuted in U.S. history (US v Holy Land Foundation (“HLF”), Dallas, 2008), exposed CAIR as a creation of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood, established to support Hamas, and an organization hostile to the United States. CAIR is listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the HLF trial and the Department of Justice lists them as members of the U.S. Palestine Committee in America, which is Hamas.

When CAIR asked the U.S. Court to remove it from the “Unindicted Co-Conspirator List” the federal judge, Jorge Solis, wrote in his unsealed ruling, “The government has produced ample evidence to establish the associations of CAIR, ISNA, and NAIT with HLF, the Islamic Association for Palestine (“IAP”) and with Hamas.”  This matter was sent to the appellate court which ruled unanimously to keep CAIR on the unindicted co-conspirator list because of the overwhelming evidence against them.

In this case, the government provided a massive amount of documentary and testimonial evidence linking CAIR to the Hamas conspiracy for which HLF and its leaders where convicted and given lengthy jail sentences.

Also missing from the Wichita Eagle article is the fact that the FBI cut off all ties with CAIR because of the HLF evidence linking them to Hamas.

So why is the Wichita Eagle and Tim Potter giving Hamas (dba CAIR) a platform to attack UTT and the upcoming training program?

The President of UTT is John Guandolo, a decorated Marine Corps Infantry and Reconnaissance officer and combat veteran, who, as an FBI Special Agent, created the first training program in the government detailing the Muslim Brotherhood’s Islamic Movement, Sharia (Islamic Law), and strategies to deal with the enemy front groups like CAIR.  Mr. Guandolo was awarded the “Defender of the Homeland” Award by Senators Jon Kyl and Joseph Lieberman for his efforts in 2007.  Mr. Guandolo has briefed dozens of U.S. Congressmen, four-star generals and admirals, former Directors of Intelligence agencies, former National Security Advisors, and many state legislators, police chiefs, and sheriffs across the country bringing this information to them which they all agree is critical for state and local officials to know in order to protect their communities.

None of these things are mentioned Tim Potter’s article.

This incident highlights the failure of the media, at the local and national level, to speak truth into a significant jihadi threat to our nation.  Hamas (dba CAIR) has been responsible along with other jihadi organizations like the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), the Muslim American Society (MAS), the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) for silencing fact/evidence-based training across our government with the willful assistance of cowardly leaders.  All they need to say is “we are offended” and American leaders at the federal level bow the knee.

In order to continue to turn the tide, I encourage readers to do a few things:

1. If you understand this threat and can articulate it, spend time with local reporters in your area to share the information with them.  Educate them, don’t berate them. Give them a chance to learn.
2. Contact FBI Headquarters at 202-234-3000 and ask them why a Hamas entity (CAIR) with whom they have broken all ties remains unindicted.
3. Contact the U.S. Attorney General’s Public Comment Line at 202-253-1515 and ask why Hamas front CAIR remains unindicted.

It is time to purge terrorist organizations like CAIR and their leaders from our society.  It can begin by holding people and organizations in our communities accountable so, at a minimum, they will stop supporting Jihadis.
