In light of the recent attempt by a terrorist to detonate an explosive
device onboard a passenger airliner landing at Detroit Metropolitan Airport
on Christmas Day, more and more Americans are learning that more is done to
appease Jihadists and their apologists than to detect radical Muslims intent
on killing Americans.

For example, the Transportation Security Administration earlier in the
year announced a new training program -- some may call it an indoctrination
program -- that will be mandated for more than 45,000 security officers and
supervisors. No, it's not training that'll be used to identify terrorists or
protect airline passengers. This training program is being billed as "Muslim
Sensitivity Training."



In a press release sent to US media organizations, the Council on
American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, said it welcomed the "special training
about Islamic traditions" including the Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca, which
entails thousands of Muslims traveling to Saudi Arabia.

The TSA cultural sensitivity training includes details about the timing of
Hajj travel, about items pilgrims may be carrying and about Islamic prayers
that may be observed by security personnel. Earlier this month, CAIR advised
those going on Hajj to be aware of their civil and legal rights as airline
passengers.

CAIR's "Your Rights and Responsibilities as an American Muslim" pocket guide
states:

"As an airline passenger, you are entitled to courteous, respectful and
non-stigmatizing treatment by airline and security personnel. You have the
right to complain about treatment that you believe is discriminatory."

"We welcome the fact that airport security officers nationwide will now be
better informed about Islamic traditions relating to Hajj," said CAIR
Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper.

"This proactive effort on the part of the Transportation Security
Administration demonstrates that there is no contradiction between the need
to maintain airline safety and security and the duty to protect the
religious and civil rights of airline passengers."

Hooper said representatives of CAIR chapters nationwide have met with TSA,
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) officials on issues related to cultural sensitivity and national
security.

CAIR, America's largest Islamic civil liberties group, has 32 offices and
chapters nationwide and in Canada. Its mission is to enhance the
understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower
American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual
understanding.

"Perhaps American Christians and Jews should start complaining about their
treatment at airports, as well. The current strategy of strip-searching
elderly women and invalids appears to be a bit insensitive to this writer.
Forcing women to drink their own breast milk appears to be insensitive,"
said counterterrorism expert Mike Snopes, a former detective with the New
York Police Department.

"While CAIR continues to portray itself as a moderate organization, its
history is filled with red flags that are ignored by the mainstream news
media," he said.

According to a report from the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Terrorism
and Homeland Security:

"The Council on American-Islamic Relations and its employees have combined,
conspired, and agreed with third parties, including, but not limited to, the
Islamic Association for Palestine , the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and
Development, the Global Relief Foundation, 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."

"The Council on American-Islamic Relations, and certain of its officers,
directors, and employees, have acted in support of, and in furtherance of,
this conspiracy," said the Senate report.

Dr. Daniel Pipes, a foremost expert on radical Islam and terrorism cites
several criminal cases involving CAIR officials:

A senior staff member, Randall Royer a/k/a “Ismail” Royer, pled guilty and
was sentenced to twenty years in prison for participating in a network of
militant jihadists centered in Northern Virginia. He admitted to aiding and
abetting three persons who sought training in a terrorist camp in Pakistan
for the purpose of waging jihad against American troops in Afghanistan.
Royer’s illegal actions occurred while he was employed by CAIR.

Their Director of Public Affairs, Bassem Kafagi was arrested by the US due
to his ties with a terror-financing front group. Khafagi pled guilty to
charges of visa and bank fraud, and agreed to be deported to Egypt.
Khafagi’s illegal actions occurred while he was employed by CAIR.

Ghassan Elashi, a founder of CAIR Texas chapter and founder of the Holy Land
Foundation was arrested by the United States and charged with, making false
statements on export declarations, dealing in the property of a designated
terrorist organization, conspiracy and money laundering. Ghassan Elashi
committed his crimes while working at CAIR, and was found guilty.

CAIR Board Member Imam Siraj Wahaj, an un-indicted co-conspirator in the
1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, has called for replacing the
American government with an Islamic caliphate, and warned that America will
crumble unless it accepts Islam.

Whenever CAIR is accused of wrongdoing, their spokesmen are quick to tell
Americans that its leadership have been guests at the White House and that
they are regularly consulted by US officials on matters involving homeland
security.

Too be sure, the Obama Administration intentionally or unintentionally
provides CAIR with cover, but the officials with whom CAIR staff claim they
work are usually people such as Rep. John Conyers, a Democrat serving a
large Muslim population in Michigan, and a long-time terrorist and Marxist
sympathizer. CAIR and other Muslim groups have funneled campaign
contributions to Conyers is now chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

Many believe it was Rep. Conyers who aided CAIR in achieving their
politically correct victory.
