From Creeping Sharia:
Chicago Police Dept. Superintendent speaks at Hamas front CAIR-Chicago’s annual fundraiser
Posted on March 5, 2012 by creeping
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is exploiting recent criticism of the New York Police Department’s surveillance of a Muslim students group and some mosques to acquire legitimacy and intimidate police departments to promise not to investigate Islamic groups.
CAIR has been described as a front for Hamas by federal law enforcement.
After a meeting Tuesday, CAIR’s Chicago chapter announced that Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy will speak Saturday night at CAIR-Chicago’s annual fundraising banquet. In their meeting, McCarthy reportedly saidsurveillance by Chicago police would not be used in intelligence gathering as it was in New York.
“We want to know, should we be concerned about this happening in Chicago?” CAIR-Chicago Executive Director Ahmed Rehab told Fox News. “And if the answer is no, we need him to come out and say this was wrong.”
The NYPD has been criticized for surveillance programs, nearly all of which involved activity and material in the public domain, of Muslim subjects including the Muslim Students Association. As the Investigative Project on Terrorismreported last week, the MSA was created by the Muslim Brotherhood and has a disturbing history of spawning people involved in terrorist plots and spewing radical rhetoric.
By yielding to CAIR pressure, the city’s top police officer will share the microphone with an imam tied to a Hamas-support network which court papers indicate was responsible for CAIR’s very creation.
Kifah Mustapha, head imam at the Mosque Foundation in Bridgeview, is being honored with the chapter’s “Mobilizer Award.”
Mustapha is suing the Illinois State Police after being rejected in his bid to become the agency’s first Muslim chaplain. The decision followed a report by the Investigative Project on Terrorism showing he raised money for the Holy Land Foundation, which saw five former officials convicted in 2008 for illegally routing millions of dollars to the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.
He also sang in a band which frequently performed at HLF fundraisers. In avideotaped performance entered into evidence at the HLF trial, a Hamas caption in shown the background and Mustapha can be heard in the chorus reiterating Hamas’ call for jihad:
“O mother, Hamas for Jihad. Over mosques’ loudspeakers, with freedom. Every day it resistswith stones and the dagger. Tomorrow, with God’s help, it will be with a machine gun and a rifle.”
Mustapha also worked with the Islamic Association for Palestine which, like HLF and CAIR, was a part of the Muslim Brotherhood’s “Palestine Committee.” The committee included a series of separate entities, which prosecutors say andgovernment exhibits show, was created to help Hamas politically and financially in the United States.
In recent years, Mustapha has helped CAIR raise hundreds of thousands of dollars at fundraisers. CAIR attorneys, in turn, are representing Mustapha in his lawsuit against the state police.
Also addressing Saturday’s banquet is Georgetown University Professor John Esposito, who has amassed a long record as an apologist for terrorist supporters. Esposito served as an expert witness for the defense in the HLF trial.
And we know the result of the HLF trial. Read it all at IPT.
