Chicago Police Dept. Embraces Hamas Front
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 said surveillance 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 Terrorism reported 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.
