U.S. Census Bureau Partners With Controversial Muslim Group - Report
[Jpost] A controversial US Moslem organization is going to cooperate with the US Census Bureau, according to a report by the Investigative Project on Terrorism.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations
... the Moslem Brüderbund's American arm ...
(CAIR) announced the partnership on Wednesday, highlighting that it is aimed to "ensure American Moslems are fairly and accurately counted in the 2020 Census."

Continued from Page 2



According to the report, the Census Bureau did not respond to a request for a comment, and it was not clear what the partnership would exactly entail.

Established in 1994, the CAIR describes itself as "a grassroots civil rights and advocacy group" and "the largest Moslem civil liberties organization."

However,
the way to a man's heart remains through his stomach...
CAIR founders Omar Ahmad
...founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. He also worked for the Islamic Association of Palestine, a precursor to CAIR. He was born in Amman, Jordan. He holds a Masters in Computer Science from Santa Clara University as well as a Masters in Political Science. Says the reporter who quoted him saying the Koran must become the supreme authority in the U.S.A. is a liar, damn her.....
and Nihad Awad
...CAIR’s national executive director, whatever that means beyond big turban, and founder of the very exclusive political organization U.S. Council of Mohammedan Organizations (USCMO) in 2014, whose membership reads like a Who's Who of Brotherhood front groups. Back in 2007, Hamas-founded CAIR was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial ...
have a history of supporting Death Eater organizations, the IPT pointed out.

Both Ahmad and Awad were involved in a Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",-support network in America created by the Moslem Brüderbund.

In 1998, Awad insinuated that Jewish advisers negatively influenced the Clinton administration's foreign politics.

"Look at their names. Look at their ethnic, their ethnic or religious or racial background. You will see that these are the same groups that belong to the same interest groups in the (Clinton) Administration... they are the same people who are opposing the peace agreement (with Iraq)," he said.

In 2009, a senior FBI official quoted by the IPT, said that "[u]ntil we can resolve whether there continues to be a connection between CAIR or its executives and HAMAS, the FBI does not view CAIR as an appropriate liaison partner." The FBI has not yet reversed the policy.

Moreover, in August 2014, Awad called Israel "the biggest threat to world peace and security" in a tweet.

The American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD),
...that’s Dr. Mohamed Zuhdi Jasser’s organization, founded in 2003 as the anti-CAIR after he retired as a lieutenant commander in the US Navy...
an organization that describes itself as "the most prominent American Moslem organization directly confronting the ideology of political Islam", whose mission is "to advocate for the preservation of the founding principles of the United States Constitution, liberty and freedom, through the separation of mosque and state" criticized the partnership between the CAIR and the Census Bureau.

According to AIFD President Zuhdi Jasser, the notion promoted by the CAIR feeds into the stereotype that American Moslems are not fully engaged in the general society.

"The notion that Moslems need to be encouraged to participate in the national census treats an entire population as 'naïve immigrants colonists,'" Jasser said. "They claim we're well integrated. If that claim is true, why is this project necessary?"

The United States has promoted a census every ten years since 1790. The 2020 census will begin on April 1. The results collected once a decade, help determine how federal funding is distributed to states and communities.

"CAIR wants to ensure that not only are American Moslem communities being fairly counted ‐ but that their neighborhoods are getting a fair share in federal and state funding," the organization stated.

According to the ITP, the CAIR in the past has inflated the number of people of Moslem faith in the US: in 2001, they issued a report claiming that 6 million Moslems lived in the country, while a Pew Research Center report in 2007 estimated the number at 2,35 million.

#3 The census bureau had no business 'partnering' with any group. They may call for individual volunteers in a man-power crunch but that should be it.

#6 Somebody at the Census Bureau ought to be looking for a new job.

#7 I thought the Census Bureau was not allowed to ask people their religion. Why would CAIR need to be invollved?

#9 This is why intelligent societies do not let muslims achieve economic independence, deny them purchasing power and representation. It may sound inhuman, but you will need to do it to survive. Learn from those societies whose very mainstay is surviving.

What western societies need is organized and state 'approved' inequality. Income, political and social.

We call it 'selective disempowerment'.

#10 Does the Census Bureau have deep-staters left over from the "O" administration? Probably. What "O" did to the government in the way of politicization and weaponization of the Federal government is tragic and very dangerous to the Republic.

#11 Undoubtedly they do.

And progress in draining the swamp seems painfully slow. I'm beginning to think that the only solution is drastic reductions in the federal workforce, period. I can't think that there are that many babies to be thrown out with the bath water.

#12 America no longer belongs to you, but you will still be expected to pay and bleed and die for it.

So be good little Troo Conservatives and get on the stick, mkay?
