Anti-Israel Hamas-Linked CAIR Pressures Charities to Blacklist Conservative Nonprofits
2019-05-12
[PJMedia] On Monday, the first day of the Islamic holy season of Ramadan, the Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",-linked anti-Israel Council on American-Islamic Relations
... the Moslem Brüderbund's American arm ...
(CAIR) released a report condemning mainstream charities and philanthropic groups for allowing donors to contribute to conservative organizations CAIR and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) have accused of being "hate groups" comparable to the Ku Klux Klan. This is particularly rich, as CAIR was an unindicted co-conspirator in a terror-funding case involving the Paleostinian terror group Hamas.

The report, "Hijacked by Hate: American Philanthropy and the Islamophobia
...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do...
Network," lists "philanthropic foundations, many of them mainstream, that were used by anonymous special interest donors to funnel almost $125 million to anti-Moslem hate groups between 2014 and 2016." CAIR found 1,096 organizations funding 39 groups they accused of fomenting "anti-Moslem hate," to the tune of $1.5 billion.

The funders include Fidelity and Schwab Charitable as well as faith-based charities such as the Jewish Communal Fund and the National Christian Charitable Foundation. CAIR followed the lead of the SPLC in accusing various conservative organizations of being "hate groups," including ACT for America, the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), the Center for Security Policy, the David Horowitz Freedom Center, and others. The SPLC is currently struggling with a racism and sexual harassment scandal that dealt a critical blow to its credibility.

CAIR National Research and Advocacy Manager Zainab Arain claimed that the report aims to "make it easy auto identify connections and empower decision makers to make informed choices about who they partner with." In other words, the report aims to blackmail charitable foundations into blacklisting conservative organizations on the spurious grounds that they are terroristic "hate groups."
