- 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.
A known terror-supporting organization having the superintendent speak at a fund raising dinner that honors an imam mentioned as a top fundraiser for a foundation convicted in court of raising money for terrorism and terror related organizations?
We guess we shouldn't be surprised after G-Mac opened his tenure in Chicago preaching to the Phleger crowd. We're sure he'll be telling the CAIR people they're just victims of the government, too.
