Warning: CAIR’s Ongoing Infiltration of Key American Institutions

Hamas-linked CAIR unleashes 50,000-strong Muslim army trained to dismantle America’s institutions. America’s future is at stake! It is not just an ideological war — this is a coordinated, well-funded effort to dismantle American values, destroy our Constitution, and replace it with an Islamic regime. We can no longer afford to overlook the threat posed by CAIR and other Hamas-linked organizations.

In Their Own Words

30 Aug, 2024, Plano, TX: In a chilling sermon delivered on August 30, 2024, at the East Plano Islamic Center in Texas, the co-founder and Executive Director of CAIR, Nihad Awad, laid out a detailed plan for an “army” of “50,000” Muslim journalists, lawyers, politicians, and activists who will infiltrate every corner of American life. Awad’s message was clear: Islam will no longer be the villain in Hollywood or academia but will instead be portrayed as the hero, thanks to a coordinated effort to change the very fabric of American culture. His goal is to manipulate public opinion, rewrite our history, and flood the U.S. Congress with Muslim legislators loyal not to America but to Islam.

2 Aug, 2024, Detroit, MI: The Detroit imam Imran Salha said at a Friday sermon at the Islamic Center of Detroit that Islam is superior, that it is the last hope for America, that the way America treats Muslims around the world will dictate its longevity, that the Muslims will never truly find favor with the Christians and the Jews, that the job of Muslims in America is to teach about Allah and “frustrate” the Zionists, and that the Zionists are the “cockroaches of history,” while the Muslims are “the liberators.” He said: “Frustrate the Zionists with every single mode that is within your reach as a citizen of this country… Every single time you go on Fox News and you yell at that Zionist, Allah is rewarding you.” The sermon was livestreamed on the Islamic Center of Detroit’s YouTube channel.

4 Sep, 2024, New York, NY: An imam from upstate New York, Tom Facchine, urged student activists during an August 20 webinar to “take out” the Columbia University business school professor Shai Davidai, who is known for his pro-Israel stance. Facchine’s inflammatory comments were made during a session titled “Islamic Political Activism,” which was promoted by various Columbia student groups. Davidai reported the remarks to Columbia University officials, prompting an investigation involving outside security experts. However, these experts concluded that the rhetoric did not warrant enhanced security measures.

Attacks on the Homeland

2 Sep 2024, Pittsburgh, PA: Jarrett Buba, who at 52 years old is unlikely to be a student at the university, “attacked two Jewish University of Pittsburgh students with a glass bottle as they walked through campus Friday evening near the Cathedral of Learning.” Buba’s victims were wearing yarmulkes; Buba himself, however, was sporting a keffiyeh, the checkered scarf that is closely associated with the Palestinian Arab jihad against Israel.

3 Sep 2024. Las Vegas, NV: Joshua Robles, 16, has been “accused of plotting an ISIS-inspired terror attack.” After Robles was arrested last November, prosecutors considered him to be so dangerous that they asked that his bail be set at a million dollars; Las Vegas Justice Court Pro Temp Judge Lauren Diefenbach, however, instead decided to set it at $10,000. Authorities think that Robles was “building explosive devices similar to the ones that killed three and injured hundreds in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.” There is some indication that he planned to carry out an arson jihad attack on New Year’s Day 2024.

7 Sep 2024, New York, NY: A Pakistani man living in Canada who was arrested for allegedly plotting terrorist acts against New York’s Jewish population reportedly envisioned a multi-team simultaneous attack to maximize the body count. Law enforcement officials arrested Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, 20, in Canada, after he was accused of plotting to attack a Jewish center in Brooklyn on the one-year anniversary of the Hamas October 7 attacks in Israel. Khan landed on the radar of federal agents after he allegedly began sharing ISIS propaganda videos and discussing his support for the terror organization’s causes beginning sometime in the fall of last year. During that time Khan began interacting with an individual who was actually a confidential informant for the FBI.

11 Sep 2024. Las Vegas, NV: Asif Merchant, also known as Asif Raza Merchant, was indicted on September 10 for attempting to commit an act of terrorism transcending national boundaries and murder-for-hire as part of a scheme to assassinate a politician or U.S. government official on U.S. soil. Law enforcement foiled the plot before any attack could be carried out. Merchant was previously arrested and charged by complaint in July 2024. Merchant was ordered detained and is currently in federal custody.

Border Terror

19 Sep 2024. Southern Border: The retired top Border Patrol agent Aaron Heitke said the Kamala-Biden regime ordered him to cover up an increase in the number of suspected terrorist arrests at the southern border. “There is a significant threat out there that we don’t know, and we saw a steady increase in the number of individuals coming across the border… the numbers just continued to increase to thousands and thousands each day,” he said.

17 Sep 2024. Southern Border: On May 3, two Jordanian immigrants tried to force entry into Quantico Marine Corps Base with a large box truck. Lacking credentials, they were stopped and arrested, one reportedly being on the FBI’s terrorism watch list. In at least seven recent cases, Border Patrol agents, overwhelmed by the crisis, have accidentally released illegal border-crossers who were on the US terror watch list. It is emblematic of a serious new kind of national security threat to the US homeland. Short of vastly reducing the millions-per-year border crossings by restoring former president Donald Trump’s discarded policies, the Biden Administration could at least be forced to triple down on its counterterrorism resources at the southern border.

21 Sep 2024, Southern Border: This is the reality of the Biden/Harris regime. The southern border is still wide open. The media tries to make the public forget, so let’s remind everyone. Texas DPS encountered 8 “special interest” illegals at the southern border in the rural Normandy area of Texas. Some of these illegals were from Turkey and told the DPS troopers that they paid $12 thousand to cross the Rio Grande into the US. This included finding a “sponsor” within the US to help them once they cross the border. A “special interest alien” is a non-U.S. person who, based on an analysis of travel patterns, potentially poses a national security risk — DHS.

28 Aug, 2024, Southern Border: Despite efforts with U.S. support, only about 3% of migrants can be screened in Panama amid an overwhelming influx, down from 90% when the program started in 2011, Panama’s National Border Service’s director general Jorge Gobea said in an interview with the Center for Immigration Studies. This reduction in screening capability means that many suspects evade capture until reaching the U.S. border. For instance, since January 2021, at least 99 individuals on the FBI’s watchlist were released into the U.S. after crossing the border.

U.S. — Based Organizations

3 Sep, 2024, Southern Border: National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP), which has been linked to Islamist terrorist organizations, publicly discussed its grand strategy of using the anti-Zionist student movement as a weapon for destroying the US in a now-deleted tweet that was posted to X/Twitter on September 3. On the same day the tweet was posted, Columbia University’s most strident pro-Hamas organization was reported to be distributing literature calling on students to join the terror group’s movement to destroy Israel during this year’s convocation ceremony.

Bad Actors from Abroad / Corrupt Enablers

10 Sep, 2024, Washington, DC: A prestigious Jesuit university, Georgetown University, which receives substantial funding from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, faces accusations of promoting pro-Hamas propaganda and fostering antisemitism through its Gaza Lecture Series. The university, having received $934 million from Arab-Muslim sources, invited UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese to deliver a lecture titled “Anatomy of Genocide in Gaza.” The U.S. Department of Education previously warned that foreign funding, particularly from Islamic regimes, could lead to increased antisemitism and anti-Zionist incidents on campuses.

Protests

7 Sep, 2024, New York, NY: Anti-Israel, pro-Hamas protestors are back in full hateful swing as a new academic year begins across the country. In early September, incoming Jewish freshmen from Baruch College were attending a welcome event at a kosher restaurant in Midtown Manhattan when they were taunted by protestors. The video shows the protestors taunting attendees by referencing the six hostages recently murdered by Hamas terrorists, including Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23.The protestors shouted hateful comments including, “You ain’t going home tonight,” “Go back to Brooklyn,” “All Zionists are terrorists,” “Baby killers,” and “Where’s Hersh?” In addition to verbal abuse, one of the staff members from the Hillel at Baruch was allegedly physically assaulted by the protestors. Hillel International is the largest Jewish campus organization in the world and works with thousands of college students at more than 850 colleges and communities globally.

Just So You Know

9 Sep, 2024, Burkina Faso, Africa: On September 9, jihadist militants launched a coordinated assault on several Christian villages in Burkina Faso, resulting in one of the deadliest attacks in the country’s history. Heavily armed Islamists killed 200, burned homes, looted properties, and forced thousands to flee, leaving a trail of devastation. Yet this attack, like so many others, received scant attention in the Western press. In fact, a vast swath of Africa, called the Sahel, has fallen under the control of ISIS and Al Qaeda-linked groups. No media, no protests, no UN condemnations, nothing. The only condemnation coming out of the global left is against the Jews defending a country against the jihad.

23 Sep, 2024: The state of Virginia, backed by 21 other states, urged a federal court not to dismiss a case brought by victims’ families of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack on Israel. The lawsuit accuses a Virginia-based nonprofit, the AJP Educational Foundation, also known as American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) and National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP), of supporting and assisting Hamas. The plaintiffs include victims of the attack, family members of those killed, and displaced individuals. They allege that AMP and NSJP act as Hamas’s propaganda wing in the U.S., using college student chapters to recruit and promote Hamas’ message.
