Muslim Brotherhood proxy CAIR (Council on Anti-American Islamic Relations) is pushing for a uniform ‘hijab-friendly’ policy to allow Muslim women to keep the schmatta on their heads during detention and photos in all local and federal U.S. prisons.

Al-Arabiya  “I’m working on several pending cases in different states… and I’m in touch with an attorney for the Department of Justice’s Office of Civil Rights,” Nadhira al-Khalili, legal counsel for CAIR, told Al Arabiya.

Novi recently became the first locality in Michigan to officially permit Muslim women to don their head cover during detention and photos at the local prison.

“There are other accommodations in other localities in Michigan for Muslim females to keep their hijab during detainment. However, Novi is the first locality in Michigan that has made it an official policy,” Dawud Walid, executive director of CAIR’s Michigan chapter, told Al Arabiya.

While some women take off their scarves, even in the presence of males, for fear of reprisals by sheriff deputies, others have resisted.

In North Carolina, “a woman was arrested for making a telephone threat to a family member she was quarrelling with. Upon arrest and booking, she was told to remove her scarf. She told the sheriffs that it was her right to wear the scarf, and she refused to take it off,” Khalili said.

However, she “was held down on the floor by two male deputy sheriffs, and a female removed the scarf. She wasn’t given her scarf back until she left the jail. She had to appear in front of a judge uncovered. She was admitted to a hospital because of the trauma.” (Not trauma, fodder for a future lawsuit by CAIR)

In London, Non-Muslim policewomen have been ordered by the department to cover their heads like Muslim women when entering a mosque on police business or when called for help.

Having a uniform policy covering about 3,000 sheriff’s departments across the United States is an ambitious project.

A decision in Orange County says deputies didn’t violate rights by making a woman take off her religiously mandated (FALSE, it is not mandated) headscarf for security reasons

“The courts generally don’t want to intervene in the professional judgment of a sheriff. Some courts have ruled that when security is a concern, safety should override a religious practice. Other courts have ruled in favor of Muslim women who want to wear hijab,” said Khalili.

CAIR even has a guidebook for prisons on how prison officials must respect Islamic religious demands:

—-Save the date for our 5th Annual—-
“Taste of Ramadan” Iftar on July 17th! 

The staff and board of CAIR-Chicago would like to invite all you Muslim-sympathizing infidels to our fifth annual “Taste of Ramadan,” which is set to take place this summer at our new, centrally located downtown office. 

Last year, hundreds of community members and non-Muslims attended the event. Check out more pictures from previous Taste of Ramadan iftars here. 

‘Iftar’ is an Arabic term that refers to the evening meal that breaks the daylight fast that Muslims observe during Ramadan. The meal is often organized as a community so that Muslims can celebrate the breaking of their fast together. 

The sun is due to set on Wednesday, July 17th at approximately 8:23pm, which is when the Iftar will commence.

WHAT: Taste of Ramadan Iftar & Cook-off
WHEN: Wednesday, July 17th, 2013, at 8 pm

George Leventhal ‘dhimmi Judenrat’

‘Judenrats’ were the traitorous Jews who helped the Nazis exterminate their fellow Jews. Montgomery County Council Member George Leventhal, whose letter to Montgomery County Public School officials last year urging them to consider making Muslim Eid a recognized school holiday gave new momentum to the ‘Eid Equality’ effort, told guests at the Hamas front group CAIR’s inaugural banquet on April 28, 2013 that he would keep his son home on Eid. Leventhal is a Jew.

This is an update to the story linked here. Be sure to check out all the EID photos of animals tortured just for EID: maryland-terror-linked-cair-demands-school-holiday-equality-for-muslim-holidays

Here is Leventhal’s Facebook account if you care to comment: George ‘dhimmi’ Levanthal

Muslim Link  On May 1st, 2013 the Maryland chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MD) launched its “Equality for Eid” (E4E) campaign. “This is  a grassroots community-based initiative led by CAIR-MD seeking Montgomery County Public School closing for Eid holidays,” says CAIR-MD Board Member Saqib Ali.

“Next Eid al-Adha, October 15th, I will keep my son home from school,” pledges Montgomery County Council Member George Leventhal, who has been working closely with terrorism sponsors from CAIR and the newly formed coalition on developing an effective, appropriate plan of action. The coalition is  planning a sit out.  

The coalition urges all Montgomery County residents to follow suit. This is not a Muslim issue, it is an equality issue say E4E backers. (That’s right, it’s an Islamic Intimidation issue) “E4E is trying to mobilize the entire Montgomery County community, regardless of faith,” says Zainab Chaudry, Vice-President of CAIR MD.

Last November the Montgomery County Public School (MCPS) Board of Education met to adopt a school calendar for the academic year 2013-2014 and decided not to include Eid as a holiday. A coalition building meeting was held in January under the leadership of Councilman Leventhal.

E4E members include Montgomery County parents, students, school staff, businesses, non-profit organizations, and county residents.

The (all-Muslim except for one Jew) Coalition co-chairs include Anhar Karim, a high school junior who is class president and president of the Montgomery County Muslim Students Association; Mimi Hassanein, Vice President of the Montgomery County Muslim Council and co-chair of the Middle Eastern Advisory Group for Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett; Samira Hussein, long-time CAIR volunteer/activist and Family Service Worker for Pre-K programs for Montgomery County Public Schools; Zaffer Mirza, Board of Trustees Member of Muslim Community Center and Muslim community representative of the Montgomery County Public Schools’ “School Calendar Committee”; Mumin Barre, president of the Somali Diaspora Network and Co-Chair of County Executive’s African Affairs Advisory Group; and Saqib Ali, CAIR-MD director of government relations and former Maryland State Delegate.

The Muslim community needs to unite on this issue, regardless of differences over methods to establish Islamic dates, said Chaudhry. 

“Instead of being counteractive the community needs to realize the importance of this issue,” says Chaudhry. “There maybe resistance. Some groups may pop up claiming creeping shariah but this is not a reason to be discouraged but a reason to take this seriously,” she said. What is at stake is the recognition of the Islamic faith, holidays and community as equal to others in the county, added Chaudhry.

FBI to CAIR: “An anonymous phone call from an anonymous woman using an anonymous phone? Yep, we’ll stop everything and get right on it.”

And Muslim Brotherhood proxy, CAIR (Council on Anti-American Relations) is hard at work chasing down all the ‘misunderstanders’ of Islam.

CAIR  From the Desk of Saly Abd Alla, Esq.

CAIR-MN Muslim Rights Director

Here are some cases CAIR-MN has worked on recently:

• FBI visits the home of a Muslim who believes he is being targeted because he enrolled in a religious class.

• Grocery store employees call the police on a Muslim for “suspicious behavior” after he was seen walking around the store while holding his cell phone.

• An 8-year-old is told by his teacher that “Muslims bomb people.”

• FBI contacts a Muslim on a business trip abroad and ask him to “work” for them to get “information” on the Somali community.

• A Muslim student is treated unfairly by a professor and terminated from her program.

• A man is called a racial slur in front of his supervisor and fired when he reports it.

• A doctor makes discriminatory comments about a Muslim patient in a medical report.

• A Muslim woman and her husband are denied service at a chain restaurant because the woman wears niqab.

• A teacher calls the police, who in turn call the FBI, on a Muslim student for “suspicious behavior” because he waslooking at street maps.

Apparently, CAIR’s newest spokesIslamist didn’t get the memo with all the whitewashed talking points.

The only terrorists who should be on trial are the terrorism-funders from CAIR, several of whom are already sitting in jail from their convictions in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism-financing case. CAIR was also named as co-conspirators in this case.

CAIR has been all over the airwaves moaning and groaning about a greeting card that allegedly offends Muslim sensibilities. Because of the enormous free publicity offered by CAIR, I am hereby putting out a request for someone to create a humorous, clever anti-Islam poster for me to market and sell on my blog.  All profits will be donated to Pamela Geller’s ‘Islamic Apartheid’ ad campaign.

Please make sure it is original artwork so we don’t infringe on any copyright laws.

Apparently the  greeting card company has pulled the terrorist card because of threats and intimidation from CAIR. But that hasn’t stopped the CAIR thugs from continuing to rail about it.

Nihad Awad’s belly laugh of the day: “There is a growing attempt by some commentators to label the recent bombings in Boston as ‘jihad’ and to blame the deadly blasts on a non-existent concept they call ‘radical Islam.’ I call radical Islam non-existent because radicalism or extremism is not permissible in Islam. Islam prohibits extremism and an essential part of the faith is moderation. A more accurate term might be Al-Qaeda ideology.”

CAIR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR NIHAD AWAD

(CAIR Press Release) The Quran, Islam’s foundational holy text, states clearly: “We made you to be a community of the middle way, so that (with the example of your lives) you might bear witness to the truth before all mankind.” (Quran, 2:143)

The Quran also states: “O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to God, even against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for God can best protect both.” (Quran, 4:35)

There is no such thing as radical Islam, but there are radical Muslims — just as there are extremists of every other religion or belief.

But there’s a huge difference between the existence of radical individuals and a religion that permits radical beliefs or actions. These radicals certainly do not represent the teachings of Islam or the behavior or beliefs of mainstream Muslims.

In one Islamic tradition, called a “hadith,” the Prophet Muhammad said: “Religion is very easy and whoever overburdens himself in his religion will not be able to continue in that way. So you should not be extremists, but try to be near to perfection and receive the good tidings that you will be rewarded; and gain strength by worshipping in the mornings, the nights.”

In recent years, we have seen the term “jihadist” come to be used as if it means a person who kills people out of a religious motivation, but this is terribly inaccurate.

“Jihad” does not mean “holy war.” Literally, jihad means to “struggle,” strive and exert effort. It is a central and broad Islamic concept that includes struggle against evil inclinations within oneself, struggle to improve the quality of life in society, struggle in the battlefield for self-defense (e.g., – having a standing army for national defense), or fighting against tyranny or oppression.

For the sake of accuracy and to avoid spreading false information about a major world religion, extremist Muslims who commit crimes should be called criminals or, in cases where the definition fits, terrorists. We should not legitimize their actions by calling them jihadists, even if they attempt to call themselves by that label and seek a false religious connection or justification. These criminals should not be honored with a religious label.

Islam allows legitimate self defense, but prohibits the killing of innocent people, even in times of war or conflict. Aggression is never permitted. “And fight in the cause of God those who fight against you, and do not commit aggression. Indeed God does not love those who are aggressors,” (The Quran, 2:190).

So yes, there are some Muslims who have extreme views, or mental illnesses, or political grievances, or a host of other reasons that lead them to kill people, and this is not only a tragedy and a crime but an egregious violation of the principles of Islam.

The difference between Muslim killers and killers from other backgrounds is often the way they are described by the media and viewed by the public: with Muslim killers, the crime is almost always attributed to their religion.

Because the word “terrorism” is used almost exclusively to describe crimes whose perpetrators are Muslims, you might think that a majority of mass killings and acts of terrorism in the U.S. were committed by Muslims. But when we look at the facts, that perception does not hold up.
