CAIR charged with racketeering and fraud--who'd a thunk?

The un-indicted co-conspirator organization known as CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) is going to stand trial on charges of fraud and cover up for alleged crimes against hundreds of victims, according to a new ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

The original case against CAIR was dismissed by a federal judge but but was then unanimously overturned by the appellate court. Two cases are involved in the suit and have since been consolidated into one. Both involved racketeering, a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) crime.

The lawsuit claims that CAIR National knew that Morris Days, their "Resident Attorney" and "Manager for Civil Rights" at CAIR-Maryland/Virginia chapter in Herndon, Virginia (which is now defunct) was not an attorney and that he failed to provide legal services for clients who came to CAIR for legal representation.

The suit claims that CAIR knew of this fraud and intentionally conspired with Days to prevent their CAIR clients from learning that their legal matters were being mishandled or not handled at all. The complaints also allege that, according to CAIR's internal documents, there were hundreds of victims of the fraud scheme.

The original federal judge ruled that Days and CAIR's Virginia chapter were liable for fraud, but that CAIR National wasn't responsible for his conduct. The appeals court found upon review of the evidence, however, there was a direct relationship between CAIR National and Days.

How surprising coming from such a above-board organization that only wants the best interests of the Muslim community and the United States to be served . . . or not.

David Yerushalmi, senior counsel for the plaintiffs and co-founder of the American Freedom Law Center, said that "CAIR engaged in a massive criminal fraud in which literally hundreds of CAIR clients have been victimized." 

Yerushalmi also represented Pamela Geller in her cases against lawsuits initiated by CAIR against her First Amendment rights. Regarding the current case he added, "In his ruling, Judge Friedman [the original judge] inexplicably ignored material facts that establish CAIR National's liability and then engaged in a transparently disingenuous 'weighing' of the factual evidence he did address . . . We are thankful that the appeals court has rectified the trial court's errors. Now, at long last, our clients will go before a jury and get their day in court."

Anyone who follows the news and refuses to stick their head in the sand, or in other places, knows that CAIR has a long history of Islamist extremism. They have links to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood (as does Barack Ohama), and the U.S. Justice Department labeled CAIR as an "un-indicted co-conspirator" in the Holy Land Foundation trial that revealed Hamas-funding by the Muslim Brotherhood and that CAIR is a U.S. Muslim Brotherhood entity.

CAIR was officially designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates in 2014 and listed by the U.S. Department of Justice as part of the Muslim Brotherhood's covert "Palestine Committee" to support Hamas in the USA.
