CAIR STATES SUPPORT FOR HAMAS
STATEMENTS MADE DAYS BEFORE HAMAS TERROR ATTACK
ON ISRAELI TEENS
(Coral Springs, FL) On Saturday, March 1, 2008, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) expressed its support for Hamas and denied that Hamas was a terrorist organization. The statements were made, during an Americans Against Hate (AAH) rally against CAIR’s usage of the Broward County Convention Center, a government-owned facility.
Whilst speaking into a microphone bearing CAIR’s name and logo, CAIR-Florida representative Jawhar “Joe” Badran stated clearly on video, “Hamas is not a terrorist organization.” At the time, Badran was standing next to the Executive Director of CAIR-Florida Altaf Ali.
Other statements made by Badran at the rally, include: “Hamas is a defender of the Palestinian people. That’s what Hamas is.” And “Hamas is better than Fatah, because there’s no corruption. Hamas takes care of the people.”
A video of the statements can be seen here.
The statements were made less than a week prior to the terror attack on a Jerusalem school perpetrated by Hamas. The attack left eight Israeli students dead.
The press release issued by Hamas’s military wing, the Ezzedeen Al-Qassam Brigades, claiming responsibility for the attack, can be seen here.
AAH Chairman Joe Kaufman stated, “It is unconscionable for CAIR to state its support for a group that targets youth with terrorist attacks. Given CAIR’s ties to Hamas, we call on our government to, once and for all, shut the organization down.”
