RUTHFULLY YOURS

This guy is hardcore. Basim Elkarra is a rising star in the Democrats. He recently went to the notoriously violent and Islamized Tower Hamlets in the UK. Probably taking notes for the future. This is the next wave of jihad. Islamic supremacists in government. Think about that.

Read his shpiel. Reads like the Muslim Brotherhood group CAIR’s Press release.

Protection of Civil Liberties & Combating Hate Crimes
Increase diversity within the Democratic Party
Immigrant and Worker’s Rights
Quality Education for All
Economic Justice for All

Note “hate” crimes (the sharia), civil liberties (playing the non-existent race card — Islam is not a race), diversity (cough, cough), immigrant and workers rights (playing the union thug and immigration card), economic justice for all (moocher and the looter vote). The stealth jihad is very slick, and this is it at its slickest. Using our freedoms to kill freedom.

The state of California is decayed, bankrupt, pillaged, destroyed. Now the vultures come in for the kill.

Here’s the skinny on Basim:

Basim Elkarra of CAIR – Download Basim-Elkarra-of-CAIR
On June 2nd Tower Hamlets council will launch a new “Youth Council” at an event at the Water Lily Centre.1
One of the scheduled speakers is Basim Elkarra. He is the executive director of the Sacramento, California office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). He joined CAIR in 2004. He is a first generation Palestinian-American from San Francisco who was educated at Berkeley.
CAIR is an Islamic lobby group. It is notorious in the United States for its close links to American funders of Hamas, as revealed in the Holy Land Foundation case, and its defiance of the FBI’s counterterrorism operations. The FBI severed relations with the group in 2008. A detailed independent study of CAIR and its terrorist ties is available at this internet link: Investigative Project.
A poster published by CAIR’s San Francisco office earlier this year summarises the group’s attitude. It shows a shadowy FBI agent being shut out by a neighbourhood in the name of “resistance”.

on, forward the poster.

_{CAIR Imagery Makes Obstructionist Goal Clear}
The poster was a response to FBI investigations of alleged US supporters of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). Both have been designated terrorist groups by the United States. The poster was part of a CAIR event announcement which said “This type of investigation is a tool to repress our movements for social justice and divide our communities”.2
The rest of this note profiles episodes in Basim Elkarra’s record. They are typical of CAIR and show why he and CAIR should never be considered legitimate partners by Tower Hamlets council, especially in youth work.

Basim Elkarra of CAIR
Summary

•  Basim Elkarra has a record of strongly criticising US counter-terrorism investigations and portraying them as attacks on the “Muslim community”. He has also painted individual terrorism suspects facing serious allegations as innocents and one as a worthy Islamic leader. His goal – in line with CAIR’s modus operandi – is to foment division, paranoia and anger that is likely to frustrate the authorities in their vital work for the security of US citizens.
•     He has simply dismissed concerns about CAIR’s own links with terrorism.     His CAIR chapter has invited well-known American extremist Siraj Wahhaj to raise funds for
• the chapter and speak at its conferences.
•  When he was a student at Berkeley his Muslim Student Association invited a Hamas operative to address students. The operative had been convicted of terrorism offences in Israel and sentenced to five years in prison. Elkarra moderated the event, which was titled “Continuing Resistance in Palestine”.
•  While most of CAIR’s strongest opponents are on the right, CAIR has also been strongly criticised by Democratic politicians for aiding extremists. California Senator Barbara Boxer, a Democrat, took note of these concerns in 2006 and rescinded an award her office had given to Elbarra.
•  Many Muslims too do not support CAIR. In California, some of the fiercest criticism of Elkarra and his CAIR chapter has been expressed by Muslims.
•  In fact, one of the best ways to aid Muslims who oppose extremism is to challenge the opportunist and entryist political operations of CAIR.
