Weeks after the Hamas murders, rapes and kidnappings of Oct 7, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) began meeting with attorney generals around the country.
Beyond CAIR’s existing effort to establish that Muslims, not Jews, were the real victims, the Islamist organization whose roots are linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, the parent organization of Hamas, were persuading top state prosecutors to go after Jewish anti-terror activists.
CAIR’s San Francisco Bay Area staff and Islamist allies met with California Attorney General Rob Bonta and urged him to enforce laws against what the group claimed was “doxxing”. Under California law, doxxing can be punished by up to a year in prison. Bonta has been considering running for governor and might be amenable to doing what it took to win Islamist support.
Shortly afterward, CAIR’s Massachusetts chapter met with Attorney General Andrea Campbell and urged her to create an “anti-doxxing task force” to target pro-Israel and Jewish groups. CAIR MA’s legal director claimed that it had met with Campbell to “flesh out what current laws might apply and what possibly new ones might help in these situations.” The attorney general’s office expressed concern about “harassment”, but fell short of promising to lock up journalists.
There’s no word on whether that task force was ever created, but the obvious target would have been the Jewish activists, organizations and journalists investigating antisemitism at Harvard.
CAIR was worried about anyone exposing its support for terrorism and it had good reason to be.
Next month, CAIR founder and executive director Nihad Awad, who had previously expressed support for Hamas, appeared at the American Muslims For Palestine (AMP) convention, and cheered the Oct 7 attacks, claiming that the Gazans would be “victorious” because they did not fear death, “if they would like to die, they will go to another heaven.”
No one would have known about this Jihadist propaganda if MEMRI, one of the research organizations collecting materials, had not seen it and then ‘doxxed’ CAIR’s boss by posting it.
And if CAIR were to succeed in criminalizing such investigations, the truth about its support for Islamic terrorism and the murder of Jews might have never seen the light of day.
When the video went public, the Biden administration was forced to temporarily break with CAIR and jettison the Islamist hate group from its previously published antisemitism strategy.
But CAIR was already looking for allies in the government looking to criminalize journalism.
California’s ‘doxxing’ laws, created to prevent cyberstalking against women by ex-boyfriends, penalized emails and pictures distributed “with intent to place another person in reasonable fear for his or her safety” leading to “unwanted physical contact, injury, or harassment.”
These laws were never meant to silence investigative reporting or cover for terror supporters.
CAIR’s ‘Guide to Doxxing’ however listed pro-Israel “websites such as the Canary Mission and the Jew Hate Database” as examples of “doxxing websites”. The cover of the ‘doxxing’ guide features a censored version of a billboard truck that Accuracy in Media (AIM) used in Harvard which had listed the student leaders who were behind the infamous Harvard Palestine Solidarity Committee (PSC) letter that had blamed Israel and not Hamas for Oct 7.
What CAIR was really looking to do was shut down and even criminalize sites like MEMRI and Canary Mission, and organizations like the David Horowitz Freedom Center, which had compiled numerous examples of Islamic leaders and activists who had endorsed the Oct 7 attacks and called for further attacks on Jews.
On October 13, Front Page Magazine published my article listing the open support for the atrocities by Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapters and key figures on campuses across the country. While we exposed them, CAIR was trying to criminalize such investigative journalism as “doxxing” and meeting with attorney generals to convince them to lock us up.
Contrary to CAIR’s claims, no personal contact information was being posted and no one was being doxxed. While Islamists and their allies have slurred Canary Mission as a “doxxing website”, it does not post the personal contact information of terror supporters, but does expose the activities of campus leaders and it republishes their public comments about killing Jews.
This isn’t “doxxing”: it’s journalism.
Efforts to make Canary Mission seem threatening reached their height in a hit piece at The Nation which claimed that “Canary Mission agents have also been involved in physical intimidation” when “two powerful men in yellow canary outfits” showed up at a George Washington University BDS vote and “then engaged in a strange and frightening dance”. An anti-Israel activist told the pro-terrorist leftist magazine that she found “these two fully grown, muscular men in these bird costumes, strutting… pretty unbelievably terrifying.”
No one is actually terrified of dancing canaries, but some CAIR figures and their Islamist allies hate being quoted and love adopting victimhood to cover up their attacks and abuses.
Whether it’s anti-Israel activists who claim to be terrified of the “strange and frightening dance” of the canaries or CAIR’s claim that quoting Islamists is the same as doxxing them, the pro-terrorist movement is once again claiming victimhood to be able to silence critics.
CAIR’s quiet campaign to criminalize journalism went mainstream with the release of its report “FATAL: THE RESURGENCE OF ANTI-MUSLIM HATE”. Despite the title, it could only point to one single supposed killing. Instead, the majority of its report was dedicated to complaining about the consequences of supporting Hamas.
CNN and other media outlets rushed to report on FATAL and promoted CAIR’s “doxxing” claims, but the Islamist group had bigger ambitions than just media profiles.
CAIR’s FATAL urged that “Congress must enhance anti-doxxing laws.” What would such laws look like? The report cited 18 U.S. Code § 119 which imposes sentences of 5 years in prison for anyone revealing information about the witnesses and jurors in a federal court case.
Having started with a year in prison in California, CAIR had worked its way up to five years.
Neither CNN nor any other media outlet seemed interested in considering the consequences of such a law on their own profession which is all about exposing what people say and do. If reporting the public statements of Hamas supporters is to be a crime, where does it end?
CAIR, like Hamas, excels at playing the victim even as it’s staging horrifying attacks.
Hamas supporters had rebranded Arab Muslims in Gaza, the majority of whom support Hamas, as victims of genocide. CAIR is now working to rebrand supporters of Hamas in America as victims of doxxing. And the only thing standing in the way of CAIR’s plans is the Constitution.
CAIR claims to be a civil rights group when it’s actually waging a war on civil rights.
For now, even in California, we can still safely quote CAIR boss Nihad Awad’s statement that, “the people of Gaza only decided to break the siege, the walls of the concentration camp, on October 7. And yes, I was happy to see people breaking the siege.” But for how long?
California’s Democratic Party establishment, from Gov. Newsom on down, bowed to CAIR, and demanded that Israel cease its attacks on Hamas. How long until they agree that anyone who commits the crime of quoting CAIR and other Hamas supporters should be locked up in prison?
“The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam,” Obama once preached and went on to lock up a man for making a YouTube video about Mohammed.
How long until states start locking up those who tell the truth about Islamic terrorism?
CAIR crying “doxxing” is an update on crying “wolf.” Those patriots who said, “The British are coming!” could have been said to be doxxing the innocent troops of Thomas Gage.
Good info, thanks Daniel!
CAIR is and has always been a Hamas front
Islamists are well practiced cry-bullies. They bully others, and are quick to play the victim. Sadly, they have a track record of success. The Biden regime is clearly afraid to stand up to them.
Who in the world wants to live with these protestors blocking bridges and stopping people from going to work and continuing in their daily functions??? Can you imagine cementing yourself or chaining yourself to barrrels so nobody can arrest you. The lawlessness and schemes are at an all time. high like never seen before.
Two hard-chargers should’ve heaved up the barrel & pushed it over the side – one by one.
Nihad Awad on the Oct. 7 attacks: Gazans would be “victorious” because they did not fear death, “if they would like to die, they will go to another heaven.”
Hamas is demanding the release of a thousand Israeli held Hamas prisoners as part of any cease fire. Seems those thousand picked surrender and life rather than Awad’s boast of martyrdom.
Also Awad said: ”they will go to another heaven”, indicating they had already been to heaven and there were more than one. Very confusing but maybe just my misunderstanding, Islamic teachings.
Has CAIR, any group or persons, sent aid, directly or indirectly, to A STATE DEPARTMENT LABELED TERRORIST GROUP?
Regardless of Hamas’ being elected, they are still on the TERRORIST LIST!
The signs at protests prove they are being organized by professional COMMUNIST GROUPS like ANSWER, The Party for Socialism and Liberation, The Revolutionary Communist Party, and the Communist Party USA…. WITH ALL ALWAYS SUPPORTING AMERICA’S ENEMIES!
How to get them? TAXES! Many of the leaders and main protesters ARE PAID so is the employer sending them W-2’s and 1099’s? If so, is the employee filing TAXES? Are these groups TAX-EXEMPT and forbidden to partake in political agendas for One Party?
Remember the movie The Firm? Mitch McDear went after The Firm FOR MAIL FRAUD, “TWENTY-YEARS PER INFRACTION! IT’S MORE TEETH THAT WHAT YOU (THE FBI AGENT HAVE!”
TAX FRAUD. AIDING AND ABETTING A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION! “DEATH TO AMERICA!” “DEATH TO JEWS!” OMG… WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED?
What more do we need?
Enough ammo for going after all of them.
Dump the rest in the middle of Kennebunkport as payback for Hillary-voting Bush41 importing all those 1000s of Iraqi soldiers into Dearborn & turning it into the islamic shithole it is now.
Nihad Awadwaddie thinks he is living in a Muslim country and that criticism of Islam is somehow a federal and state offense.
WadWaddie is a Muslim idiot who should be deported for running a Hamas scam. Steve Chavez is right. Get them on mail fraud and insurrection. And raid the Mosques and arrest the Imams. Shouldn’t be that hard. They are criminals to begin with. Implicate every Democrat and Republican RINO congress critter aiding and abetting it.
Read Kurt Schlichter’s book “The Attack”. When it finally comes you can bet that WadWaddie will be orchestrating it.
Every Muslim a terrorist. Every Mosque a weapons depot.
Well maybe “SOMONE” should just remove that problem named Nihad Awad. All-a-snack-bar. Salami Lick Um too
CAIR is head of the snake in the US domestic enemies list.
Up your Shaft CAIR
CAIR is a Muslim organization that supports anti-American activities. If their organization is made up of true Muslims, they have to believe in converting US citizens to Islam, and taking over US governments and instituting Sharia Law, from Dearborn and other small Muslim enclaves all the way to the Federal government. The Koran and other Islamic religious texts also command the Muslims to kill the “infidels” if they cannot be converted.
This is a fact. CAIR and its members and supporters do not belong in this country. They should be eliminated immediately!
” CAIR claims to be a civil rights group when it’s actually waging a war on civil rights. ”
That is the Truth.
Depraved psychopathic murderous, berserk violent delusional Islam has been a scourge on humanity for 1400 years.
Enough already.
JOSEPH MASSAD, who I have known since he was an undergrad at the University of NM, now a Columbia professor, CHEERED at the October 7th attack. Massad has been on every Horowitz list of most dangerous professors, including one in the top ten.
He was radicalized in the ’80s by Gerry Bradley, the head of the NM Peace Council, directly connected to the KGB’S WORLD PEACE COUNCIL, and who was head of the NM Marxist Educators for Socialist Action. This is when the CPUSA and the KGB teamed up to take over Central America so why were Massad, and Ahmad Assad, a man who held a protest in support of HAMAS, openly and not chanting for Palestinians, back in 2011 at UNM. Assad is now the President of the Islamic Center of NM. Imagine how he’s radicalizing that Mosque!
WOULD MASSAD AND ASSED SIDE WITH THE JIHADIST ATTACKS IN THE U.S. OR AGAINST THEM? “DEATH TO AMERICA!” WHERE’S THE DHS? They held conferences on Domestic Terrorists…. so where are they now? Oh, watching parents at school board meetings, Catholics, and MAGA White Supremacists?

Fortunately people are starting to wake up to the danger of the Islamic horde amongst us. They are not our friend. They do not like you. They do not like our culture. They do not wish to assimilate. They only wish to dominate. Read their Q’uran.
CAIR is doing their job here–protecting terrorists and their fellow travelers.
Groups calling attention to individuals who pull down posters of hostages, or post vile anti-Semitic commentary online, or support the rape, and torture and murder by Hamas on October 7th are doing a service to the nation, and are not “doxxing”. The perpetrators are “doxxing” themselves. They should be outed, fired from positions where they may endanger the public, or simply be in contrast to their employer’s desire to have sane human beings working for them.
Every American with a brain should have had an epiphany of the highest order when Bush threw down the welcome mat for the muslim world after 9/11. There is no need, here, for a list of examples citing how this was seen by islamists as a surrender by the kuffar. A little more than two decades later the “fruits” of the cowardice of our “leaders” is popping up all over America. We have been left on our own to defend ourselves, a monumental task, from an invasion our own leaders helped happen and continue to support.
CAIR’s existence inside the United States is evidence of the ignorance, naivete’, cowardice, or traitorous elements in our society.
CAIR fears the Truth like Vampires fear the Sunlight
the barbarians are inside the gates , it is now too late for america to be saved . once you allow islam into your city and treat it as a legitimate religious group you are done for . islam is a death cult not a religion . the founding fathers were correct , america will destroy itself and they will get all the help they need from muslims as demonstrated by the poisonous squad as they and their miserable enablers chant death to america and death to jews . america is a diverse culture and they are on the hit list just like jews . the heaven referred to by muslims un be knownst to them is in actuality hell . and there are no virgins waiting for them . americans can thank their representatives in d.c. dems. and rep. for the cancer they have allowed to infest their country and who are now white anting the structure that america was built on .
What do you mean by “white anting.” If it’s a typo, I can’t figure out what you mean to write.

Where is the hyperlink for this assertion. It’s not a talk or incident with which I am familiar.
