Blogger Pamela Geller informs us that in this video a CAIR lawyer instructs Muslims not to call law enforcement to report suspicious activity, but to call their mosque or imam first, and the imam or mosque will then contact CAIR, who will then give a third-person account to law enforcement ¹.

Suppose some group opposed to the drug war in the US ran a video telling people that if they saw a drug deal going down or some children buying illegal drugs, not to call the police, but to call the group and the group would call the police with their version of what went down; what would happen? I'll tell you what, that group would be charged with obstruction of justice.

If someone solicits a Muslim to join a jihad against the west, that Muslim is duty bound to call American authorities, not Islamic ones. This is precisely why I wrote that Muslims cannot be good citizens of the countries they inhabit.

Atlas Shrugs, CAIR lawyer: If approached by extremist, call us first

This video from a CAIR lawyer instructs Muslims not to call law enforcement to report suspicious activity, but to call their mosque or imam first, and the imam or mosque will then contact CAIR, who will then give a third-person account to law enforcement.

Why? Why not contact law enforcement immediately? Could it be so CAIR can craft the story appropriately or coach the witness on what to say or not say? Why contact an imam or mosque with no law enforcement training, background, or authority?

Why then contact CAIR – a group whose founders have been convicted of terror-related offenses? A group who is currently under a RICO indictment for alleged crimes against Muslims? A group who has threatened to not cooperate with the FBI.

The FBI has gone so far as banning field agents from meeting with CAIR due to CAIR’s connection to Hamas – a terrorist group – although there are still meetings taking place.

Democratic and Republican politicians have recommended that the U.S. government not have any relation with CAIR – although CAIR’s chairman is North Carolina state senator Larry Shaw.

This video featuring a CAIR lawyer also instructs Muslims to report incidents to CAIR if they are approached regarding attacks of violence against “civilians”. In accordance with Islamic sharia law, attacks on non-civilians, are permitted. And according to CAIR, only attacks on civilians need by reported, so conversely, attacks on non-civilians – like the deadly jihad attack on two U.S. Army soldiers in Arkansas by a Muslim American, do not need to be reported as they are permitted.
