CAIR's March 23 Fundraiser in LA

Hussam Ayloush

As previously reported, the Southern California chapter of CAIR will be holding yet another fundraiser on March 23, in which Minnesota Congresswoman  Ilhan Omar (D) will be a featured speaker. In the wake of her recent anti-Jewish statements, it is no coincidence that CAIR, whose SoCal director, Hussam Ayloush, has his own history of anti-Jewish statements, would host this already disgraced freshman member of Congress.

But it gets worse. Also appearing at this annual whoopey is CAIR’s Florida director, Hassan Shibly, also no stranger to controversy. Shibly is most recently in the news because he is representing none other than Hoda Muthana, the woman who went off to join ISIS and now wants to return back to the US. Presently, the Department of State is refusing to allow her to return. There is a dispute as to whether she is a legitimate US citizen. Shibly argues that she is a citizen and should be allowed to return.

I had forgotten, but Muthana came up in Fousesquawk back in 2015 when she left the US. Back then, Shibley, who is an attorney, was representing the Muthana family in Alabama.

But how coincidental that Ayloush, who back in 2015 was speaking at an event entiltled, “The Crisis of ISIS” in Garden Grove and was complaining that everybody was talking about the “about 20″ Muslim Americans who had gone off to join ISIS in Iraq and Syria while nobody was talking about the “thousands” of Jewish American men who had joined the Israel Defense Forces “killing the people of Gaza”. And now he is hosting the very man representing one of those jihadists. Small world, indeed.

And returning to Omar, it has recently been disclosed that back in 2016, she was writing to a judge arguing for leniency for 9 Muslims who had been arrested for trying to join ISIS themselves.

Given the natuire of the personalities at this March 23 event, I guess the theme will be something along the lines of, “Bring our troops home.”
