CAIR'S STATUS AS UNINDICTED CO-CONSPIRATOR UPHELD

On October 21st, 2009, four Representatives from the U.S. Congress - Sue Myrick (R-NC), John Shadegg (R-AZ), Paul Broun (R-GA), and Trent Franks (R-AZ) sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder asking for more specific information about why the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial.

The letter - signed by all four congressmen - referenced the book Muslim Mafia by name because of the strong evidence it put forth via documents retrieved from CAIR offices that CAIR is trying to influence policy within the U.S. government. Via the Investigative Project on Terrorism, Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich's response basically reinforced the decision to name CAIR an unindicted co-conspirator in the trial. CAIR has been trying to get its name removed from that list for some time so this is certainly a blow to that group.

IPT reports CAIR making claims so blatantly fallacious they would make Barack Obama blush:

Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, and the trial exhibits show the Brotherhood created the Palestine Committee. CAIR officials adamantly deny any involvement with either Hamas or the Muslim Brotherhood. The Weich letter, however, shows that the Department of Justice has not wavered in its conclusion that the internal records it possesses prove a connection.

Here is the letter sent to Attorney General Eric Holder by four members of congress on October 21st, 2009 and here is the response, dated February 12th, 2010.

Check out Attachment A from the HLF trial that lists all of the individuals / groups that were implicated in the HLF trial, the largest terrorist fundraising trial in the history of the United States - defendants were convicted on all 108 counts. It really is little wonder that CAIR is so desperate to distance itself from the case. The longer time goes by; the more people learn about the Muslim Brotherhood and the Islamic threat to the west; and the more familiar they become with this case in hindsight, the more likely CAIR will find itself in a very untenable position with the American people.
