November 27, 2007 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - CAIR's world of deceit was again evident today, displayed outside the Townsend Street, San Francisco offices of AM 910 radio station, KNEW.

At the carefully prepared but poorly attended "press conference," representatives of the Council on American Islamic Relations [CAIR] castigated the allegedly "hateful" comments directed against Muslims made by the nationally popular talk show host Michael Savage, but in a redux of previous encounters with the organization, Basim Elkarra, Executive Director of CAIR's Sacramento branch [pictured to the left], refused to condemn the terrorist group HAMAS, specifically and by name, when challenged to do so by by this reporter - though he was given ample opportunity.

CAIR carries some heavy baggage in this regard. Last summer, it was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation [HLF] prosecution and the founder of CAIR's Texas chapter, Ghassan Elashi, was found guilty and sentenced in the Infocom terror case. Elashi remains a key defendant in the HLF trial.

Throughout its history, the Saudi funded CAIR has refused to condemn HAMAS, giving credence to charges made by critics and borne out in government documents that it is tied to the terrorist group via a complex of associations leading back to the Muslim Brotherhood.
