CAIR’s trying to make it easier to bring terror back to New York.
CAIR-NY is having a very important meeting tonight. They are trying to have the NYPD Counter-terrorism unit dismantled because they feel like Muslims are being singled out and spied on based on their culture.
Here’s the invitation to tonight’s “strategy” meeting….
Dear friends,
CAIR-NY would like to invite you to attend a strategy meeting on Tuesday, October 4, for an urgent discussion of the NYPD-CIA “Demographics Unit” debacle.
WHAT: Town Hall Meeting to discuss NYPD/CIA “Demographics Unit” spying in the New York Muslim community
WHERE: International Action Center, 55 W 17th St, Suite 5C, New York, NY
WHEN: Tuesday, October 4 at 6:30pm
CONTACT: CAIR-NY Civil Rights Manager Cyrus McGoldrick, Phone: 203-206-6883, Email: cmcgoldrick@cair.com
As you should have heard, the Associated Press has recently uncovered a covert and illegal NYPD unit which surveilled and collected intelligence on people and ideologically mapped communities based on their ethnic identity (“Ancestries of Interest”) rather than any suspicion of crime. The program was developed in the months after 9/11/01 with the help of CIA agents and is still in use, raising questions, concerns, and general outrage over the racist and illegal targeting of Muslim communities by the NYPD.
An NYPD Powerpoint presentation (supported by interviews of over 40 NYPD, CIA, and FBI agents by the Associated Press) show that this unit is tasked with investigating communities rather than crimes, mapping American Islam within 100 miles of New York City, spying on Muslims far outside of their jurisdiction, and identifying “ethnic hot-spots” in order to deploy undercover agents to “root out extremism.”
NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly and Mayor Michael Bloomberg have either been willfully ignorant or criminally evasive about the dangers of the spy program, and will not change anything until they are forced to by a court or government. We MUST educate, mobilize, organize and act to make our government and law enforcement accountable to us.
When our police criminalize our beliefs and our dissent, all Americans must stand up to defend our principles. Join us on Tuesday, October 4, at 7pm, to discuss strategies and projects for successfully dismantling the NYPD-CIA spy program, standing with and supporting affected communities. This meeting will be open to all concerned community members, leaders and organizations. We look forward to hearing your questions, concerns, and ideas at this and future organizing meetings.
Peace and Blessings,
Cyrus McGoldrick

No surprise here. They love to take advantage of our freedoms to advance their cause and desire to spread Sharia around the globe. I wonder if Bloomberg will cave and do away with the counter-terrorism unit? My guess would be yes.
Perhaps he needs to be reminded as to why there is a need for this unit…
That’s not an Irish-Catholic flying that plane. All of America needs to be always vigilant because radical Islam is happening everywhere. Unfortunately, we live in a world where we have to have counter-terrorism operations.
If any of our readers live in the New York area….we encourage you to go to this meeting. It would be great to get a “ground report” on what is said. I really hope that more people show up to protest CAIR’s efforts than support them. Bloomberg’s all about votes so he needs to know that if he caves into CAIR it could mean political disaster.
It’s his job to keep New York safe.

The sad fact is the vast majority of terrorist acts committed in the last two decades have been done by Muslims inspired by their religion. But if CAIR and other Islamic apologists have their way that fact will never be mentioned. Our real problem is all the PC useful idiots who will go along with white washing Islamic terrorism. Progressives are our Achilles heel.
I just keep wondering what the liberals expect to happen to them when these terrorists finally take over our country. Will they have special hats so no one will bother them? Wonder this about our electeds, too. Will only white Christians be cannon fodder?
Islam is not adaptable enough to fit in here in America. We don't want it and it hates us. So, brand it a terrorist cult and ban it.
Agreed.
I am sure it is all a misunderstanding, just like this was: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/01/13/cair-says-an…
Yeah, I view Liberals and Islam in the same light. Enemies of liberty.
"The program was developed in the months after 9/11/01 with the help of CIA agents and is still in use, raising questions, concerns, and general outrage over the racist and illegal targeting of Muslim communities by the NYPD."
Good grief. Now Muslim is a race? It amazes me that liberals are incapable of embarassment at the stupid cr*p they spew.
Ditto to what Proud Infadel said.
Please, Rudy, go back to NY & kick the bloomin' idjit OUT of the mayor's house!!! Pretty please???
