Whose bright idea was this?
CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. CAIR officials have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Ibrahim Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements about how Islamic law should be imposed in the U.S. (Ahmad denies this, but the original reporter stands by her story.) CAIR chapters frequently distribute pamphlets telling Muslims not to cooperate with law enforcement. CAIR has opposed virtually every anti-terror measure that has been proposed or implemented and has been declared a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates. Ayloush himself in 2017 called for the overthrow of the U.S. government.
“CAIR-Houston Welcomes ‘CAIR-TEXAS, Houston Day’ Proclamation by Mayor Turner,” by Naaz Modan, CAIR, December 6, 2018 (thanks to Dale):
(HOUSTON, TX, 12/6/18) – The Houston chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Houston) today expressed appreciation for a proclamation received from Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner in which he proclaims December 9, 2018 — the day of CAIR-Houston’s 17th Annual Banquet — as “CAIR-TEXAS, Houston Day.”…
cyrus basile says
the banquet will eat pizza and bacon, mixed grill of pork and black pudding. ps, pizza I take it from Naples (ita)
Jay says
This proclamation is an insult to United States of America and our constitution.
This uninformed progressive liberal mayor should be recalled and kicked out of office immediately.
This is complete utter insanity. How do people like Mayor Turner ever get elected??
Keep America soverign and great!! MAGA Trump 2020 ??????
Lu says
As Houstonian I am enraged and offended by all this … but not living within the City limits, can’t vote for the Mayor. During the November election I was several times Downtown Houston and in the most affluent areas of our city: posters sporting ‘Beto’ all over the place, in front yards of multi-million homes – as well as in front of the shacks at the city outskirts … Beto not Ted was the hot topic in our city. Thank god Ted won!
The plague progressed way to far and there’s no solution to it. We the People will eventually rise; probably not in my lifetime, though.
Sun says
Houston has a growing Muslim population. Since about 3 years, there are noticeable more women in head scarves in the city and the universities are hosting many International students from Islamic countries.
Brian hoff says
Texas will turn red either in 2020 or 2022.
gravenimage says
Texas is *already* red. What is “DefenderofIslam” babbling about here?
Brian hoff says
Then texas will turn blue. The change in population and the raise of Islam in america. Plus the dieing off of the angry old white man.
gravenimage says
Note that the appalling “Brian hoff” characterizes anyone who opposes Muslims raping and murdering Americans as “the angry old white man”. Dream on, Mohammedan.
Terry K. Coley says
Easy they pick someone like this to DESTORY our country.
Waltfava says
This is disgusting. This prick Sylvester Turner is a traitor to our country and the state of Texas and the city of Houston. The governor of Texas should overturn this proclamation by this scumbag. Every day these moslems infiltrate our government and their only objective is to overcome our country and the world with sharia law. When are we going to start RESISTING.
Obbop says
Total agreement with you, Patriot.
Is there a militia or REPUTABLE organization or association of LEVEL-HEADED clear-thinking patriots united to fight back against evil and traitors in a LOGICAL SANE RATIONAL manner using tested effective communication methods that advances the cause without leaving itself open to easy attack by the enemies of We, the People?
Hot-headed ignorant buffoons too often hurt their own cause by not using wisdom, common sense and tested tactics proven to work (think TV advertising, federal politicians spending BIG bucks for ads, etc). Copy the professionals and fight back against tyranny and traitors and CAIR and every other group spitting upon We, the People. I belong to Oath Keepers but, sadly, they are not declaring Islam an enemy. I support their 10 orders to not obey. I seek a PROFESSIONAL well-led group to take a stand against Islam. As former military I would also appreciate a PORTION of the organization devoted to some basic militaristic affairs… a way to stay in shape and… as the Boy Scouts state; “Be Prepared.”
A very complicated topic. Can anybody guide me to a legitimate quality organization/association dedicated to confronting the threats to the USA? If none exist who among us has the qualities needed to start that organization?
Dennis Habern says
As I have imparted many times in the past, get rid of Soros, get rid of Hillary Rotten Clinton,
and above all, get rid of Black Velvet, the former worthless Black turd, the POS, the token
Tar-Baby, the despicable, 44th Muslim POTUS. As long as these 3 worthless Musketeers
still maintain their freedom to support the “NEW WORLD ORDER,” ramrodded by George
“NAZI” Soros, and the “MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD,” ramrodded by 44, planet Earth and the
United States will not incur peace among men, until these 3 turds are no longer visible.

somehistory says
So Houston has a moslim…or at the least, a lover of same…as mayor. At the very least, he is an idiot. Most likely, he is trying to woo the moslims, and esp the terror group, to maintain his political office….that is, if he is not secretly a moslim.
The mb stated their purpose…to destroy the “miserable house from within.” Due to what’s-his-face not continuing with the trials of the c.a.i.r. members, they have been allowed to do exactly as the mb said they would.
Pity the poor people of Houston who didn’t realize what they were voting for…or didn’t vote for the idiot in the first place, knowing what he is.
The entire head of the camel is in the tent.
gravenimage says
Probably not. As I note below, a lot of clueless people think that CAIR is a just a civil rights group–that’s how they present themselves.
somehistory says
“Probably not” what? That he could be moslim? That he could be thinking they will help him stay in office? That I pity the poor people who didn’t realize what was going to happen with this idiot who is pandering to a terror group?
My field of study in university was Criminal Justice/Pubic Safety with a whole slew…all the u offered… on anti-terrorism. One of my professors was a Special Agent with the FBI (people outside the agency called him a “profiler”), who has written books on his craft and trained police departments all over the world.
People in public office can be given all kinds of information about groups that the average citizen doesn’t get. This fool mayor may understand who he is honoring..or he may be a complete fool and not know a blooming thing about anything.
I lived in Texas for twenty years. South, west and north central. He would had to have heard about clock boy and what happened with the city of Irving. Texas is big, but the news does get around. Besides the big fight over the textbooks and moslim influence.
My take is, if they do such as this guy, they *like* moslims and would have little trouble converting. I like Texas, but the state has a lot of fool politicians. And the state has had a lot of moslims for many years…going to the UT campuses all over.
However, I’m not going to argue with you. I don’t come here to argue. And you don’t need my permission to disagree. But I’m not coming back to this discussion.

Somehistory, all I meant is that Sylvester Turner is probably not Muslim–there is no indication that he has converted to Islam.
Lots of idiots have uncritically accepted the idea that CAIR is a civil rights group.
I never implied that you were not concerned about the people of Houston.

I doubt most mayors give most of this much thought–let alone really investigate what they are signing. This does *not* mean I am giving Turner a pass here–just that his signing this does not necessarily mean he is pro-Islam, let alone Muslim himself.

Somehistory, I have always respected your comments–and have frequently said so here, and have done so for some years. My only disagreement with you is that I don’t think there is any reason to suppose that Sylvester Turner is Muslim.
I am *certainly* not trying to drive you away from this thread. I appreciate all your contributions here.

True about CAIR–but many clueless people have bought their claim that they are a civil rights organization.
loki says
For those who aren’t aware, Mayor Turner is a scandal plagued (refusing to publicly identify beneficiaries of city recycling contracts worth hundreds of millions) incompetent (sat helplessly while Houston flooded last year) with an IQ of 12. CAIR has probably slipped him a few bucks here and there and there’s no more to it than that.
Brian hoff says
Almost all the mosques in the area open they doors to help the people homes where flood. While than evangelical christian super church didnot open they door to help the people. The head of texas state governments can overturn this but willnot as it is than locate matter and inference in local matter isnot alway wise.

“Brian hoff” has said that he wants to “help” the filthy Infidels strip away the protections of the Constitution, and leave them prey to the savagery of Shari’ah law.

“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The quran, the muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and islam, the only accepted religion on earth.”
~Omar Ahmad, CAIR FOUNDER
Stupid dhimmis are dragging us all off the cliff to a living HELL on earth.
TAKE NAMES AND KEEP NOTES. These islammunist traitors need to be held accountable for their heinous crimes against this once great nation, and against all of civilized humanity.

Please be polite–but let him know what CAIR is. If you are a Texan–or from Houston itself–all the better.
Norman Moffatt says
Somebody find a psychiatrist for Sylverter Turner, he needs treatment for his mental illness.
Mary Haller says
Everyone that is against this needs to contact the mayor and let your voices be heard. If he won’t listen, go higher – your state representatives. We need to sing loud and clear that we will not accept this in America.

Our country is being burned to the ground by these leftist useful idiots who, at their own peril, not only embrace islam but force it down the throats of fellow citizens.

Noboby is force Islam down your throat at all. The Koran make it clear that there will be no force use to convert people to Islam.
WPM says
Right just pay the Moslems a lot of “protection money” and be their slaves ,no need to convert. the unbelievers can live as dhimmis among Moslems. Mohammad said that all Jews and Christians should be expelled from Arabian and he did it in his lifetime.
