This is what the true Jew-hating face looks like of an alleged “civil rights” group.
Noora Shalash let her mask slip as a former leader in CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations). She was caught on camera committing a hate crime. Screaming “f**k the Jews” was merely a prelude to her recent foul-mouthed rant in a midtown Manhattan building. She suggested “ISIS” should “kill them all,” aiming most of her vitriol at an innocent passerby, a Hasidic Jew.
The incident made global headlines, but that was barely a blip on CAIR’s radar screen. Active members know better than to have anti-Semitic meltdowns in public. They get plenty of training and grooming in the more than 30 chapters spread throughout the U.S. and Canada: They must present themselves as “civil rights” leaders, “advancing justice for all.”
Apparently, Shalash was a former member of CAIR who hadn’t been associated with the Kentucky chapter for more than five years. That was most useful for CAIR leaders to distance themselves from the public spectacle. “Unacceptable” was the word used by CAIR -- which must protect its image of “defending the oppressed.” (No matter how many shared her sentiments.) She was on her own to confront criminal charges of aggravated harassment and second-degree hate crime.
If only all of CAIR’s public relations debacles could be swept under the “non-profit” rug like Shalash. Silencing the opposition is one thing (especially those “Islamophobes”), but now they are confronting ugly allegations, from their own rank-and-file in several chapters.
Now CAIR is facing the unthinkable prospect of a former CAIR leader turning the lawfare tables on them.
Lori Saroya was a former leader in CAIR who proved to be more than a troublesome former employee. She had the temerity to accuse the group of “taking money from foreign governments and having ties to terror” groups. She alleged the group was routinely “dishonest” about its use of funds.
