Now CAIR is at it again in Orlando, <a href=\"http:\/\/counterjihad.com\/cair-hamas-linked-islamist-group-lawyers-family-mosque-suspects\">as Paul Sperry reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>If you are a member of the media or even an investigator with the FBI seeking to question members of the Orlando\u00a0terrorist\u2019s family or mosque, you will now have to go through a federally listed terrorist front group \u2014 the Council on\u00a0American-Islamic Relations.<\/p>\n<p>Calls to Omar Mateen\u2019s father and other relatives are now redirected to a phone number for a CAIR attorney, and another\u00a0CAIR lawyer is sitting in on FBI interviews with suspects at Mateen\u2019s radical mosque in Fort Pierce, Fla. \u2014 even though\u00a0the FBI has suspended formal ties to CAIR over the group\u2019s association with terrorist groups.<\/p>\n<p>CAIR lawyered up a suspect who was interviewed by two FBI agents at the mosque for about 30 minutes on Friday. The\u00a0CAIR lawyer, Omar Saleh, also happens to be a longstanding member of that same mosque \u2014 the Islamic Center of\u00a0Fort Pierce \u2014 as well as a friend of the Mateen family. Mateen\u2019s sisters, who work at the mosque and own property on\u00a0the same street, follow local CAIR coordinators on social media.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As Paul notes&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Last year, CAIR intervened on behalf of the family and mosque of the San Bernardino terrorists, even holding a press\u00a0conference for family members to help spin their story before investigators had a chance to talk to them. Within hours of\u00a0the attack, CAIR swooped in and lawyered up key witnesses and suspected co-conspirators in the plot, including\u00a0relatives and friends of the shooters along with leaders of their mosque.<\/p>\n<p>CAIR officials defended the parents of the lead shooter even as they were placed on a federal terrorist watchlist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose family members would have been key (persons of interest) for those FBI agents and other law enforcement agencies to interview after the immediate fact, to try to find out what the motives were and why this\u00a0attack took place,\u201d former FBI agent Chad Jenkins said at the time. \u201cInstead, they\u2019re doing public appearances with that organization.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Again all of this is a reminder that CAIR is not a civil rights organization. There is good reason why so many people in and out of law enforcement are concerned about its terror ties. And the left&#8217;s eagerness to ignore the facts while championing its narratives.<\/p>\n<p>Read the Original Article at <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.frontpagemag.com\/point\/263290\/cair-now-providing-aid-orlando-jihadists-family-daniel-greenfield\">Front Page Mag<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If this sounds really familiar, flash back to San Bernardino where CAIR jumped in to stand with the terrorist&#8217;s family.
