CAIR: Park51 Opponents Linked to Admirer of Terror Group Founder

Pam Geller, Robert Spencer partner with admirer of Kach, Kahane Chai founder RabbiMeir Kahane

(WASHINGTON, D.C., 8/19/10) -- The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)

said today that leaders of the main hate group opposing the planned Park51 Islamiccommunity center in Manhattan are partners with an individual who says he is an admirer

of the founder of two terrorist organizations.

In an Internet profile, John Joseph Jay, a founder of American Freedom Defense

Initiative (AFDI), named "rabbi meir kahna" [sic] as one of his "heroes and inspirations

in life." This is an obvious reference to Rabbi Meir Kahane, the founder of the groupsKach and Kahane Chai, which have been listed asDesignated Foreign Terrorist

Organizations by the U.S. Department of State.

Jay has in the past called for the killing of all Muslims. He wrote: "[T]here are noinnocent muslims. islam is subject to killing on grounds of political expediency on the

same basis as islam kills its victims, and islam cannot ethically and morally claimotherwise." [Note: Grammatical errors in the original text have been maintained.]

AFDI's other founders include anti-Islam extremists Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer,

the leaders of an affiliated anti-Islam hate group Stop the Islamization of America(SIOA), which is the main opponent of the planned Park51 Islamic community center in

New York City.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, one of the nation's leading civil rights activists, recently

endorsed an open letterby a coalition of Muslim, Sikh, Asian-American, and other civilliberties groups sent to FBI Director Robert Mueller seeking an explanation of why

Spencer was invited to train state and federal law enforcement officers.

SIOA is an outgrowth of a similar group in Europe that seeks to block the construction of

mosques on that continent. SIOA's sister organization, Stop the Islamization of Europe,"considers Islamophobia to be the height of common sense."

Spencer's group has invited anti-Islam Dutch extremist Geert Wilders to speak at aSeptember 11 protest against the proposed Islamic community center in New York City.

The independent national media watch group Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR)

identified Spenceras one of "Islamophobia's Dirty Dozen" who systematically "spreadfear, bigotry, and misinformation." In its report, FAIR said, "By selectively ignoring

inconvenient Islamic texts and commentaries, Spencer concludes that Islam is innately

extremist and violent."

Pamela Geller has claimed that "Hitler and the Nazis were inspired by Islam" and offered

rhetorical support to both accused Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic and slainApartheid-era leader Eugene Terre'blanche.

She has posted images on her blog that include a fake photograph of Supreme Courtnominee Elena Kagan in a Nazi uniform, another fake image of President Obama

urinating on an American flag and drawings purporting to depict Islam's Prophet

Muhammad as a pig. In a June 25 blog entry, Geller posted a video claiming thatMuslims engage in bestiality.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office refused to grant SIOA a trademarkbecause: "The applied-for mark refers to Muslims in a disparaging manner because by

definition it implies that conversion or conformity to Islam is something that needs to be

stopped or caused to cease."

CAIR is America's largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization. Its mission

is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties,empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual
