CAIR Street, Davie, Florida

Pamela Geller reports that CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) has 'adopted' a street in the city of Davie, in heavily Jewish Broward County, Florida. CAIR was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial currently taking place in Texas for its role in financing the Hamas terror organization.

On noon Friday, December 18th, Americans Against Hate (AAH), the anti-bigotry, terrorism watchdog group, will be holding a rally against the Broward County government for giving a public street sign to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Hamas-associated organization. The sign, which is located in Davie, Florida just outside Broward Community College and Nova Southeastern University, is part of Broward’s “Adopt-A-Street” program.

CAIR was created by Hamas operatives in 1994 and was recently named by the U.S. Justice Department a co-conspirator for a Hamas financing trial taking place in Dallas, Texas. Since the trial, the FBI has refused formal contact with CAIR.

The demonstration will take place toward the end of Hanukkah, a fact whose symbolic nature is not overlooked by AAH.

AAH Chairman Joe Kaufman stated, “On Hanukkah, millions of people around the world celebrate the triumph of the Jewish people over those who wished to destroy them. We want Broward County to recognize the fact that those involved with Hamas, like the Greeks 2000 years before them, have a similar goal to destroy the Jews. And we want Broward County to know that it allowed a sign to be ‘adopted’ by a group connected to Hamas.”

What was the county executive thinking when they agreed to this?
