New details emerge about the terror attack: Terrorist’s Mosque Redirects FBI to CAIR!

The terror attack on New Year’s Day in New Orleans, perpetrated by Shamsud Din Jabbar, who drove a truck adorned with an ISIS flag into a crowd on Bourbon Street, has drawn significant attention to local Islamic organizations and their responses.

📰 Key Developments:

1. Masjid Bilal’s Advisory:
   Following the revelation of the attacker’s identity, the mosque reportedly advised its congregation to direct any FBI inquiries to:

   • Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

   • Islamic Society of Greater Houston (ISGH).
     The mosque condemned the “terrible acts” but refrained from public comments beyond its advisory.

2. CAIR’s Role and Controversies:

   • History of Assistance:
     CAIR has previously been criticized for its support to families of terrorists, as reported during the 2015 San Bernardino attack.

   • Legal Implications:
     In 2007–2008, CAIR was designated an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror financing trial, leading to the FBI cutting ties with the organization.

   • International Designation:
     In 2014, the UAE listed CAIR as a terrorist organization, a designation opposed by the Obama administration.

3. Statements by CAIR:
   While extending condolences and condemning the New Orleans attack, CAIR emphasized that extremist groups like ISIS have been overwhelmingly rejected by the Muslim world.

💬 Public Response
The involvement of CAIR and ISGH in advising on FBI interactions has sparked discussions on their influence and actions during investigations into extremist activities. Critics argue this raises questions about transparency and accountability within such organizations.
