Second CAIR's interpretation of our US Constitution/Bill of Rights is laughable to say the least.
Note: within our Constitution/Bill of Rights/US Laws sedition/treason/committing Jihad against the United States of America is considered a act of war and is punishable by death!
All US citizens natural born or naturalized are liable under the laws of treason...those not citizens can be considered spys under the war powers act...enemy combatants.

Trump is jihad group’s worst nightmare. The fact is Trump’s
comparison to the Cold War is spot on. Islam, like Communism, is a
political ideology a with religious component.
Groups like CAIR aid and abet terrorism and should be prosecuted. The
Department of Justice is sitting on a “mountain of evidence” against
CAIR and other Muslim Brotherhood groups. Obama scuttled those
prosecutions. Trump will right that wrong.
“CAIR To Donald Trump: The Constitution Says Government Can’t Study or Criticize Radical Islam,” Breitbart, August 17, 2016:
An Islamic group tied closely to jihadi terror groups is complaining
that Donald Trump will violate the constitution by helping Americans
better understand the nature of radical, jihad-promoting
Islam.
“One of my first acts as President will be to establish a Commission on
Radical Islam – which will include reformist voices in the Muslim community,” Trump declared in a reformist foreign policy speech on Monday.
“The goal of the commission will be to identify and explain to the
American public the core convictions and beliefs of Radical Islam, to
identify the warning signs of radicalization, and to expose the networks
in our society that support radicalization … [and] we will pursue
aggressive criminal or immigration charges against anyone who lends
material support to terrorism,” he said.

That promise of legal charges is a direct threat to the jihad-linked
Council on American-Islamic Relations, which has many material links to
domestic and foreign groups that support Islamic war.
CAIR has been declared a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates and was named by federal prosecutors as an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas-funding operation.
CAIR responded to Trump’s speech by suggesting that rhetorical and
religious support (although not actions) for Islamic jihad terrorism is a
constitutional right, both for Americans and for would-be immigrants
who wish to introduce jihad and other Islamic ideas into the United
States.
Trump’s proposal for a ‘commission’ that would identify
for Americans the tenets of ‘radical Islam’ crosses the line into
government interference in religious beliefs. Will a Trump
administration entangle itself in interpretation of [Islamic] religious
principles? Who will Trump appoint to decide what constitutes ‘radical
Islam’? His current stable of Islamophobic [sic] advisers indicates that
this commission would be packed with anti-Muslim bigots.
This government promotion of a state version of a particular religion
would violate the First Amendment and put America on a path to a
society in which those in power get to choose which beliefs are
‘correct’ and which are ‘incorrect.’
CAIR is so closely entwined with Islamists and
with jihadis
that court documents and news reports show that at least five of its
people — either board members, employees or former employees — have
been
jailed or
repatriated for
various financial and
terror-related offenses.
Breitbart News has published
evidence highlighted by critics showing that
CAIR was named an
unindicted co-conspirator in a Texas-based criminal effort to deliver $12 million to the Jew-hating HAMAS jihad group, was founded with
$490,000 from HAMAS, and that the FBI bans top-level meetings with CAIR officials. “The
FBI policy restricting
a formal relationship with CAIR remains … [but] does not preclude
communication regarding investigative activity or allegations of civil
rights violations,” said an Oct. 2015 email from FBI spokesman
Christopher Allen.
In 2009, a federal judge concluded that “the government has produced ample evidence to establish the associations of
CAIR… with Hamas.”
The United Arab Emirates has included
CAIR on its list of Muslim Brotherhood groups. CAIR has posted its defense
here.
Trump’s call for a better understanding of Islam is part of his plan
to reorient U.S. foreign policy to crush and delegitimize political
Islam.
That is why one of my first acts as President will be to establish
a Commission on Radical Islam – which will include reformist voices in
the Muslim community who will hopefully work with us. We want to
build bridges and erase divisions.
The goal of the commission will be to identify and explain to
the American public the core convictions and beliefs of Radical Islam,
to identify the warning signs of radicalization, and to expose the
networks in our society that support radicalization.
This commission will be used to develop new protocols for local
police officers, federal investigators, and immigration screeners….
Finally, we will pursue aggressive criminal or immigration charges
against anyone who lends material support to terrorism. Similar to
the effort to take down the mafia, this will be the understood mission
of every federal investigator and prosecutor in the country.
To accomplish a goal, you must state a mission: the support
networks for Radical Islam in this country will be stripped out and
removed one by one.
Immigration officers will also have their powers restored: those
who are guests in our country that are preaching hate will be asked to
return home
…. But just like we couldn’t defeat communism without
acknowledging that communism exists – or explaining its evils – we can’t
defeat Radical Islamic Terrorism unless we do the same.
This also means we have to promote the exceptional virtues of our
own way of life – and expecting that newcomers to our society do the
same.
Pride in our institutions, our history and our values should be
taught by parents and teachers, and impressed upon all who join our
society. Assimilation is not an act of hostility, but an expression of
compassion.
Our system of government, and our American culture, is the best in
the world and will produce the best outcomes for all who adopt it.
This approach will not only make us safer, but bring us closer
together as a country. Renewing this spirit of Americanism will help
heal the divisions in our country. It will do so by emphasizing what we
have in common – not what pulls us apart.
Jihad
is part of orthodox Islam,
which also opposes the separation of religious law and the state. That
makes it very different from Christianity, which theologically postpones
the enforcement of religious law into the afterlife and so can
theologically co-exist with secular governments, such as the United
States government.
Islam’s twinning of jihad with religious piety explains the relative
frequency of bloody jihad violence throughout the Muslim world,
especially when inflicted on non-Muslims in the United States, Paris,
Germany snd many other countries.
Also, Islam’s focus on Earthly rule, says critics, means that it is a
hybrid idea that combines religion (which gets the protection of the
First Amendment) with a violent political movement that can be
constitutionally suppressed.
For example, Islam’s politicized ‘sharia law’ endorses the
murder of Islam’s critics and
of ex-Muslims
— repeatedly, endlessly, forcefully — and its recommendations are
deemed divine commandments by numerous killers and would-be killers.
Also, the Koran — which observant Muslims say is a list of verbatim commands from their deity, Allah — tells Muslims to “Fight those
who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider
unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not
adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture –
[fight] until they give the jizyah [penalty tax] willingly while they
are humbled.”
In contrast, some Western Muslims are trying to develop a
modern, pacific Islam that emphasizes the long-discarded early and
relatively peaceful commandments in Islam.
