Erick Stakelbeck: Why Is Best Buy Embracing CAIR?


Why is Best Buy Embracing CAIR?


Regular viewers of the Stakelbeck on Terror show know all too well that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is the most notorious and influential of the Muslim Brotherhood's assorted American front groups. A quick refresher course on what CAIR is all about:


1) In 2007, CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism financing trial in American history.

2) In 2009, a federal judge ruled that "ample evidence" exists linking CAIR to the terror group Hamas.

3) In a 2011 congressional testimony, FBI Director Robert Mueller said "no formal relationship" existed with CAIR because of concerns about the group's national leadership.

Pretty nasty, right? So why is the retail giant Best Buy embracing CAIR? Our friends at radicalislam.org are on the case and spearheading a petition holding Best Buy accountable. Here's more (including links):

RadicalIslam.org has posted a petition April 23 which called on people to boycott "Best Buy" for financially supporting CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations).  You can join the almost 8,000 people who have signed the petition by clicking here to SIGN THE PETITION and letting Best Buy know that you won't stand to have profits from your purchase used to promote radical Islamic causes. After you have signed the petition, make sure to "Like" it and send a link to it to all your friends.

Read the whole post and follow the links for all the details. Despite the pressure, Best Buy is doubling down in its embrace of Hamas-linked CAIR--at least, for now.
