Calvey Plans CAIR Friday Protest
Kevin Calvey doesn't like the Council on American-Islamic Relations and he's unhappy the group is planning a meeting tomorrow in Moore. Calvey (R-Oklahoma City) said he'll protest the meeting.
“CAIR has been identified by several law enforcement sources as a front group or propagandist for terrorists, including Hamas, and CAIR has been frequently denounced by the Anti-Defamation League for their anti-Semitic and anti-American statements,” said Calvey, who prosecuted terrorists while deployed with the Army National Guard in Iraq in 2007-2008. Calvey was awarded the Bronze Star medal for his service in Iraq.
“Oklahomans should be outraged that a group like CAIR is operating in our midst,” said Calvey. “I urge fellow Oklahomans to join me in peacefully protesting the CAIR meeting tomorrow night.”
CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in the US Justice Department’s terrorist-financing case against the Texas-based Holy Land Foundation. The FBI broke official ties to CAIR a little over a year ago due to concerns about CAIR’s ties to Hamas. See, e.g.:

CAIR, which styles itself as the nation’s largest Islamic advocacy group, announced it will host a “Town Hall” meeting on the subject of airport profiling and security. The meeting will be held Friday at 7:00 p.m. at Melody Hall, 2280 North Broadway in Moore.
Calvey urged protesters to arrive early to make their views about terrorism known. “This is not about protesting Islam. This is about protesting terrorism. There are many Muslims who cooperate with America and our allies in the fight against terrorism,” said Calvey. “This is about protesting one group that appears intent on pushing propaganda for terrorists and hampering America in the fight against terrorism.”
