In light of the escalating jihad in the U.S. and around the world, Hamas-linked CAIR’s claim that studying the motivating ideology behind that jihad is unconstitutional demonstrates the truth yet again of what I have often pointed out: that CAIR opposes any and every counter-terror measure ever proposed or implemented, in an obvious attempt to clear away all obstacles before the advancing jihad.

The First Amendment is not a license to commit treason or sedition. And we cannot defeat an enemy we do not understand. Trump’s call for a commission to study the jihadis’ ideology is not in the least an infringement of the First Amendment rights of Muslims in America, who we are supposed to believe all oppose and reject jihad terror anyway.

Hamas-linked CAIR may be deeply afraid that Trump’s commission on “radical Islam” might find that jihad warfare against unbelievers is in Islam actually quite mainstream.
