Keynote speaker was Keith Ellison, the first Muslim Congressman, pictured below with President-Elect, the Muslim-born Barack Hussein Obama, whose eligibility for being President is under investigation as we speak by the Supreme Court of the U.S., as there is question as to whether he was born in Kenya or in Hawaii, a question raised frequently as he refuses to provide real proof of birth inside America.
“According to the facts as carefully laid out in this complaint, CAIR has engaged in a massive cover-up of a criminal fraud in which literally hundreds of CAIR clients have been victimized and because of the CAIR cover-up they still don’t realize it. The fact that CAIR has victimized Muslims and non-Muslims alike demonstrates that CAIR is only looking out for CAIR and its ongoing effort to bilk donors out of millions of dollars of charitable donations thinking they are supporting a legitimate organization.”

REP. ELLISON CAIR KEYNOTE: ‘MUSLIMS AND THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION’ - TOP
(WASHINGTON, D.C., 11/20/08) On Sunday, November 23rd, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) will offer a keynote address, titled “American Muslims and the Obama Administration,” at the 14th Annual Banquet of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in Arlington, Va.
Nice going, Mr. Congressman Ellison. Keynote speaker at a Hamas/Muslim Brotherhood-linked event! Oh, and nice going, too, Barack... yet another notorious, disquieting association!
According to David Yerushalmi, “The evidence has long suggested that CAIR is a criminal organization set up by the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas to further its aims of stealth Jihad in the U.S.
“But our investigation and this complaint makes clear that CAIR’s criminal activities know no bounds.

November 24, 2008 – Washington, DC: Four clients of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) have filed a federal civil complaint alleging criminal fraud and racketeering against CAIR, a self-described public interest civil rights law firm. The lawsuit also names CAIR’s national leadership as individual defendants.
The defendants were served with the complaint and summons to appear while attending the CAIR 14th Annual Dinner Sunday night in Arlington, Virginia. Congressman Ellison (D-Minn) was a guest speaker at this affair.
The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, alleges that Morris Days, the “Resident Attorney” and “Manager for Civil Rights” at the now defunct CAIR MD/VA chapter in Herndon, Virginia, was in fact not an attorney and that he failed to provide legal services for clients who came to CAIR for assistance and who had paid for CAIR legal services.
While attorney David Yerushalmi represents the four plaintiffs in this particular lawsuit, two of whom are African American Muslims, the complaint alleges that according to CAIR internal documents, there were hundreds of victims of the CAIR-Days fraud scheme.
