Excerpt:
Before the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) was closed by the U.S. government as a designated global terrorist fundraising entity just weeks after the 9/11 attacks, Monzer Taleb (aka Munzir Taleb, Monzer Talib, et al.) was part of the infamous Al-Sakhra band, which toured the U.S. raising money for the HLF and the terrorist group Hamas. Taleb was so active in his fundraising pursuits that he was personally named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the HLF terrorism finance trial, which concluded this past November with guilty verdicts on all 108 counts for the defendants.
Monzer Taleb continues his Hamas fundraising this weekend as a keynote speaker at the annual banquet of the Cleveland chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). During the HLF trial, FBI Agent Lara Burns testified that CAIR was a front for Hamas, and CAIR was also named an unindicted co-conspirator in the case. As a result of the substantial evidence presented during the trial tying CAIR to the international Islamic terrorist network, the FBI recently cut its ties to CAIR, as has the Columbus Police Department.
