Wells Fargo logo is removed as a sponsor from CAIR-LA online banquet promotion.      The email for this campaign was deactivated after Wells Fargo's logo was removed from the CAIR-LA web site as a sponsor.

Florida Family Association sent out an email alert late on the evening of October 8, 2013 which reported that Wells Fargo was shown as the only Non-Islamic sponsor of the CAIR-LA banquet.

Thousands of concerned consumers emailed and called Wells Fargo officers and directors.

The Wells Fargo logo was removed from the CAIR-LA online banquet promotional photograph on October 9, 2013.   The before and after online brochures are shown below.  Please note that the remaining sponsors are now spread across the bottom of the after online brochure.

Obviously, Wells Fargo:

• Asked CAIR to remove their name.  CAIR certainly would not have done that on their own given the fact that CAIR’s Islamophobe report finds that Florida Family Association is one of their top Islamophobes.
• Does NOT want their name publicly associated with CAIR.  This is GOOD NEWS.

However, several questions remain:

• What did Wells Fargo do that caused CAIR to consider the financial institution as a banquet sponsor?
• Does this causal relationship between Wells Fargo and CAIR still exist?

Florida Family Association is encouraged that Wells Fargo does not want to publicly associate with CAIR as a sponsor.   This is a victory.  Thousands of concerned consumers sent emails that asked Wells Fargo the above questions.  However, no reply has been received.

More information regarding CAIR are posted below.

Omar Ahmad, Chairman and founder of Council on American Islamic Relations.

"Those who stay in America should be open to society without melting, keeping Mosques open so anyone can come and learn about Islam. If you choose to live here, you have a responsibility to deliver the message of Islam ... Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth."  Omar Ahmad told a crowded audience of Muslims in 1998 according to a San Ramon Valley Herald news report by Lisa Gardiner.  At the Islamic Association of Palestine’s third annual convention in Chicago in November 1999, Omar Ahmad gave a speech at a youth session praising suicide bombers who “kill themselves for Islam.” “Fighting for freedom, fighting for Islam — that is not suicide. They kill themselves for Islam,” he said.  Washington Times.

Nihad Awad, CAIR Executive Director

The Investigative Project on Terrorisom reports in part: Before helping to launch CAIR, NihadAwad worked as public relations director for the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP) in 1993 and 1994. A 2001 Immigration and Naturalization Service memo documented IAP's support for Hamas and found that the "facts strongly suggest" that IAP was "part of Hamas' propaganda apparatus." Awad publicly declared "I am in support of the Hamas movement," during a March 1994 symposium at Barry University.

CAIR, whose former name was “The Islamic Association of Palestine” issued this March 1, 2012 PRNewswire-USNewswire report: “The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today released a community toolkit designed to assist those seeking to preserve America's ideal of religious pluralism in the face of unconstitutional "anti-Sharia" bills that have been introduced in more than 20 states nationwide.”

Some provisions of Sharia law are antithetical to the rights and liberties afforded under the United States Constitution.

Muslims living in America should not be bound by U.S. law, according to an official of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, who delivered the controversial message to a Muslim crowd in Austin, Texas.  “If we are practicing Muslims, we are above the law of the land,” said Mustafa Carroll, executive director of the Dallas-Fort Worth CAIR branch.  World Net Daily March 2013.
