CAIR exige qu' Air France permette à son personnel de porter le hijab.
Le Conseil des relations américano-islamiques (CAIR) demande à Air France de présenter des excuses à une employée musulmane travaillant à l’aéroport international Washington-Dulles qui aurait été renvoyée à la maison après avoir refusé d'enlever son foulard islamique, ou hijab.
L'employée musulmane a déclaré à CAIR que lorsqu’elle s’est présentée au travail à l’aéroport au début du mois comme agent au service des passagers d’Air France, on lui a dit qu’elle ne pouvait pas porter son foulard en raison du code vestimentaire d’Air France. L’employée a refusé d’enfreindre ses croyances et pratiques religieuses en enlevant son hijab, et elle a aussitôt été renvoyée chez elle.
Dans une lettre à Patrick Roux, vice-président Amérique d'Air France, l’avocat de CAIR, Gadeir Abbas, écrit notamment ce qui suit: «Il est clair qu’un code vestimentaire discriminatoire imposé en France n’a pas préséance sur les lois américaines qui protègent la liberté religieuse du personnel. Air France doit se conformer à la loi américaine et accorder des accommodements religieux raisonnables à son personnel.»
Abbas a indiqué que CAIR demande des excuses officielles d'Air France ; la clarification de la politique de la compagnie aérienne sur les accommodements religieux pour le personnel ; des ateliers de sensibilisation à la diversité pour le personnel d’Air France à l’aéroport international Washington-Dulles ; et une indemnité pour la perte financière et la détresse émotionnelle subies par l’employée. Il a ajouté que ce cas est symptomatique de l'augmentation généralisée des sentiments anti-musulmans dans la société américaine. […]

CAIR est un groupe de façade des Frères musulmans. Ils sont spécialisés dans le djihad juridique en vue d'implanter la charia partout dans la société. Lire sur cette mafia musulmane ici et ici.
Les «ateliers de sensibilisation à la diversité» réclamés par CAIR ne sont rien d'autre qu'une façon pour les lobbies islamistes de mettre le pied dans les entreprises pour leur dawa (prosélytisme). C'est également une source de revenus pour les islamistes qui les offrent. Les aéroports font partie de leurs cibles privilégiées.

Une bonne nouvelle, les dons à CAIR ne sont plus déductibles des impôts :

CAIR Loses IRS Status
IPT News
June 22, 2011
Donations to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) no longer are tax deductible after the organization was among 275,000 tax-exempt organizations purged earlier this month by the Internal Revenue Service.
The groups failed to file required annual reports, known as form 990s, detailing their revenues and expenses, for three consecutive years. CAIR had been a non-profit on its own, but in 2007, the IRS approved a separate tax-exempt CAIR Foundation. The foundation never filed any subsequent reports. Both the foundation and CAIR national are on the purge list.
CAIR has 30 state chapters throughout the country, many of which have their own non-profit designations which remain active.
While the IRS believes most of the organizations stripped of status have shut down, those still operating can apply for reinstatement. Meanwhile, CAIR's web site continues to solicit donations by touting them as tax deductible two weeks after the IRS issued the list and notifications were sent to all 275,000 purged groups.
Donors still could deduct the money on their tax returns if CAIR is reinstated between now and April 15. All the purged organizations have 15 months to seek reinstatement. But it is unclear whether CAIR will file the required papers or whether their explanation about past reporting failures will be enough to satisfy the IRS.
"This listing should have little, if any, impact on donors who previously made deductible contributions to auto-revoked organizations because donations made prior to the publication of an organization's name on the list remain tax-deductible," an IRS statement said. "Going forward, however, organizations that are on the auto-revocation list that do not receive reinstatement are no longer eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions, and any income they receive may be taxable."
To regain its exempt status, CAIR must file the missing three annual reports, along with a new application for exempt status. Finally, it must explain why it failed to file the 990s for three consecutive years and explain any new procedures which will ensure future compliance.
The annual reports include financial information on donations and other sources of income, operating expenses and names and payments given to directors and key staff members.
The CAIR Foundation won exempt status in 2007 and then never filed any annual reports. That year, the Washington Times reported that CAIR's membership plummeted by 90 percent, from a high of 29,000 people in 2000 to less than 1,700 in 2006. CAIR vehemently denied the report when it was issued. But a year later, when the organization sought to have its name removed from a list of unindicted co-conspirators in a Hamas-financing prosecution, CAIR attorneys tied the diminishing support to the 2007 co-conspirator list.
"Furthermore, the amount of donations that they have been receiving has dwindled well below their monthly budget, and as their associational activity necessarily relies upon donations from the public, the government's labeling of them as an unindicted co-conspirator has chilled their associational activity."
Anecdotal information indicates the group increasingly has turned to foreign donors for operating revenue. In 2006, State Department records obtained by the Investigative Project on Terrorism show, CAIR sent delegations to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates seeking millions of dollars in support.
The delegation included CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad, spokesman Ibrahim Hooper, then-board chairman Parvez Ahmed, and current chairman Larry Shaw.
In 2009, Awad solicited Libyan Dictator Muammar Gaddafi to help underwrite a program to distribute 1 million copies of the Quran to government officials and the general public in America and to help start up a new foundation Awad was trying to launch.
When it applied for exempt status, the CAIR Foundation told the IRS that it would solicit "nationwide, although it is expected that the largest support will come from Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia, where CAIR-Foundation's visibility is most prominent to potential donors."
