Walid Shoebat spoke at a Department of Homeland Security event in Rapid City South Dakota on May 11th. It was not promoted outside that state but the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) had been calling on DHS to ban former Muslim terrorist and anti-Islamic fundamentalist, Walid Shoebat from speaking there (link below).
CAIR has used with email, Press releases and personal contact from Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR spokesman. This can be confirmed via the link below and by the organizers at DHS in South Dakota.
No other major national media showed interest in the conference except CNN. Typically CNN ignores Walid and gives him little if any air time. CNN sent two investigative journalists Kathleen Johnston and Drew Griffin to cover the conference from Atlanta GA which is a long way to travel to visit a small conference in a state with such low population.
The only conclusion is that the journalists or others at CNN were tipped off to this event by CAIR and jumped to their rescue. CAIR’s obvious strategy is to discredit people like Walid Shoebat so that the truth does not get to the American people…
