The Hamas-linked Council on American Islamic Relations is only worsening a “he said, she said” situation between Siwatu-Salama Ra and the Michigan Department of Corrections (DOC).
CAIR is trying to make the case that Siwatu-Salama Ra is a victim of religious discrimination. However, it seems clear that there would be no religious element to this story without CAIR’s involvement. A jury found her guilty of one count of felonious assault, which has nothing to do with religion.
CAIR claims the Michigan DOC will not allow Siwatu-Salama Ra to wear a hijab.
But:
Prison spokesperson Chris Gautz says she didn’t arrive at the prison with a hijab and also didn’t ask for one. The request instead came from attorneys representing her.
That’s not the only problem.
She also says she can’t get a copy of the Quran in prison and they won’t provide her with pork-free meals.
Nonetheless:
The prison says they don’t have any meals with pork and deny allegations of discrimination.
There’s more: CAIR claims MDOC prevented Religious leader Marna Mohammed from visiting Ms. Ra in prison.
However:
Gautz said that’s not how the system works.
“(You can’t just say) here’s this paper that says I’m allowed to come in as a clergy, I want to come into the prison today. That’s not how it works.”
Now consider this interesting bit of background missing from the news report. “Religious leader” Marna Mohammed is affiliated with the Masjid Wali Muhammad, where CAIR executive director Dawud Walid serves as assistant imam.
So let us take stock.
- Before CAIR’s involvement, the hijab issue was not a problem.
- If CAIR hadn’t demanded halal food for Ms Ra, the food problem would not exist
- And, finally, a person affiliated with CAIR through the Masjid Wali Muhammad is not helping, and is making things worse.
This is CAIR all over. They are not a legitimate organization. They are a front for Hamas pretending to be a civil rights group. They have to justify their existence by manipulating the media, creating problems, hate crimes, etc., where there are none.
Pregnant Muslim woman claims prison won’t let her wear hijab, practice faith
WJBK, April 18, 2018
DETROIT (WJBK) – The Council on American Islamic Relations has filed a lawsuit against the Michigan Department of Corrections on behalf of a community activist, saying the Muslim woman is not allowed to wear a hijab, not getting meals in line with her faith.
Siwatu-Salama Ra was sentenced in March for felonious assault and weapons charges. The woman is also 6 1/2 months pregnant but terrified of delivering her baby in prison.
“She is extremely fearful of having to give birth in prison, simply because of the way the prison has treated her, she has been treated,” her attorney, Victoria Burton-Harris, said.
CAIR filed the civil rights complaint against the DOC, saying that ever since she arrived at the women’s Huron Valley correctional facility, she’s been discriminated against for her beliefs.
“She has been unable to get a hijab or Islamic head covering, despite many requests by herself and our organization to provide her with one,” CAIR attorney Amy Doukoure said.
Prison spokesperson Chris Gautz says she didn’t arrive at the prison with a hijab and also didn’t ask for one. The request instead came from attorneys representing her.
“We immediately went to the prisoner and asked her if she would like one. She indicated that she would so we provided her with the form that she can fill out to purchase a hijab,” Gautz said.
The prison says the hijab will arrive next week.
That’s not the only problem. She also say she can’t get a copy of the Quran in prison and they won’t provide her with pork-free meals.
“MDOC would not allow her her own holy book to read, they tried to give her a bible. So see this is just a pattern,” Dawud Walid, Exec. Dir of CAIR, said.
The prison says they don’t have any meals with pork and deny allegations of discrimination.
“We have a paper trail and evidence that shows we took every step possible to meet the individual needs,” Gautz said.
Additionally, Religious leader Marna Mohammed says she was barred from visiting her in prison.
“The MDOC’s website specifically states that if I come with my letter from the religious organization and my ID that I would be allowed my initial visit. I was denied repeatedly.”
Gautz said that’s not how the system works.
“(You can’t just say) here’s this paper that says I’m allowed to come in as a clergy, I want to come into the prison today. That’s not how it works.”
The civil rights complaint was filed Wednesday and is still be investigated.

Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time
They are equal opportunity killers. They don’t even spare christian aid workers in America who help settle them http://bit.ly/2rr9tGh
No other immigrant groups are so ungrateful as jihadis. deport them and keep em out !
give her a Jewish Lawyer!
CAIR is trash, Islam is trash, Muslims are trash. Filthy sub-humans.
Much like Democrats.
Democrats prefer Muslims to any other group, certainly to Jews.
If this woman has already been found guilty of perpetrating an assault, then she should not be trying to play the victim. Violently attacking others is a very serious crime, but eating pork is not.
Simple, deport her, one way ticket to point of origin other then USA, or directly to somalia.
Direct to the hog farm. Hogs gotta eat too.
After my tenure as a TX correctional officer, it wasn’t religion or race that landed the inmates there, it was crime.
CAIR filed a lawsuit? What a shocker! ????
associating Cair with Hamas is only boosting their image ..
Hamas : the resistance movement against occupier power/land stealer israhell …
its like david and goliath ….
Hello again, semenjerkoff. Since you ADMITTED to fellating one of your male offspring, you should be able to answer the age old question: Why are ALL moslem males homosexuals?
Remember the movie “Silence of the lambs”.
That should be her prison garb and shacked legs.
Absolutely NO knife for her to practice her religion, either.
Would not surprise me to see CAIR hit by a terrorist attack one day. Disgusting and despicable human trash.
If she needs Halal food let MUSLIMS pay for it and bring it in.
But is Halal food LEGAL? What about animal cruelty?
About the hijab, if she is in a FEMALE prison, what’s the problem?
Besides it would be a security issue.
This is just bogus crap looking for special treatment.
Sessions needs to do SOMETHING about this…
Is Sessions AWAKE?
Congress led by rino’s Ryan and McConnell will not bring up Ted Cruz bill to name the Muslim Brotherhood the terrorist group they are. We have to replace them with patriots.
Lawfare – don’t you just love it ?
Feed the batch pork because there’s nothing else, call her bluff, it’s in the koran.
Deport the muslim swine or send her to GITMO and waterboard her with pigs blood or just behead her now.
Ship her mozzlem azz back to the desert she came from, where she can wear her hijab, read her satanic book, and eat all the halal she wants…..
F*ck ‘er … AND cair AND Islam AND all moslems. Nuke Mecca. Death to Islam. Come and get me, vermin.
Revoke citizenship, deport.
Deport to heaven—- and her 72 virgin goat boys/girls
than embalm her with pigs blood.
Dearborn needs to be burned out like inner city Detroit to rid it of the garbage and the stench.
Something like Sherman’s March to the Sea is needed for all muslum enclave cities and mass hangings for muslum collaborators.
