Pastor stages own protest against CAIR

Rev. O'Neal Dozier

A Pompano Beach, Fla., Christian leader who has alleged a huge Islamic mosque being built in the neighborhood of his 600-member church will be used to recruit people who hate America has scheduled a public protest of the project.

Rev. O'Neal Dozier, a former NFL player who now is minister at the Worldwide Christian Center, has announced plans for a protest rally in front of the partly constructed mosque at 10 a.m. on Feb. 6.

"It will be directly in front of the mosque that is being built. We're expecting hundreds of people to be there," he told WND.

"We hope to raise the people's consciousness even more towards what we're fighting here," he said.

Dozier has told WND the building is being constructed by the Islamic Center of South Florida with support from the national Council on Islamic-American Relations, which is becoming the subject of increasing protests around the country.

Citing CAIR's ties to terrorism, a Republican congressional candidate in Oklahoma recently announced a protest of a CAIR town hall meeting in his district.

Kevin Calvey, a candidate for Oklahoma's fifth district seat, pointed out the Washington, D.C.-based CAIR has been identified by several law enforcement sources as a front for the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.

"Oklahomans should be outraged that a group like CAIR is operating in our midst," said Calvey, a former state representative who prosecuted terrorists while deployed with the Army National Guard in Iraq.

Calvey, who was awarded the Bronze Star for his service in Iraq, noted the FBI broke official ties with CAIR one year ago because of the group's support of terrorism. And the organization previously was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Lands Foundation case brought by the federal government.

WND has reported in recent months on a book – "Muslim Mafia," by WND Books– based on a six-month undercover investigation that obtained internal documents confirming CAIR is acting as a front for a conspiracy of the Muslim Brotherhood to infiltrate the U.S. and help pave the way for Saudi-style Islamic law to rule the nation. The Egypt-based Muslim Brotherhood is the parent of many global terrorist groups, including Hamas and al-Qaida.

CAIR has sued the father and son who carried out the investigation, P. David Gaubatz and Chris Gaubatz, in an attempt reclaim the documents and stop further distribution of the book.

Dozier said the mosque membership presently meets in another building CAIR leaders say is too small. But Dozier has alleged the only reason CAIR needs a facility the size of the 30,000-square-foot project under construction is for recruitment of membership into a cadre of citizens who share a hatred of whites and the U.S. government.

Dozier, who has served on an advisory committee for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, said the only reason for such a large facility is to fill it with "angry black people," he told WND earlier.

That idea was more or less confirmed by Altaf Ali of CAIR, who told local reporters while the project was being developed, "They picked that spot because they were sympathetic to the black struggle and believed the feelings were mutual, especially since the persecution after 9/11."

CAIR brands itself as a mainstream advocacy group, but it is a spinoff of the now-defunct Islamic Association for Palestine, launched by Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzook and a former university professor in Florida, Sami al-Arian, who has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to provide services to Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Several CAIR staffers have been convicted on terrorism-related charges, and CAIR founder Omar Ahmad allegedly told a group of Muslims they are in America not to assimilate but to help assert Islam's rule over the country.

Also U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick, R-N.C., co-founder of the House Anti-Terrorism/Jihad Caucus, has warned: "Groups like CAIR have a proven record of senior officials being indicted and either imprisoned or deported from the United States."

Dozier told WND he expects significant recruitment of "young black and Hispanic males" by the mosque.

"The last thing we need is for the city of Pompano Beach, a very impoverished area, to become a breeding area for terrorists," he said.

The mosque protest Feb. 6 will be to "awaken those who are asleep, those who do not understand Islam is a very dangerous and evil cult," he said.

Political correctness must be set aside, he warned.

"This particular rally will serve as education, to educate the American people and the people around us to be concerned by the dangers of these mosques going up," he said.

"We're fighting Islam. We're not fighting some isolated Islamic extremists," he emphasized.

He said Americans need to be familiar with the jihad instructions in the Quran.

"Every man and woman who takes those verses to heart, they are going to act on those scriptures. They are not extremists. They are true, real Muslims. That's what American people don't understand," he said.

Dozier earlier brought a lawsuit over plans for the construction project, hoping to delve into the financial records of the Islamic organizations. He said the lawyers working on the project became "frightened" and wanted out of the battle, and that effort remains on hold.
