‘Please refer to CAIR.’

Not suspicious at all.

Masjid Bilal, the mosque attended by Shamsud Din Jabbar, the New Orleans Car Jihadist, appears to have sent out a message to members, urging them not to talk to the media and “if approached by the FBI and a response is necessary please refer to CAIR and ISGH”.

CAIR is an Islamist group with a history of supporting terrorists. ISGH is the Islamic Society of Greater Houston.

The mosque is essentially telling members not to talk to the FBI but to lawyer up and get the backing of terror advocates at CAIR to handle the interactions. And that is what CAIR advises as well.

The message also urges that “we stay united at this time as we condemn these terrible acts.” That seems to be a prompt to condemn the Islamic terrorist attacks.

What kind of people need this advice?

New York Post reporters stopped by his home.

The terrorist who killed 15 people when he plowed his truck down crowded Bourbon Street in New Orleans was an American-born military veteran who was living in a run-down trailer park where he kept sheep and goats in the yard — just blocks away from the local mosque.

One neighbor told The Post she spoke only Urdu, Pakistan’s national language.

The neighborhood is also within walking distance of the local mosque, Masjid Bilal — where no one answered the telephone on Wednesday.

No doubt.
