New Orleans terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar's Houston mosque, Masjid Bilal, urge members to refer FBI inquiries to CAIR

The mosque in Houston where terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar lived has advised its members not to talk to the press and to direct any FBI questions to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

Masjid Bilal sounded the alarm to congregants in a statement posted to social media on Wednesday addressing Jabbar’s heinous attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans that left 14 people dead.

“If anyone is contacted by the media, it is very important that you do not respond,” the mosque, located within walking distance of Jabbar’s dilapidated trailer, wrote in an announcement. “If approached by the FBI and a response is necessary, please refer to CAIR and ISGH.”

“It is crucial that we stay united at this time as we condemn these terrible acts,” the statement continued.

The White House severed ties with CAIR last year after the group’s co-founder said he was “happy” to see Hamas attack the Jewish state, killing 1,200 Israelis.

CAIR was also ordered by a judge in November to open its books and reveal its sources of funding after a defamation suit it filed against an ex-worker backfired.

The Muslim rights group had accused the former chapter leader of carrying out a “defamation campaign” against the organization, including by implying that CAIR is funded by foreign governments and terrorist organizations.

It’s unclear if Jabbar, who reportedly converted to Islam at an early age, ever attended Masjid Bila.

Jabbar’s ideology has come under a microscope after he flew an ISIS flag on the Ford pickup truck used in the New Year’s Day rampage.

He also posted videos online of himself pledging allegiance to the Islamic terror group leading up to the attack.
