CAIR Sacramento Director Basim Elkarra's History Of "Not Credible" Death Threat Allegations By William Mayer

December 8, 2007 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Despite having caused talk show personality Michael Savage the loss of possibly a million dollars in advertising revenue, as CAIR Sacramento Executive Director Basim Elkarra sees it, he is the real victim in this matter.

Embroiled in a media war against the nationally syndicated talk show host and outspoken critic of radical Islam, Elkarra is now alleging that someone has threatened to kill him.

As quoted in a Sacramento Bee news story, reprinted in the December 6 CAIR news letter, "Elkarra said he met with the FBI in the past two weeks to discuss the threat on his life. Because the investigation is ongoing, Elkarra said he was instructed by the FBI not to publicly discuss into details. FBI spokeswoman Karen Ernst confirmed the FBI received information "regarding an alleged threat" and that the Sacramento field office was investigating."

Despite being told not to talk about the allegations publicly, the story somehow managed to get to the press, with Elkarra raising the ante, stating that the "threat" is related to his legal battle with Savage.
