Yet more corruption and waste of taxpayers’ money. Are all LIBs complete nitwits or what? I guess they are parasites and like to support all sorts of uncivilized parasites with stolen OPM (Other Peoples’ Money).

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is the largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S., recognized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that engages in lobbying, legal advocacy, and media relations. However, it is a highly polarized entity, frequently praised by civil rights allies while facing serious, persistent allegations of ties to extremism from critics and some government officials.

Founded in 1994, CAIR functions as a grassroots organization focused on promoting an Islamic perspective, protecting civil rights, and countering Islamophobia, with offices throughout the U.S..Legitimacy and Support: Many elected officials and community leaders have recognized and praised CAIR for its role in defending civil liberties and fostering community dialogue.

CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2007 Holy Land Foundation trial, which involved funding Hamas, although it was not charged with a crime. Critics, including some lawmakers, argue it has ties to foreign terrorist organizations, and it was designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates in 2014.

In November 2025, the Governor of Texas designated CAIR as a foreign terrorist organization. In April 2026, federal legislation was proposed to designate CAIR as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist Organization and remove its tax-exempt status.

CAIR denies all allegations, stating it is a legitimate American Muslim organization targeted by “Islamophobic” campaigns and that it operates in full compliance with U.S. laws.

As of 2026, CAIR maintains its status as a registered non-profit, but it is under increased scrutiny from lawmakers seeking to ban its operations or investigate its funding.
