The real face of CAIR
American Thinker ^ | 2 Jun, 2026 | Robyn Dolgin

CAIR-LA crosses a very distinct line in its attack on UCLA's guidelines against anti-Semitism.

Hussam Ayloush deserves credit for cultivating his reputation as a “moderate Muslim.”

He has proven effective at winning over audiences -- including liberal Jews -- all the while aiming many of his relentless anti-Israel attacks at them. His worst detractors would concede he qualifies as the educated and polished face of CAIR-LA (Council on American-Islamic Relations).

Ayloush showcased his rhetorical skill at the time he issued a “public statement” opposing UCLA’s new guidelines to Combat Antisemitism (released by Chancellor Julio Frenk and a 15-person action group). Many Jewish parents of UCLA students’ were gobsmacked by the “perverse logic” of Ayloush’s statement posted last month: The main message behind the “CAIR statement” was to oppose the university’s new guidelines to protect Jewish students from harassment, physical assault, and overt hatred, on the basis of it having a “chilling effect” on the civil rights of pro-Palestinian and Muslim students.

The tragic events behind the “Free Palestine” protests are blatantly absent from CAIR’s statement.

Ayloush fails to mention the pattern of abuse and harassment perpetrated by the protestors -- which included raining blows on Jewish students and erecting "Jew-Free Zone" blockades on campus. Jewish students were not allowed to pass through the blockades without first condemning the actions of so-called “genocide” committed by Israel or agreeing to wear a symbol condemning the Jewish state.

Some would argue the real “chilling effect” could be traced to the recorded statements made by UCLA students who were on the receiving end of the April 25-May 2, 2024 attacks:

UCLA freshman Eli Tsives, who was filmed while attempting to access a campus area, said: “I deserve to go here. I pay tuition. This is our school.” He was prevented from passing through

“... cultivating his reputation as a “moderate Muslim.” “

There are no moderate koranimals. There is a percentage of them that indulge in terrorism and atrocities and the rest of the koranimals support the first group. There is no place in modern society for islam.
