For the first time, evidence in a major federal terror case puts CAIR's current executive director — Nihad Awad — at a Philadelphia meeting of alleged Hamas leaders that was secretly recorded by the FBI.
After the Associated Press last week reported the bombshell, CAIR denied claims of ties to Hamas. "That's one of those urban legends about CAIR," said Parvez Ahmed, CAIR's chairman. "It's fed by the right-wing, pro-Israeli blogosphere."
In fact, the evidence was revealed by an FBI agent who testified at the terror-financing trial under way in Dallas.
Her name is Lara Burns, and she's the lead investigator in the case against operators of the Holy Land Foundation, the largest Muslim charity in America. CAIR, which she says received startup funding from HLF, is named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the case, according to court exhibits.

Looks like they won’t be “unindicted co-conspirators” for long.
We need to prosecute all involved. The kick their butts back to what ever hell hole they came from. Amen.
This case is sure getting a lot of airplay my the MSM.... ... NOT
Muck Fislam and the poorfit (Pigs be inseminating him) it rode in on!
CAIR is a terrorist organization!
This is all a game of pointing fingers. Let’s point crosshairs instead.
“Muck Fislam”
Thats just fuped duck!
You can't say that until HRC, Breck Boy, The Chosen One, Bloated Ted and Jon F'n (Harry has been quiet lately) say CAIR is just a misunderstood, stalwart supporter of our mis-placed / mis-guided war on (there really is no threat) terrorism.
I bet you drive an SUV, too.

Not too long ago Barbara Boxer, of all people, renounced any support for CAIR and we speculated on what she knew that we would have to wait to find out...
civil libertarians will be in a tizzy over this.
but there was a Republican Senator caught tapping his foot in a bathroom in some obscure homosexual mating ritual!!!
This was the PBS viewpoint in "America At A Crossroads", the critics of CAIR are a small number of right wingers and pro-Israeli types.
I can't believe that that this group hasn't collided with the RICO Laws...
CAIR is a terrorist fromt group, and everybody knows it. Even most RATS won’t defend them. So why aren’t they in jail?
“At a March 22, 1994, symposium on the Middle East at Florida’s Barry University, Awad said: “After I researched the situation inside and outside Palestine, I am in support of the Hamas movement.”
Three months later, he and Ahmad founded CAIR.”
“they’ve claimed that they get no foreign support and that their funding comes from local dues. In fact, the bulk of their support comes from two Arab countries tied to 9/11 — Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
They’ve claimed that the size of the Muslim population in America is 7 million. In fact, it’s closer to 2 million.
They’ve claimed that they’re mainstream American patriots, when in fact they’ve told Muslim audiences that they want the Quran to replace the Constitution as the “highest authority in America.”
They’ve also claimed that they don’t support terrorism, even as three senior employees have been jailed in terror-related cases.”
