Though it represents itself to be a Muslim civil rights organization, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) devoted most of its resources earlier this month to mobilizing opposition to Israel's attempt to neutralize Hamas militarily.
On Thursday, the Investigative Project on Terrorism reported that the FBI has cut off contact with CAIR due to unanswered questions about the organization's roots in a Hamas-support network. Earlier this month, the IPT showed how CAIR officials dutifully avoid mentioning Hamas by name when discussing the conflict. Yet no major media outlet or political figure is challenging CAIR's positions or tactics.
That may be because CAIR has cultivated sympathetic coverage in everything from local newspapers to the New York Times, nurtured alliances with members of Congress, including Democrats Jim McDermott of Washington, Keith Ellison of Minnesota and Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas, all of whom have spoken at CAIR events.
The following report shows the consistent support CAIR officials have shown for Hamas, Hizballah and other radicals and their refusal to condemn terrorist attacks and suicide bombings by those groups.
In their own words: The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR)
I. In Support of Hamas and Hizballah
CAIR incorporator and current executive director Nihad Awad has publicly expressed his support for Hamas. At a symposium at Barry University in Florida on March 22, 1994, he said:
"After I researched the situation inside and outside of Palestine, I am in support of the Hamas movement."[1] [emphasis added]

Duh. Who do you expect them to support?
People who think in terms of “moderate” v. “extreme” are fools.
I know. It’s like a moderate murder vs. an extreme murder.
Crush islam Ping
CAIR, all HAMAS Supporters and HAMAS + BO-Pelosi-Reid = 2nd-9-11,2009
I understand that CAIR drastically changed its website immediately after 9/11. Did anyone archive really damning stuff?

It made sense that the FBI is putting clamps on this organization that backs the terrorist organization Hamas.
We must keep our eye on CAIR to see by their stealth approach they install shariah law and abolish the constitution, which will mean the end of our beloved USA as she slides into the abyss of women being treated as so much property, and limbs chopped off for stealing, and be-headings for major offenses in their law. Shariah law is already in place in parts of London and other sections of Europe.
Sincerely, Lee”
