CAIR a creation of the Muslim Brotherhood, a global Islamist movement that began in Egypt, which is why there is some Saudi involvement in it as well as Syrian, among others. Radicals from every country including our own are part of the Muslim Brotherhood movement. And the Muslim Brother hood movement is part of the al Qaeda network.

Meanwhile, far too many people are thinking of this as a nationalistic thing. Hitler, Mussolini and the Japanese leadership were nationalists. Even the USSR was nationalist at heart, an empire controlling others. And even if members of Communist International were not always nationalists, and professed the global nature of their movement, their movement was certainly controlled by the nationalistic communist party of the USSR.

The Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda are a different story. They are not controlled by any one state, but rather by influential people in many states of the similar ideological bent that recognize no borders and no law beyond their own ideology.

For them there is only the Umma or world of Islam, nationstates don't exist.

We are in a fight for our lives.
