The Council on American-Islamic Relations is urging President-elect Joe Biden to soften up on extremism in a new document on issues it hopes the new administration will address during its first 100 days.
It calls on Biden to "oppose and defund" a Homeland Security program aimed at preventing violent extremism and terrorism.
The Office for Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention aims to defend against terror groups of all stripes, from ISIS to White supremacists, as well as school and workplace shootings, according to the DHS.
The document describes the government’s Terrorist Screening Database, a terror watchlist, as "unconstitutional." It demands the FBI stop using informants "to spy on American Muslim communities." And it asks Biden to reject "any new domestic terrorism statutes" in addition to closing Guantanamo Bay.
It also accuses the federal government of relying on "Alt-Right and Islamophobic online resources" that prevent Muslim Americans from getting hired to federal jobs.
The document not only criticizes the Trump administration, but also the actions of former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush for "policies and programs that led to the discriminatory profiling and targeting of American Muslims by state and federal law enforcement."
On foreign policy, it calls on the government to address human rights abuses against Muslims in China, India and Burma. It also calls on Washington to hold Saudi Arabia accountable for the slaying and dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi, a former Washington Post contributor who was killed at a Saudi embassy in Turkey in 2018 while trying to get paperwork so he could get married.
But it also asks Biden to rollback drone warfare and "oppose Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian territories."

Besides lockdowns, wrecking the economy and supporting the destruction of our cities, this will be another means the Democrats can employ to destroy America. Count on it.
CAIR, dear. Drop DEAD. And rot in hell.
Perhaps we should start a pool on how long before the first major terrorist attack on US soil takes place after Usurpation Day.
Save the country- defund Democrats.
The anonymous folks at CAIR.
Were it not for dementia, they wouldn’t even attempt to try to get a real president to approve that.
Aaaaand now we see why all the snakes in this world wanted biden the pushover as presdient
Makes perfect sense!
CAIR should have been destroyed along with Al-Qaeda because they are under the same tent.
CAIR is a front for Islamic/Moslem jihadists and expansionists in the US just as the National Lawyers Guild, its split off, the Center for Constitutional Rights, and the National Emergency Civil Liberties Committee were as legal defense organizations for their creator, the Communist Party USA, and now Marxists and black extremists of all types.
Imitation is the greatest flattery, Achmed!
they are a terrorist group and a hate group
