Demand the U.S. Government Investigate Un-indicted co-conspirator Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)

We REMIND our
elected officials that CAIR has documented ties to the terrorist
organization Hamas and that CAIR was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in
the Holy Land Foundation trial (a trial that ended with guilty verdicts on 108
counts of funneling $12 million to Hamas).

We REMIND our elected
officials that CAIR has individuals either under its current or former employ,
or as its affiliates, who have direct ties to terrorism both in the U.S. and
abroad: such as Nihad Awad, CAIR’s current national executive director, who
participated in a meeting about how to disguise payments to Hamas terrorists as
charity; Abdurahman Alamoudi, a CAIR director who is now serving 23 years in
federal prison for plotting terrorism; and Omar M. Ahmad, CAIR’s founder and
former chairman, who was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land
case, to name but a few examples.

We are deeply CONCERNED at recent
reports that CAIR has worked to undermine U.S. law enforcement by tipping off
suspected terrorists under investigation, and by directing Muslim-Americans to
not cooperate with the F.B.I.

We are DISMAYED that, despite these facts,
CAIR continues to be the primary group consulted by both media and government
agencies with regard to the Muslim-American community. In the name of true
transparency, therefore, we REQUEST that Congress and the Administration support
the following investigative actions:

Further, we REJECT all
attempts by CAIR to discredit those who call for a formal investigation into
their organization by falsely arguing such action is “anti-Muslim.” This has
been an oft-used distraction tactic of theirs, and it is time it came to an end.
This issue is about CAIR and only CAIR.
