The Council on American-Islamic Relations was an unindicted co-conspirator in a major terrorism funding case. At least five current or former CAIR staff and supporters have been jailed or deported on terrorism-related charges. Yet news media often treat it uncritically as a civil rights organization.
After the Fort Hood massacre, allegedly by Maj. Nidal Hasan, USA Today quoted communications director Ibrahim Hooper and identified CAIR only as "a Muslim advocacy group."
When five American Muslims from the Alexandria area were arrested in Pakistan on suspicion of intent to wage jihad, The Washington Post reported without context that "two major groups ‹ the Muslim Public Affairs Council and the Council on American-Islamic Relations ‹ said this week that they would launch counter-radicalization programs aimed at young people."
