The Council on American-Islamic Relations said Friday it has sought to be removed from a United Arab Emirates' list that designates it as a terrorist organization, along with dozens of other groups.
The move comes after the Emirati Cabinet said that designated groups can pursue an appeals process to seek removal from the terrorism list.
Washington-based CAIR describes itself as America's largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization. It has called the terrorism designation "shocking and bizarre."
