The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) issued a press release condemning the murder of Charlie Kirk. Of course, CAIR has nothing to do with this crime, and its condemnation is irrelevant. It is assumed that they oppose murder. But what they are not against — indeed, what they practice constantly — is hateful and dangerous incitement.
There are too many examples to include in one article, but a few stand out:
-
Dan Leonard (Toms River, NJ): CAIR spotlighted Facebook posts mocking Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, demanding Leonard’s resignation. When he refused, outrage in the community escalated to the point that his underage daughter was subjected to rape threats. CAIR never tried to calm the situation it helped ignite.
-
Bill Larion (Dearborn, MI): Larion posted a comment using the word “camels” and deleted it 30 minutes later. CAIR seized on it and helped turn the entire town against him.
-
Tamar Herman (New Jersey): When a rumor spread that Herman mishandled a student’s hijab, CAIR appeared repeatedly on TV calling for her firing — without evidence. Herman sued for defamation, and CAIR’s successful legal defense was that its rhetoric was “hyperbolic advocacy” and not to be taken literally. Herman nevertheless lost her career.
-
Steve Elzinga (Michigan): When an orchard owner lost his temper after repeated trespassing incidents, video of a confrontation went viral. Elzinga received death threats, and CAIR sided publicly with the mob rather than the victim of harassment.
-
John Grasso (Maryland): During his 2018 State Senate run, CAIR waged a week-long media campaign over Facebook posts, claiming he endangered his constituents. Grasso lost his election.
-
Elizabeth Wolf (Euless, TX): Wolf was arrested on a charge and released on bail. CAIR told local TV that Wolf had threatened to return and “kill the whole family.” But according to Euless police chief Brenda Alvarado — who confirmed this directly in conversation — that claim did not come from the police. It came from CAIR itself. Wolf was re-arrested with higher bail, showing how CAIR’s fabrication directly harmed her.
-
Colleyville, TX (2022): CAIR waged an international campaign for the release of convicted terrorist Aafia Siddiqui, known as “Lady al-Qaeda.” When a hostage-taker seized a synagogue in Colleyville to demand her release, CAIR denied involvement. Yet their years of agitation and promotion of Siddiqui helped create the climate for the attack.
All of these cases share a theme: CAIR takes a minor incident — a Facebook post, a rumor, a confrontation — and inflames it into a public firestorm, often destroying reputations, livelihoods, or even threatening lives.
And now, in response to Charlie Kirk’s assassination, CAIR-Chicago’s director Ahmed Rehab issued a statement saying:
I despise much of what Charlie Kirk stood for: his supremacy, racism and Islamophobia, his support and cheerleading for genocide, and his warped logic that ironically justifies his own shooting.
This is not condemnation. It is justification. Rehab is saying he disapproves of murder, but understands why someone would want to kill Charlie Kirk.
If CAIR were serious, its press release would have stopped at one line:
Our hateful rhetoric ends today.
But that is the one statement CAIR will never make. For some people, incitement is not accidental — it is a business model.

We know that CAIR is gleeful at Charlie Kirk’s death. They need not remind us, or publicize it to the world
Walter Sieruk says
Not very much wanting to get off that main topic of this article, nevertheless, it’s still worth noting that The exact date of this posting is September 17th, 2025, which is US Constitution Day.
Therefore, this is a very appropriate day to send a message a message to those stealth jihadist Muslims who are living in the United States who attempt to have Sharia enacted in the US in place and instead of the US Constitution. They need to be reminded that the United States had something that is far better than Sharia. It’s the US Constitution. This is America, not Saudi Arabia or Iran.
As the former US President, Theodore Roosevelt, had well-spoken when he declared in a speech “There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is only room here for only hundred percent Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else.”
Furthermore, , it should be made known that the actual origin of Sharia had been revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995 ” For that future history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” . page 150.
Therefore, Sharia is of pagan origin and therefore has no value or worth.

Amen!
ted says
True statement. If looking at History, islam is of pagan {satanic} origin.
The hadith confirms this.

I don’t believe for one second that cair is against murder. So I do not “assume” that they “oppose murder.”
As devout muzzies, they *lust* for it. We know that because all of their vocal clerics who record their sermons from the many barracks, tell us so. They supposedly “love death” (it’s really a taking pleasure in the death of their enemies) and they are routinely and often, told to “strike the necks.”
Mr. Kirk was not a muzzie; he was not a terror-supporter calling for ‘rivers and seas’ and he didn’t wear a black and white scarf like the late and ugly arafat. Neither did his wife wear a head-covering and body-swamping garbage bag.
So they can celebrate his murder. Like their comrade, ilhan elmi, alias omar

Just wondering:
Just what does it take for a member of Congress to be thrown out of Congress?
ted says
Should muslims be able, they would stick any unbeliever in the back with a knife.
{please excuse coarseness of comment}
Westman says
The SPLC once appeared like Al Sharpton at every photo-op with CAIR. Did they figure out that associating with CAIR had no benefits as America became more aware of its association with the West’s enemies and became aware of the UK grooming and various jihad attacks on the West’s citizens?
Is CAIR a political arm of Islam, paving the road for hijrah and jihad?

ted anderson says
Islam is Globally destabilising in ideology.
History and present day invasion of Europe and England shows followers
of islam to want dar al islam and sharia imposed on others.
In other Nations, and in the MidEast, sharia is imposed on others by Force.
First its Saturday, then Sunday
There is No place in a civilized society for such.
Calling islam what it is is not islamaphobic.
