This group should have been shut down long ago, but skillfully manipulates politicians so as to prevent that from even being on the table.
“Hamas-Aligned CAIR Outraged after DHS Cuts Funding to Terror-Linked Islamist Groups,” by Benjamin Baird, Focus On Western Islamism, September 4, 2025:
A prominent Muslim nonprofit organization linked in a federal court case to Hamas is crying foul after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) cut an estimated $8 million in security grants to Muslim American groups accused of “alleged affiliations to terrorist activities.”
Yet, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has urged Muslim American groups to reject DHS grants, bears direct responsibility for corrupting the federal government’s Nonprofit Security Grant Program.
For years, CAIR helped promote the security program among radical mosques and Islamic centers. Now, CAIR claims that the government is cutting off funds to Muslim nonprofits merely because of their “criticism of Israel’s genocide.”
In a statement to Fox News, CAIR insisted that “the government cannot ban American organizations from receiving federal grants based on their religious affiliation or their criticism of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.”
In truth, DHS pulled security grants to dozens of radical organizations in response to a Middle East Forum report, written by this author, that exposed $25 million in historical DHS grants to groups with ideological links to terrorism. CAIR, which placed American communities at risk when it helped extremist groups apply for security funding, dismissed the report as “ravings.”
Published on July 21, “Homeland Insecurity: Unraveling DHS Funding of Terror-Linked and Extremist Groups,” went as far back as the Obama administration to identify DHS grants to 501(c) nonprofits with ties Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Islamic Republic of Iran, among others. The lionshare of this funding was allocated through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which administered grants for security improvements to houses of worship, such as bulletproof glass, surveillance cameras, and armed security guards.
There is nothing in the 10,000-word report to suggest that political criticism of Israel resulted in any group’s disqualification. Instead, the study documents antisemitic sermons and anti-Jewish conspiracies expressed at government-funded Islamist mosques. It shows how taxpayer dollars went to mosques that harbored 9/11 hijackers and other terror suspects….

Of course cair is “outraged.” Anything which might hinder muzzie terror is an “outrage” to cair.
It’s so nice when they supposedly quote American Law when the Law is used to hinder their support of terror….but they get it wrong because they are abusers of those Laws.
cair should become “indicted” and face trials for all of their support, funding, official stances from elected offices, and other ways and means of helping terrorists attack Americans.
Indict them already.

somehistory,
I’m not an attorney, but it would seem that CAIR could be indicted under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.
somehistory says
James, I’m not an attorney either (my son is) but I did study Law, Criminal Justice, Criminal Law, White collar crime, ***organized crime,*** terrorism, and a bunch of other stuff regarding, and relating to, law and Public Safety.
I do believe after all of that, muzzies of cair fit into a category where they could be charged under RICO.
Ms. Bondi should be looking hard into that. And every State where there is a branch of cair, needs their DA’s and AG’s to be looking at what they can do to use that Act for the purpose for which it was written.

The have so many as well as a YouTube channel for each one. Meanwhile, they keep getting people fired from their jobs as well as suing people.
Let’s hope they check all those ‘special donor’s box’ and bet it’s not clean.

Thank you for your very informative reply, somehistory.

Thanks, Larry.
I’ve sent your video to my Congressman’s office (Kiley [R: California]), with the obvious question: why are we doing this?

Public enemy number one CAIR is hamas. Please Mr president Donald Trump designate the Muslim brotherhood Islamic terrorist et al as a foreign terrorist organization with alacrity
Taffy says
I am outraged too! Except my outrage is directed to the fact that these Muzzie causes were funded in the first place—with tax dollars.
Troybeam says
Take America’s money and plot to destroy from within all the while laughing on the way to the bank.
FEMA of all places to hide the money given to these terrorist groups inside of America, oh how the left hates America.
Fonky Honky says
The US government should defund any and all organizations affiliated with Islam.
Troybeam says
Have to find them first. Buried among many groups in the system with different names and sections. Should start with wire transfers and go from there.
John Andela says
Iam not a lawyer either , just a common sense Christian thinker .
Its high time that some of this funding is being pulled from these organizations , can you imagine us giving them money , so they can use this ammunition against our democratic society and to eliminate us in their quest for superiority Think about it
Alkflaeda says
Any nation has not only the right, but the responsibility to ensure right use of public funds. If this looks like an attack on one particular community, perhaps (one hopes) they are the only ones who have abused the funding.

Make no mistakes. ALL MUSLIMS work to undercut America. We must not trust ANY msulim. Pure EVIL. After Charlie was killed, we are inching towards civil war. While Robert Spencer and rest are educating us, they are planning to kill.
Rick Gordon says
Obviously, these groups that are anti-American and anti-Semitic should receive zero funding from the US government. Further, many of the leadership ought to be shown the door leading back to their home countries.
