It is quite clear which side the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is on, and what it is doing in the United States. So why is it still operating freely? It has many, many friends in high places, relationships it has cultivated assiduously.
“‘Victory to the resistance’: CAIR allegedly cosponsored event writing letters to terrorists,” by Michael Starr, Jerusalem Post, April 28, 2026:
CAIR Washington co-organized an April 17 event sending letters to imprisoned terrorists and violent criminals, according to promotional materials and a video published by event cosponsor Nidal Seattle, as the CAIR branch’s executive director was in the midst of running for state legislature.
A video published of the Palestinian Prisoners Day event by Nidal Seattle on Saturday showed CAIR’s logo projected on a wall during a presentation, and one CAIR Washington representative appeared to be a guest speaker.
The logo had appeared on an April 13 Telegram advertisement for the event, and Nidal’s Instagram posts advertised CAIR’s involvement on Saturday and April 17.
CAIR Washington and the representative who appeared to have spoken at the event did not respond to multiple queries about participation and event content and did not share the promotional materials on its social media accounts.
Nidal explained, in a promotional image bearing both the CAIR Washington logo and a picture of Palestinian terrorists released as part of a ransom for the October 7 massacre hostages, that the event was geared toward supporting Palestinian prisoners and isolating Israel so that they could advance “the victory of the Resistance and the revolutionary forces of Palestine and the region.”
Letters sent to ‘prisoners of Palestine’
“Victory to the resistance,” said one speaker during the event, according to a Nidal video. Nidal claimed that 50 letters had been sent to Palestinian students and Lebanese prisoners in Israeli jails and to “prisoners of Palestine detained in the US.”In relation to prisoners in the US, Nidal tagged a campaign to free Salah Sarsour, who was arrested by ICE on April 2 under suspicion of funding terrorist organizations and lying on immigration forms about his conviction for throwing Molotov cocktails in Israel.
Another campaign called to free the Holy Land Five – officers of the Holy Land Foundation convicted for funneling funds to Hamas….

I don’t care what name they call themselves. They’re all Islamic Muhammadian jihad terrorists. Hamas, ISIS/ISIL, Al Qaeda, Taliban, Daesh, Hezbollah, Boko Haram, Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR.
OLD GUY says
Yes Sir they are.

This is not a criticism of the article or other commenters.
It is a suggestion that this may be another example of “language matters”.
Just as ploome pointed out previously, there are no “lone wolves” in Islam,
there are only Jihadis, as every Muslim is called to perform Jihad.
There are also no “terrorists”.
There are only Jihadis.
They perform Jihad terror.
Whether alone or, in a group, they are all Jihadis.
I also don’t care what cover name they give themselves but I think we might want to consider being specific in our language in how we refer to Jihadis. For example, “a terror attack” could be performed by anyone. CAIR can claim that one man’s “terrorist” is another’s “freedom fighter”.
That language avoids that what is being talked about is Islamic Jihad performed by Islamic Jihadis
It sounds different when CAIR wants to conduct a letter writing campaign to Islamic Jihadis.
Jihad attacks can only be performed by an Islamic Jihadis.
Clear language keeps the focus on the fact that it’s Islam’s followers that are committing the violent Jihad, as Jihadis – not generic terrorists.

Absolutely 100% correct. It bugs me every time I hear the MSM and journalists referring to “radical” islamic terrorists. They aren’t radical in the slightest. It’s merely good Muslims following the dictates of the egregious koran and attempting to kill people that don’t follow their foul religion!

There’s quite a few half breed muslims around here. A white mother, and of Islam father.
So you would think they would be more in line with American culture. But no, they are doing this pro Palestine stuff anti Israel.
I wonder what their religious beliefs are. I don’t think they are allowed to be Christians, even if their mothers are Christians. I don’t know for sure.
But many girls are not covered. And the boys wit their way into white culture and spread pro Palestine, as do the girls.
Could these younger people be Christians after their mothers? Or is this liberal Muslim stuff meaningless because it’s the same geo politics belief..
I dated one years back for a while, it should not be tried. So much pressure by a demanding culture.

I do believe yes they can marry a Christian, but the child must be a Muslim. It is beneficial if you look at it. They can increase their population and spread their culture into a new land. So why have unnecessary restrictions on marriage?
A Muslim woman can not marry outside Islam though.
You know, I never really realized there were Muslim women who didn’t cover. Even the Muslim white women covered. How would you even know a woman was Muslim if she’s not covered?

The US used to not be so friendly to our mortal enemies but with DEI and WOKE attitudes hard at work throughout the Liberal-Left groups, making sure pro-terrorist Islamic groups have complete freedom to urge the destruction of Israel seems to be the new principle.

Terrorists….”Snakes in Suits” (Dr Robert Hare)….dressed up in order to obtain respect they have not earned and do not deserve. Psychopaths working their evil.
Wellington says
Fitting since criminality overall and Islam are bosom buddies. Have been since the 7th century AD.
Larry Estavan says
After months of calling for a cease-fire, when that finally did come to pass, CAIR was on TV more than 10x calling for renewed fighting –

Sick, sick stuff.

They’re taking over Texas districts like roaches. Where the fu@$ are they all coming from man? The statistics are insane. In Texas 50 mosques open every year.
Every house has 4 kids, or even larger families. You should go look this up: Epic Cities. This is a real life, sharia law town for Muslims in Texas. There is a second one planned also in Texas. They sell homes to Muslims only. Epic cities.
I have heard stories in Texas. Beared man with turban knocks on door offering 800k cash for house. 1 million cash. 650k cash. Shit like that
Ralph says
CAIR could not be more a terrorist group if the membership walked around wearing suicide vests.
