On Tuesday, Fox News<\/a> reported the following:<\/p>\n

Sen. Tom Cotton<\/a>, R-Ark., is calling on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to revoke the nonprofit status of a Muslim advocacy group that he believes has ties to terror groups, including Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the letter, Cotton notes that “in the largest terrorism-financing case in U.S. history, [the Council on American-Islamic Relations<\/a>] was listed as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood\u2019s Palestine Committee.” CAIR was listed as an unindicted coconspirator in the infamous Holy Land Foundation (HLF) terrorism financing case. The organization later attempted, unsuccessfully, to have its name removed from the list.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Justice Department found that HLF and five of its leaders had, while working together and with others, “provided material support to the Hamas movement.” In total, the groups provided Hamas with approximately $12.4M, according to the DOJ<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In July of 2024, PJ Media reported:<\/p>\n

The first indication of the activities of this clandestine (Muslim) Brotherhood organization came in September 2007, with the revelation during the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terrorism funding trial of a document<\/a> dating from May 1991, \u201cAn Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Brotherhood in North America.\u201d It stated that \u201cThe process of settlement is a \u2018Civilization-Jihadist Process\u2019 with all the word means. The Ikhwan [Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and \u2018sabotaging\u2019 its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God\u2019s religion is made victorious over all other religions\u201d (p. 7).<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

CAIR was disavowed by the Biden administration<\/a> after the organization’s executive director appeared to praise Hamas\u2019 Oct. 7 massacre. In November 2023, just weeks after the attacks, CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said he was “happy to see” Palestinians “breaking the siege and throwing down the shackles of their own land.” Additionally, in his remarks, Awad appeared to further justify the attacks, saying that “the people of Gaza have the right to self-defense” and that Israel does not.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The New York Times quoted then-Biden spokesperson Andrew Bates as saying that the administration condemned the “shocking, antisemitic statements in the strongest terms.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Anti-Defamation League<\/a> (ADL) slammed Awad\u2019s recent remarks about the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran\u2019s nuclear sites. The national executive director said that “Netanyahu calls the shots. Trump pretends to be in charge.” Additionally, the ADL pointed out that Hussam Ayloush, executive director of CAIR\u2019s Los Angeles chapter, referred to Congress and the White House as “Israeli-occupied territories.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The remarks are not shocking once you realize who CAIR is. Their nonprofit status should be revoked and they should be monitored closely for terrorist activity. If you have not yet read the document referred to in the PJ Media article, please take the time to read it. It is important.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
