In a July 1998 news article CAIR co founder Omar Ahmad is quoted speaking to a group of California Muslims expressing his hope of seeing an America under the domination of Islam. In that article, Ahmad is quoted as saying,Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran ... should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth.
On October 5, 2001, just weeks after 9/11, CAIR’s New York office sent a letter to The New York Times arguing that the paper had misidentified three of the hijackers and suggesting that the attacks may have been committed by people who were impersonating Arab Muslims.
CAIR further exploited 9/11 as it put on its website a picture of the World Trade Center in flames and below it a call for donations that was linked to the Holy Land Foundation website.
The HLF is the Holy Land Foundation. On December 4, 2001, the Attorney General of the United States stated that “the Holy Land Foundation, received much of its early money from Mousa Abu Marzuq, a top Hamas official who, the U.S. courts have determined, was directly involved in terrorism."
At 8:00 pm on June 6, 2006, the Ohio affiliate of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR OH) honored Siraj Wahaj, one of the unindicted conspirators in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, Wahhaj had also served as a defense witness at the trial of the “Blind Sheikh” Omar Abdel Rahman, one of the men convicted for that 1993 terrorist attack (a conviction that CAIR has labeled “a travesty of justice”). More than 400 CAIR OH supporters gathered at this fund-raising banquet.
On August 7, 2006: Altaf Ali, executive director of CAIR Florida, published an opinion piece in the Sun Sentinel, in which he compared Israel and the U.S. government to Al Qaeda.
On August 12, 2006: CAIR participated in and endorsed several rallies in support of Hezbollah and the “resistance” that were fighting American forces in Iraq.
In October, 2006 a CAIR affiliated publication, InFocus, printed an article supporting Hezbollah. The commentary claimed that the war was part of an American British conspiracy, a “phase of the larger plans of the colonialist superpowers.” It also praised the “epic heroism of the resistance fighters”
In May 2007 CAIR was identified by the government as an unindicted co conspirator in a case involving a charity that was allegedly affiliated with Hamas. Federal prosecutors in the case of the Holy Land Foundation listed CAIR under the category: “Individuals/entities who are and/or were members of the US Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee and/or its organizations.” The government also listed Omar Ahmad, CAIR’s founder and chairman emeritus, under the same category.
In August 2 7, 2007 during the Holy Land Foundation trial in Texas, FBI agent Lara Burns testified about evidence connecting CAIR and two of its founders to the Holy Land Foundation as well as to the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood movement that established Hamas in Gaza and the West Bank. The agent identified CAIR executive director Nihad Awad as one of the scheduled participants at a meeting of Hamas officials in a hotel in Philadelphia in 1993. At the time, Awad was a representative of IAP. Burns also identified CAIR co founders Awad and Omar Ahmed as members of the Palestine Committee set up by the Muslim Brotherhood.
