GOP Lawmakers Call on Treasury to Investigate CAIR Funding

The lawmakers are asking the Secretary to ensure that CAIR isn’t funded by terrorist organizations.

From Just the News:
Stefanik and Senate Republican Conference Chair Tom Cotton urged the investigation in a joint letter, accusing CAIR ‘s executive director of previously leading the Islamic Association for Palestine, which they claimed authorities have identified as a propaganda front for Hamas.
The Republicans also claimed CAIR’s leadership attended a Philadelphia meeting of the Muslim Brotherhood Palestine Committee in 1993 where members discussed supporting Hamas, despite its label as a foreign terrorist organization.
“These foundational connections, coupled with CAIR’s conduct following the October 7, 2023 terrorist attacks, merit renewed scrutiny,” the lawmakers wrote. “CAIR has focused its efforts on supporting anti-Israel campus protests. While peaceful protest is protected, many of these demonstrations have led to incidents of antisemitic harassment and violence.”
The lawmakers noted that CAIR recently settled a lawsuit that would have forced the organization to reveal its donors. IFA covered this suit in December, highlighting how CAIR received more than $5 million in grants and charitable contributions in 2021 and 2022.
IFA has covered CAIR, a frequent disseminator of antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment, before. In an article we covered last November, we highlighted CAIR’s refusal to condemn Hamas, as well as its accusations of “ethnic cleansing” and war crimes levied against Israel.
Is this organization funded by terrorists like Hamas? Let’s pray for the truth to be revealed!
