A State Department spokesman said Monday the administration was seeking clarity from the United Arab Emirates over its decision to list two American Muslim groups as terrorist organizations.
Spokesman Jeff Rathke seemed unaware that one of the two groups, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), has long been engaged in outreach programs with the U.S. government.
CAIR and MAS have expressed shock at the move, with MAS saying it would look to the U.S. government to help.
The State Department works...with CAIR all the time, no? a reporter asked. I mean, theres all sorts of outreach programs between the government and CAIR, right?
I dont know offhand whether we have a particular Rathke began, before being told that CAIR has also worked with the FBI, and that CAIR officials have been invited to State Department-hosted iftars Ramadan fast-breaking meals in years past.
I dont have that information at my fingertips, Rathke said. But at any rate, were engaging UAE officials. These are U.S.-based groups so of course our we are not in the lead then for domestically-based groups generally.

Uh, cause they are an arm of the Muzzie Broz, just like the White Hut?
Who’s side is John Kerry on?
Now that’s embarrassing!
“A State Department spokesman said Monday the administration was seeking clarity from the United Arab Emirates over its decision to list two American Muslim groups as terrorist organizations.”
Because they fund terrorists and are funded by terrorists.
Easy answer.
Maybe cuz they know something that you prefer not to know, or not to acknowledge.
Maybe the stenographer of state john f’n kohn-heinz-kerry needs to make a personal call to get this straightened out.
Wow, the US gubmint is supporting the jihadists, while middle eastern dictatorships like egypt, uae, and syria are actively fighting the jihadists.
Obola is showing its muslime brotherhood colors.
Rathke knows. This IS “THE BIG CHARADE”.
UAE should ask Kerry why USA has not declared CAIR a terrorist group.
they should have asked the CIA
Because they ARE?
The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DEPARTMENT OF STATE demanding a foreign government to tell it why its American Terrorist Support Organization (CAIR) is on a ‘terrorist’ list. Very rich...very droll.....very enlightening.
Why? Duhhh...because it is?
Brooke Goldstein was on “The Kelly File” last night talking about this.
VA VA VOOM.
I’m on her side.
You mean Sergeant Schultz?
Why do the American people not ask the State Department why it doesn’t just give up and admit that it is composed of the largest collection of marshmallow major idiots in the multiverse?
I have figured that for years. I wish our government would pull its head out.
Holy Cr@p, even muzzies get it about CAIR & our State Department doesn’t?
I’ve known for decades that State is chockfull of “Arabists” who have always hated Israel.
Their arrogance at demanding an explanation from the Emiratis is breathtaking, sounds like CAIR leaned on them to do so.
