United Arab Emirates Designates Muslim 'Civil Rights' Group CAIR as a Terror Organization

The Council on American Islamic Relations, better known as CAIR, has been designated by the United Arab Emirates as a terror group comparable to ISIS and Al Qaeda. More from Fox News:

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) was one of 82 groups around the world designated terrorist organizations by the United Arab Emirates, placing it in the company of Al Qaeda, Islamic State and others. While CAIR has previously been linked to Hamas, it has held hundreds of meetings with White House officials on a wide range of community issues and has sought to present itself as a mainstream Muslim organization.

CAIR isn't happy about the classification and argues it is a "civil rights" organization.

"We call on the United Arab Emirates cabinet to review this list and remove organizations such as CAIR, the Muslim American Society (MAS) and other civil society organizations that peacefully promote civil and democratic rights and that oppose terrorism whenever it occurs, wherever it occurs and whoever carries it out," CAIR wrote in a statement on its Facebook page, which also called its inclusion on the UAE list a "bizarre move."

Last night human rights attorney and Lawfare Project Director Brooke Goldstein made an appearance on The Kelly File to discuss this development.

CAIR is no stranger to terrorism. In 2007, the radical organization was an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Project case (which eventually led to five "charity" members being convicted for sending $12 million in funding to terror group Hamas), openly supports Hamas in its fight against Israel and encourages muslims in America not to work with federal law enforcement agents investigating homegrown terror in Muslim-American communities.

It should be stressed that President Obama often takes advice from CAIR and members of the Muslim Brotherhood about how to define terror and the White House National Security Council regularly consults members of these organizations.

The UAE knows more about CAIR than we do. And they aren't as "politically correct". America, under new leadership, would do well to follow their example.

Every Islamic group is a terrorist organization. Pat Condell said it best:

It shouldn’t be long before they add the White House and John F. Kerry to that list.

“It shouldn’t be long before they add the White House and John F. Kerry to that list.”
I think Egypt already did.

Obama at the UN:

“[W]e have reaffirmed that the United States is not and never will be at war with Islam. Islam teaches peace. Muslims the world over aspire to live with dignity and a sense of justice. And when it comes to America and Islam, there is no us and them – there is only us, because millions of Muslim Americans are part of the fabric of our country. . .

“The ideology of ISIL or al Qaeda or Boko Haram will wilt and die if it is consistently exposed, confronted, and refuted in the light of day. Look at the new Forum for Promoting Peace in Muslim Societies – Sheikh bin Bayyah described its purpose: ‘We must declare war on war, so the outcome will be peace upon peace.’ Look at the young British Muslims, who responded to terrorist propaganda by starting the ‘notinmyname’ campaign, declaring – ‘ISIS is hiding behind a false Islam.’ Look at the Christian and Muslim leaders who came together in the Central African Republic to reject violence – listen to the Imam who said, ‘Politics try to divide the religious in our country, but religion shouldn’t be a cause of hate, war, or strife.'”

Somebody needs to ask Obama when was the last time he heard of someone other than a Muslim beheading a person.

I thought CAIR was the Middle East wing of the DNC fundraising department.

“America, under new leadership....”

.
We can only hope that this “new leadership” will be different from what we have had in the past six years.

But there are no guarantees. We’ll just have to wait and see.

He will gleefully tell you that those doing the beheadings are not Muslims.

What they really are, he won’t say.
