CAIR Offices Evacuated After Receiving 'Suspicious Substance' By Mail

The Council on American-Islamic Relations building in D.C. is currently under evacuation, after the office received an envelope filled with a suspicious substance.

"We're all outside the building," says Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR's National Communications Director. The only exception: the several staffers who remain quarantined inside the building on New Jersey Avenue SE.

D.C. Fire has responded to the scene with hazmat gear.

"We receive threats on almost a daily basis, so it's nothing new for us," says Hooper. "But a suspicious substance—that's new. We don't normally publicize threats to ourselves but when you have to evacuate, it's a little different."

DCist yesterday spoke to a man who received anti-Muslim threats after canceling an appointment with a painting company.

Hat tip to Alan Henney.

Imagine telling our founding fathers that being a victim in 2015 would be the validation for every political issue. The country is over. We’re just watching the slide to absolute ruin.

in light of their designation of unindicted co-conspirator, I'm going to have to go with the sympathy play.

As in they sent it to themselves to solicit a response beneficial to them, so they can play whatever race card or propaganda crap they have a tendency to do.

So on a larger scale when Barry finally leaves the White House who will he pardon, when will he pardoned them, seeing he is not actually present (see African father) would his laws, pardons stand?

At first I thought maybe someone had sent them a severed head in a box. But I realized that would be business-as-usual at CAIR.
