US group CAIR named terrorist organization by United Arab Emirates | Fox News
"
A U.S.-based pro-Muslim group that enjoys close ties with the Obama administration has landed on one Arab nation's list of terrorist organizations.
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."

Senior UAE officials have responded to the criticism by restating that CAIR, MAS and other Muslim groups in the West are linked to the
Muslim Brotherhood.
CAIR proved the UAE’s point earlier this month when its
San Francisco Bay Area chapter held a 20th anniversary fundraising banquet that
honored convicted Palestinian Islamic terrorist Sami Al-Arian with a “Promoting Justice Award.”
CAIR continues to claim that Al-Arian was unjustly tried, despite the overwhelming evidence against him and his conviction in court. However, CAIR cannot deny is that Al-Arian's radical rhetoric is
on record. CAIR is upholding an Islamist extremist with a subversive agenda.

CAIR Impeded FBI Probe of Somali Terrorist Group in Kenya Attack - Judicial Watch
"The Al Qaeda affiliate that terrorized a Kenyan shopping center and murdered scores of innocent people has a powerful and influential advocate in the United States, the Muslim “civil rights” group known as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
It’s unlikely that the mainstream media will mention the connection, but it’s deep and it involves interfering in federal probes involving the radicalization of young Somali men in the U.S., like the ones carrying out the attack at the Westgate Shopping Mall in Northern Nairobi. CAIR has also wielded its power to silence critics of the Al Qaeda offshoot—Somalia’s Al Shabaab—that stormed into the mall, murdered at least 68 and took dozens of hostages."
Yeah, 'Right Wing Ignorance' because CAIR is such an upstanding organization...
