Reform CAIR
What Goes Around
Two years ago today, CAIR sent to its community a press release it knew was reckless with the facts, and would likely cause harm to its target, a former senior staff member who was a vocal critic and whom it had unsuccessfully sued for defamation. Ever since I read internal communications of CAIR from 2016…
CAIR Makes the Evening News. Oh Boy.
On December 8, 2023, my wife, our dog Daisy, and I headed to California. Checking into a motel in Green River Utah, we turned on the news. There was Nihad Awad, telling an audience how glad he was to see Gazans on October 7 throwing off their shackles and setting foot on land of which…
Dear President Biden: It is time to leverage military aid to Israel
Preface Many of the purported eye-witness accounts of sexual violence committed by Hamas on October 7 sound credible. For all we can know now, they may indeed have been widespread. It is very important that opponents of Israel’s horrific war not dismiss the allegations of sexual violence, or attempt to debunk them. The truth will…
Honesty Begins at Home: Hamas is a Disgrace to Islam
The action alert on Israel’s war on Gaza that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has disseminated is clear and to the point regarding an immediate ceasefire and no new military aid for Israel. But one action item or talking point could use some work. Is is this: “Acknowledge the loss of lives and recognize…
Islam in Two Pages
by Todd Buchanan Note: What follows I composed some years ago with the input of many members of the Outreach Team at the Islamic Center of Boulder. It was intended as an introduction to Islam for non-Muslims, hence its several non-Islamic references. I post it here today to convey how compelling and vital I found…
CAIR-National Fools the Fortunate to Rob the Poor
One of many things I love about Islam is the concept that the needy actually have a right to a portion of the wealth of others. It is not simply a good thing to share your wealth. Sharing your wealth does not simply better your standing before Allah. Sharing your wealth is an outright…
Let’s agree I’m a spy. How does that help CAIR?
I was planning to title this essay, “Oh Brother Waleed, Where Art Thou?” for Omar and I had not heard from him in a while. Then, at 4:41 yesterday afternoon, six minutes after CAIR pinged me with yet another zakat appeal, an email from Waleed came in. Waleed had been out of the country, of…
How I First Prayed with Muslims
by Abu Anthony Introduction Did I confess to being a spy? The other day I made a remarkable discovery. The first essay I ever sent Muslims, which follows this introduction, contains a curious sentence early on, which could be read in different ways. Was it an admission that I was a spy? …
Two Years of Deception and Retaliation at CAIR
Introduction I must assume that most of the people employed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), or otherwise associated with the organization, are not aware of the extent of the corruption that prevails in the national office. I urge the conscientious people of CAIR and its supporters to seriously consider the credible allegations that…
There is Justice yet to be Done
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The above statement, attributed to Lord Acton (1834-1902) attests to the influence of circumstances on human behavior, and is validated by our experience. Countless enterprises which began with the best of intentions, have been warped and diverted by success. The temptations of power are very hard…
