In 2008, the FBI ruled CAIR an unindicted co-conspirator in the terror-finance trial against the Holy Land Foundation and its former officials.

In recent years, CAIR has been a leading voice in censoring and banning conservative voices on social media.

In the months following Oct. 7, CAIR’s Executive Director Nihad Awad cheered the slaughter of 1,300 Jews in southern Israel by Hamas.
