I wonder how many of our kids have been taught in the cesspits our schools have become that 9/11 was payback for our invading Afghanistan (even though that took place in reaction to 9/11).
I'll also add that relying on information about hate crimes from CAIR is foolish in the extreme since they typically will include exposed hoaxes into their numbers in order to inflate them.
Moreover, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has effectively served as the PR arm of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB)[1] here in the United States. This was exposed during the Holy Land Foundation trial where they were named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest jihad financing case in U.S. history[2], which resulted in the FBI severing ties with the group after working very closely with them for years. Likewise, this caused the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to brand CAIR as a terrorist organization.
As an aside, before she became a Congresswoman, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) had served as a member on CAIR's Advisory Board and received large political contributions from CAIR's PAC as well as from the organizations staff when she ran for Congress in 2018. Omar also selected the front steps of CAIR's Los Angeles chapter as her backdrop for her now notorious offensive remarks regarding the 9/11 terrorist attacks -- describing the attack as merely "somebody did something" and then lied through her teeth claiming that CAIR was founded after 9/11 to defend Muslims from persecution. In reality it was formed in 1994 -- something that a member of the organization's Advisory Board would know.
1. Listed as a terrorist organization in numerous countries, including but not limited to, Egypt, Russia, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain
2. I should note that this was more about Hamas than the MB, but Hamas is nothing more than an offshoot of the MB. And when the MB seized control of Egypt after the ouster of Mubarak, the two worked together hand-in-glove.
