Republican calls CAIR a Hamas-linked 'terrorist group'
|
[Al Jazeera] A US congressional candidate has become the latest politician to label the country's largest Moslem rights group a "terrorist" organization.
Republican Josh Mandel, who is also Ohio treasurer, claimed on Wednesday that the Council on America-Islamic Relations (CAIR
...designated a terrorist group by the UAE...
) "is Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,".
Mandel posted an article on social media in reference to the Paleostinian faction that controls the Gazoo Strip.
America's largest Moslem rights organization, CAIR:
While many have accused CAIR of being a front for such disparate groups as Hezbollah and Hamas - gangs in the Middle East with vastly different ideologies - no firm proof has ever been produced to support these claims.
Nihad Awad, CAIR's executive director, said in 1994 that he supported Hamas' social programmes more than those of the Paleostinian Liberation Organisation during a talk on the situation in the occupied Paleostinian territories.
He rejected "radical" elements within the group.
Hamas took credit for its first suicide kaboom in April 1994, and wasn't labelled a "terrorist organization" by the US state department until 1997 .
The group has since discontinued suicide kabooms.
Awad disavowed Hamas in 2006. "My position and CAIR's position is extremely clear: We condemn suicide kabooms. We are mainstream American Moslems," he said.
The caption read: "If Council on American Islamic Relations is for it, it is probably bad for America. What a horrible organization."
A day later, he said on Twitter that CAIR also had ties to the Moslem Brüderbund.
His comments follow Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz's announcement of the "Moslem Brüderbund (MB) Terrorist Designation Act", which aims to label the Islamic political, religious and social movement, founded in Egypt in 1928 and active across the Moslem world, as a threat to national security.
