The Exchange

IPT Analysis: Typical CAIR Deflection
The Investigative Project on Terrorism noted this as typical CAIR deflection tactics when asked to specifically condemn terrorist organizations that CAIR has historical connections with through the Holy Land Foundation case.
Critics argue CAIR uses "word games" to avoid condemning organizations they secretly support while maintaining public respectability.
Pattern of Terrorist Protection
Saylor's refusal follows CAIR's documented pattern of protecting terrorist organizations while claiming to oppose "terrorism" in general terms that allow plausible deniability.
This approach allows CAIR to maintain government access while avoiding alienating extremist supporters.

📼 Bin Laden Tape Rationalization (2006)
2006 Bin Laden Audio Commentary
"The tape sought to exploit legitimate Muslim grievances and issues to further Bin Laden's own twisted and un-Islamic agenda."
Saylor's statement on Bin Laden audio tape that validated "legitimate Muslim grievances" while condemning methods.
Critics argued this rationalized terrorist messaging by validating underlying "grievances" against America.
Grievance Validation Strategy
By acknowledging "legitimate Muslim grievances," Saylor provided ideological support for terrorist messaging while maintaining plausible deniability through condemnation of methods.
- • Validated anti-American "grievances"
- • Provided intellectual cover for extremist messaging
- • Maintained CAIR's "moderate" facade
- • Used typical CAIR double-speak tactics
Terrorist Messaging Support
