How CAIR Operates
The Civil Rights Shield
- • Use civil rights language to gain mainstream credibility
- • Access government officials and media platforms
- • Label any criticism as "Islamophobia"
- • Position themselves as moderate voices
Legal Intimidation
- • File strategic lawsuits against critics
- • Force NDAs to silence victims
- • Extract settlements from institutions
- • Create chilling effect on scrutiny
The Bottom Line
CAIR presents itself as a mainstream civil rights organization, but federal courts, government agencies, and allied nations have identified it as part of a Hamas support network.
The evidence isn't from political opponents—it's from federal trials, FBI investigations, and court documents. CAIR's greatest weapon is making this evidence seem invisible through respectability politics and accusations of bigotry against anyone who points it out.
