There was a time when accusing the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and other Muslim Brotherhood operations of being Hamas was considered ‘Islamophobia’ despite the long history of CAIR officials defending Hamas.

Then CAIR boss Nihad Awad was caught on video celebrating Oct 7 and the group offered a tepid disclaimer at best while the Biden administration condemned it.

Back then, the Biden White House appeared to condemn “these shocking, Antisemitic statements in the strongest terms.”

“The atrocities of that day shock the conscience, which is why we can never forget the pain Hamas has caused for so many innocent people,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates said.

Then the Biden administration went right on working with CAIR and the group’s officials are more open than ever about their support for Hamas.

After Israel took out Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas, in Iran, there was outrage from all the usual suspects.

Zahra Billoo, the head of CAIR’s San Francisco office and a former Women’s March figure, responded to Haniyeh’s execution by tweeting, “Never say that those martyred in the cause of Allah are dead—in fact, they are alive! But you do not perceive it. Tonight, we mourn Ismail himself but know his martyrdom is not in vain. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”

It’s a generic Jihadi expression of support. And if anyone thinks that it’s limited to the Islamic Jihad against Israel, they’re kidding themselves.

CAIR is making it clearer than ever that it’s just the political arm of the Islamic terrorist organizations waging war on human civilization.

The question is why we continue to tolerate enemy operatives on American soil.
