DOES WASHINGTON CARE WHO CAIR REALLY REPRESENTS? It had better:

Now we learn that of that 2 million, CAIR boasts a paltry 1,700 official Muslim members. So the group can hardly claim to be the voice of Muslims in America. In fact, it is shilling for Arab sugar daddies — their headquarters and operations are financed by the Saudi and UAE governments, both of which have aggressively financed the spread of militant Islamism around the world.

The mainstream media, which regularly book CAIR spokesmen to claim to argue the point of view of Muslims, and weak-kneed pols, who let CAIR mau-mau them into reserving rooms in the Capitol to hold court, have been totally hoodwinked by these charlatans. They need to wake up to the facts about this foreign front group.

The days of legitimizing and mainstreaming CAIR — now an official unindicted co-conspirator in a major terror case — must end before it can lobby against one more antiterror measure, boycott one more airline for protecting passengers from suspicious Muslim men, or sue one more John Doe tipster who could save hundreds of lives.

The war against Islamists should begin at home.
