Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is slated to speak next month at a benefit for the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), known for supporting terrorist organizations that have acted against Israel and the United States.
The event, scheduled for March 23 in Los Angeles, is entitled “Advancing Justice, empowering Valley Muslims.â€
CAIR has a long history of affiliation with the terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah. CAIR members have often defended the actions of Hamas in Gaza.
Further, FBI investigators uncovered evidence establishing CAIR's place in the "Palestine Committee," which was a Muslim Brotherhood-created network aimed at helping Hamas in the United States, according to a report by the Investigative Project on Terrorism. In 2009, US District Court Judge Jorge Solis ruled that there is "at least a prima facie case as to CAIR's involvement in a conspiracy to support Hamas."
Moreover, the organization was officially designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates in 2014, placing it in the company of Al Qaeda, Islamic State and others.
Omar will be keynoting with Hassan Shibly, the executive director of CAIR-Florida, who is vehemently anti-Israel, believes that Hezbollah and Hamas are not terrorist organizations and is known for openly discriminating against LGBTs.
