The New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-NY) today condemned what it called a “sweetheart deal” for Stuart Seldowitz, a Jewish ex-State Department official and former Barack Obama National Security Advisor, who was captured on video harassing a Muslim food cart vendor in New York City.
CAIR Seldowitz reached a deal to undergo bias training to avoid a charge for his alleged anti-Muslim, anti-Palestinian harassment and stalking targeting a New York City food cart vendor. Seldowitz, a former Obama administration national security advisor, will submit to a “26-week Anti-Bias Program through Queens Counseling for Change,” a judge ruled.
In a statement, CAIR-NY Executive Director Afaf Nasher said: “Seldowitz’s vile verbal abuse and harassment targeting an innocent street vendor were caught on video for all to see. The sweetheart deal he received from the Manhattan DA’s office is a shameful affront of our justice system and wholly unfitting of his actions.”

WOW!
The “sweethart deal” is the one between CAIR nd the media. CAIR’s opinion on Stuart Seldowitz is completely irrelevent. They have nothing to do with it. But, the TV stations just have to pretend that CAIR is important.
Menwhile in other news, the Minnesota Star-Tribune is reporting that Lor Saroya is suing CAIR for defamation.
Dispute between Blaine council member, Muslim affairs group hurtles forward with new defamation suit
Lori Saroya, ex-leader of CAIR in Minnesota, is suing her former employer — three years after it tried suing her.
“In its 2022 press release, CAIR’s national board described its decision to drop the suit as a measure taken to “get out of the mud with Lori and her anti-Muslim allies.” CAIR said it was unwilling to let Saroya use the litigation’s discovery process to overwhelm CAIR chapters, drain resources and demand the names of CAIR donors – all information CAIR said “anti-Muslim groups” long wanted to acquire. The group characterized the dispute as Islamophobic extremists dividing and conquering the community from within “by using us, Muslim Americans, against each other.”
Saroya, in this week’s complaint, said that the press release prompted online harassment and bullying that caused her to fear for her physical safety and stop attending her mosque. She said she was asked about the press release at several job interviews and not offered a job with any employer who mentioned the press release.
She said her opponent in the Blaine City Council race that year also used the press release “to attack her and question her suitability for public office.”
Saroya’s lawsuit alleges defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. She is seeking at least $75,000 in compensation and an injunction forcing CAIR to retract its press release and remove it from any public spaces.” – https://www.startribune.com/dispute-between-blaine-councilmember-muslim-affairs-group-hurtles-forward-with-new-defamation-suit/600336979/
