Did you know that presidential candidate Kamala Harris has close ties to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a radical Hamas-linked organization, whose executive director celebrated the October 7th Hamas terror attack on Israel?
ROBERT SPENCER The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) describes itself as “America’s largest Muslim civil liberties organization.” In that guise, and as it has championed numerous far-left causes, it has become a respected member of the leftist establishment, with numerous ignorant and self-serving politicians lavishing praise on this unsavory gang in hopes of gaining Muslim votes. Among them has been, not surprisingly, Kamala Harris.
Back in Oct. 2020, the Washington Free Beacon reported that “as California’s attorney general and then as U.S. senator, Harris forged a relationship with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), one of the nation’s top anti-Israel groups and advocates for boycotts of the Jewish state.” After the Hamas massacres of Oct. 7, 2023, this matters more than ever.
CAIR, the Free Beacon added, “advised Harris on community issues during her time in California politics, and she later offered the group her ‘gratitude and admiration’ in a 2018 personal letter to the group.” Specifically, “Hussam Ayloush, executive director of CAIR’s Los Angeles office, praised Harris in 2015 for including the group in an interfaith meeting with law enforcement officials. Harris, he said, ‘exemplified leadership’ by vowing to tackle Islamophobia at a time when the state’s Jewish institutions were facing threats.”
Even worse, long before he praised Kamala Harris, Hussam Ayloush has repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. In 2017, with Donald Trump in the White House, Ayloush called for the overthrow of the U.S. government.
Yet the following year, Harris wrote to CAIR: “Please accept my gratitude and admiration for your tireless work to promote peace, justice, and mutual understanding,”
CAIR’s cofounder and longtime executive director Nihad Awad infamously said that he was “happy” about Hamas’ Oct. 7 jihad massacre of 1,200 Israelis. In April 2024, Awad eulogized a Muslim Brotherhood cleric, Sheikh Abdul-Majid al-Zindani, who had ties to al-Qaeda as well as Hamas. Al-Zindani was on the UN Security Council’s list of specially designated terrorists.
Dr Rich Swier (h/t Alan) In a video that surfaced on X on July 25, Harris told an appreciative audience at the Islamic Center of Southern California, “We must have the courage to object when they use that term, ‘radical Islamic terrorism.‘”
🚨REVEALED: FAR-LEFT KAMALA’S SYMPATHY FOR TERRORISTS🚨
Speaking to the Islamic Center of Southern California, Kamala Harris says the term “radical Islamic terrorism” should be abolished.
