The Edmond Sun wrote a helpful article about CAIR on March 6th, What’s the truth about CAIR?
"...One thing that is certain is that the relationship between CAIR and the FBI has oscillated in recent years. A call from The Sun to FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., seeking comment on the group, resulted in the issuance of a statement.
In it, the FBI says the public’s understanding and trust remain essential to its success in all aspects of its mission.
“CAIR has been advised of the reasons behind our suspension of formal partnership,” the FBI stated. “These reasons include the fact that CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in United States v. Holy Land Foundation and CAIR’s failure to answer our questions about a connection between their executives and Hamas. Until these questions are answered, the FBI does not consider CAIR an appropriate partner for formal liaison activities.”
An unindicted co-conspirator is a person or entity that is alleged in an indictment to have engaged in conspiracy, but who is not charged in the same indictment.In May 2009, a federal judge handed down sentences in the Holy Land Foundation case. The government contends that from its inception, the Holy Land Foundation existed to support Hamas, a designated terrorist organization.
Five of the foundation’s leaders were convicted by a federal grand jury on charges of providing material support to Hamas. Before the foundation was designated as a terrorist organization and shut down in December 2001, it was the largest U.S. Muslim charity, according to the FBI. It was based in a Dallas suburb....Last month, Cindy Crenshaw, president of Oklahomans Against CAIR Hate, called for the condemnation of CAIR after a former CAIR leader was deported.
Crenshaw, who was injured by an explosive device while she was serving in the Air Force in West Germany, said she wants Oklahomans to know the truth about CAIR, that it is a hate group like the Ku Klux Klan.
“I love America and don’t want to sit back and watch enemies destroy my country, both from the inside and out,” Crenshaw said.
Crenshaw said she wants Americans to do their own research on CAIR and its alleged ties to terrorism.
