First, CAIR was founded in 1994 by several leaders of the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), an organization described by the U.S. government as part of “Hamas’ propaganda apparatus.”.

In 2009 during the Holy Land Foundation trials the founder of CAIR’s Dallas chapter was found guilty with evidence he was part of a group set up by the Muslim Brotherhood to support Hamas. A terrorist organization.

In 2015 Executive Director of CAIR-LA, Hussam Ayloush tried to connect ISIS's practice of burning humans alive to Israel saying, “Before ISIS started burning people, Israeli settlers burned this boy alive. His parents still grieve.”

In November 2012, the Executive Director of the Tampa Chapter, shared on his Facebook page, a post equating Israel’s operation against Hamas in the Gaza Strip with the Nazi Genocide with photos from the Holocaust next to photographs of the IDF operation in Gaza.

In 2001 @jaketapper criticized the communication director of CAIR for saying about the September 11 attacks, "If Osama bin Laden was behind it, we condemn him by name," questioning why there should be any qualification before the statement. Jake even wrote an article about this.

Ali Asani, professor of Islamic studies at Harvard University said it was troubling and that there is "concern" how CAIR and other organizations are claiming to speak in the name of the Muslim community.

CAIR's founder, Nihad Awad, wrote in the Muslim World Monitor that the World Trade Center trial, which ended in the conviction in 1994 of four terrorists, was "a travesty of justice" and even claimed "Mossad and the Egyptian Intelligence played a role in the [WTC] explosion."
