AAH CALLS ON U.S. GOVT. TO PLACE CAIR ON
STATE DEPT. LIST OF TERROR GROUPS

AAH STANDS WITH HOUSE REPUBLICAN CONFERENCE IN
CONDEMNING CAIR'S USAGE OF U.S. CAPITOL

(Coral Springs, FL) Americans Against Hate (AAH), the group that was responsible for Senator Barbara Boxer rescinding an award from CAIR leader Basim Elkarra, calls on the United States government to take action and shut CAIR down immediately.

AAH stands with the House Republican Conference in calling on ranking Democrats to stop CAIR from using sacred government buildings to spread its brand of hatred. CAIR, indeed, has shown itself, time and time again, to be nothing more than an apologist for terrorists, such as Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Sami Al-Arian. Instead of allowing CAIR to use government facilities, our government officials should be working to close the offices of CAIR.

If it were not for the number two leader in Hamas today, Mousa Abu Marzook, CAIR would not be in existence. Considering CAIR's direct ties to Hamas, AAH calls on the government to place CAIR beside Hamas on the U.S. State Department's list of terrorist organizations.

Joe Kaufman, chairman of Americans Against Hate and founder of CAIR Watch, stated, "The U.S. government confuses the American people, when it says that it is in a war on terrorism and then, in the same breath, allows a group tied to terrorism to use government facilities. We call on Nancy Pelosi and other leaders of the Democratic Party to follow the lead of Senators Barbara Boxer, Charles Schumer and Dick Durban and recognize CAIR for what it is - a terror front."
