🧵 THREAD: The CAIR–Muslim Brotherhood–Hamas Pipeline They Don't Want You to See

This thread has been a long time coming.

Let's start with a simple fact:

In its 1988 charter, Hamas openly declares itself the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.

So here's the question:
🇺🇸 Why hasn't the U.S. designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization?
Seems obvious, right?

Here’s my answer 👇

If the Muslim Brotherhood is formally labeled a terror group...

➡️ Then CAIR, founded by leaders from the Brotherhood's U.S. network, gets implicated too.

And if CAIR gets implicated…

➡️ Then so do a lot of politicians.

📍And that’s the line no one in D.C. wants to cross.

So instead, the Brotherhood stays "undesignated."
CAIR keeps the civil rights label and keeps its tax advantaged nonprofit status.
And the public is left in the dark.

Patience as I pull the receipts.

CAIR was co-founded by Nihad Awad and Omar Ahmad.

Awad was the public relations director for the Islamic Association for Palestine, an organization that was convicted of providing material support for the terrorism in the United States and has since been dissolved.

Sorry, it's hard to trace sources - I'm finding out that a lot of the information about Awad and Ahmad are censored. For example, this is Ahmad's Wikipedia page - nearly empty.

Where Awad was Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP)'s public relations director, Omar Ahmad was its President.

IAP was one of the three subsidiaries of the Palestine Committee, all aimed at supporting Hamas.

So, CAIR co-founders Ahmad and Awad were intimately tied with the implicated pro-Hamas IAP, which was under the Palestine Committee umbrella.

What is the Palestine Committee? Well, it was formed by the Muslim Brotherhood to advance the cause of Hamas in the United States.

Palestine Committee consisted of three sub-organizations: IAP which was its "all-purpose" public-facing organization, Occupied Land Fund (which later became the Holy Land Foundation, HLF) which was its financial organization, and United Association for Studies and Research (UASR) as its thinktank.

CAIR claims that it does not receive foreign funding, but that is a lie. We know of at least one instance where CAIR received $250,000 from an official Saudi bank.
