The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is a civil rights organization that sponsors voter registration and promotes cooperation with other religions and local communities but, according to the esteemed Doctor Ben Carson, CAIR is a "supporter of terrorism."
Ben Carson doesn't know jack shit about foreign policy and he can't fake it as well as Donald Trump can and, because of this, his standing in the polls has plummeted.
Team Carson is looking to reverse his downward trend and, to that end, they've released a "plan to protect America" which, among other things, calls for deploying troops along our border with Canada(!) and designating CAIR as a sponsor of terrorism.
6. President Barack Obama and Congress should immediately deploy the National Guard and military troops to patrol the U.S. southern border as well as designated spots along the northern border.
7. The Department of State should designate the Muslim Brotherhood and other organizations that propagate or support Islamic terrorism as terrorist organizations, and fully investigate the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood and a supporter of terrorism.
To say this is dangerous would be an understatement.
CAIR lawyers are representing a number of victims of anti-Muslim hate crimes and CAIR's headquarters had to be evacuated last week after they received hate mail containing a suspicious substance.
Carson's so-called Plan to Protect America calls for greater cooperation with "moderate" Arabs and Muslims, but he also seems intent on alienating such resources.
As you may recall, Carson has previously accused CAIR of breaking the law because the organization called on him to drop out of the presidential race after he said a Muslim should never become president.
