Up until February 2006, on his personal website, Rehab referred to the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hasan al-Banna, as a “Contemporary Muslim Intellectual who influenced me” and described MB icon Sayyid Qutb, who is considered by many to be the father of the modern Islamic extremist movement, as his “Favorite Modern Personality.”
In keeping in line with the vitriol MB has for the nation of Israel, Rehab has openly attacked the Jewish state. On his site, he wrote, “I hate Zionism,” and about former President Harry S. Truman, whom he derogatorily refers to as “Harry S. Falseman,” he stated that he was one of the “worst Presidents,” because he was the “first to recognize Israel unjustly and unjustifiably.”
Given all of this, one can surmise that Ahmed Rehab’s reasoning in flinging himself head-first into these protests, in a country half-way around the globe – albeit the country he was born in – has absolutely nothing to do with freedom and democracy for the people of Egypt. To the contrary, it has to do with getting the Muslim Brotherhood, a group whose members are routinely tortured, imprisoned and ostracized by the Mubarak government, into power.
It has to do with throwing Hosni Mubarak, who is seen in the region as a key ally of Israel, out of power. It has to do with tearing down the fence that separates Egypt from Hamas in Gaza and tearing up any peace agreements that Egypt has with Israel. It has to do with bringing back the Islamic Kingdom or Caliphate that the Ikhwan (Brotherhood) believes was stolen from the Middle East by the West in the 1920s, which led to the creation of the Brotherhood.
For at least some of the people of Egypt, no doubt, they are longing for the freedom and democracy CAIR and Rehab speak of. But for CAIR and Rehab, themselves, it is nothing of the sort, and they are cynically exploiting the situation in Egypt to further their Islamist agenda.
For them, freedom and democracy are only words – merely a vehicle – leading towards the destruction of the West, as well as all her liberties, and the recreation of the Islamic Kingdom, throughout Egypt and beyond, which is why CAIR is asking Americans to support freedom in Egypt and the “Muslim World.”
As Turkey’s Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan once ominously stated, when comparing democracy to a street car, “You ride it until you arrive at your destination. Then you step off.”
The CAIR Car is just getting ready to be boarded.
Joe Kaufman is the Chairman of Americans Against Hate and the founder of CAIR Watch. He has been responsible for the closure of at least one terror-related charity and has convinced a number of government officials to shun the Hamas front group, CAIR. In June 2009, he won a lawsuit brought against him by seven Dallas-area radical Muslim organizations

It dont make a difference what role they play as long as the government keeps the people uneducated the people will never advance and evolve into productive human beings and will kill and steal to provide for there family's and this goes with the whole middle east and America will be dragged right into the middle of the mess .
I've heard of cair before. Aren't they comprised of terrorist supporters, terrorists, and "wanna be" terrorists named doug that are too fat and cowardly, that follow the teachings of what I've heard is a disgusting gutter cult that was invented by a pedophilic warlord who shat the contents of the most holy terror guide the koran, after he invented the moon god allah, and this pedophile is the perfect man to these terrorist supporters, terrorists, and wanna be fat cowards? Is that them?
Why hasn't CAIR been banned yet in spite of being named as un-indicted co-conspirator in the terror trials of Muslim charities, viz., Holy Land Foundation? What are our authorities afraid of – Muslim rage? Well they are always in rage, that is their religion, so hell with them. Ban this organization!!!
My question exactly, Jaladhi and a good one.
Look at this. You'd think CAIR was a wing of the Eagle Scouts.

NOW CAIR speaks out? Should we expect them to vilify all other regimes that suppress freedoms and operate in a political monopoly? Will they call out other Muslim countries that do not embrace political transparency or fair competition and opportunity? Will they call out Iran, Pakistan, Indonesia, Yemen, Libya, Lebanon, Turkey,… ALL and EVERY country under Islamic dominance? Oh? Not an issue for them? Yeah, I didn't think so either.
"Un-indicted co-conspirator" means not convicted of being a co-conspirator. I didn't realize we were punishing people who are fount NOT to have committed crimes…
Correction Lydia, according to the federal definition of "Unindicted Co-Conspirator," it is a group or individual who was part of the criminal conspiracy, but that, for whatever reason, the government chose not to indict. It is exactly how the term reads. It is a co-conspirator who was not indicted. It has nothing to do with being or not being convicted. It only means that they were part of the crime but were not indicted for the crime. I hope that clears things up for you and others. – Joe

CAIR stands for the Council on American Islamic Relations not cairo LOL
Osama bin Laden. The Mideast is going to fall to the Muslim Brotherhood. They will move on Europe. Time for the US to pass a Constitutional Amendment outlawing Sharia in this country, with strict penalties for violations of the amendment.
Ah CAIR: the Zogby run front group for jihadist-sharia-madresses terror orgs and the Left's fave American Muslim org. Does anyone really trust these 5th Columnists?? I remember Quisling in Norway. These people are simply not to be trusted and if the Bros get into power in Egypt, you can be sure a Jimmy Carter rerun of the Iran mess will occur. Obama is the most inept Prez domestically and internationally and this CAIR group could act as his agents in Hollywood when he finally leaves his regime. The Islamic relations we Americans need is………..please will all the Islamofascists assume room temperature.
