CAIR Leader Nihad Awad’s Praise for Palestinian Terror Should Come as No Surprise

As Hamas terrorists spilled across the southern border of Israel, raping women, massacring concertgoers, beheading farmhands, and burning children alive, the leader of the most influential American Muslim lobbying group in the country attacked the Jewish state.

“All Arab peoples must go out on Sunday, October 8th, and every day, in demonstrations in support of the Palestinians and in rejection of normalization with the occupier and the apartheid regime,” Nihad Awad, the executive director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), wrote on October 7 — before Israel had even responded to the atrocities. The community leader even went so far as to apply Martin Luther King Jr.’s description of a riot as the “language of the unheard” to the events of 10/7.
