In March, 2021, this CAIR executive director Nihad Awad and Esam Omeish, a board member at the Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Va., offered tributes to a top [[Hamas]] leader who died in Ramallah.
“May Allah have mercy on you Dr. Akram Kharroubi, you were an excellent brother, friend, scholar and help to others,” wrote Awad. Awad described Kharroubi as a “great figure” who was “kind-hearted, honest in speech, cheerful in countenance, strict in truth, patient with adversity” and had spent his life “in the occupation prisons after leaving work and life in Washington.”<ref>Abha Shankar, "[https://www.jns.org/opinion/us-islamist-leader-eulogizes-jordanian-who-predicted-palestinians-will-rid-world-of-jews/ US Islamist leader eulogizes Jordanian who predicted ‘Palestinians will rid world of Jews’]", ''JNS'', Feb 10, 2022.</ref>
CAIR is registered as a lobbying group and is required by tax laws to report to the IRS contributions over $5,000. The organization skirts disclosure laws by playing a shell game with 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) branches.
