As a routine of sowing divisions in the US, after the trial of [[Kyle Rittenhouse]], it gave its "input" that it's supposedly: "Hard to imagine ‘black or Muslim defendant in the same circumstances being found not guilty.’"<ref>CAIR Says ‘Nearly Impossible to Imagine Acquittal of a Black or Muslim Defendant’ Engaged in Same Conduct as Kyle Rittenhouse,” by Ismail Allison, CAIR, November 19, 2021</ref> Deceitfully, conveniently linking black and Muslim.

Overview<ref>https://canarymission.org/organization/Council_On_American_Islamic_Relations Council On American Islamic Relations], Canary Mission</ref><blockquote>
The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) is an “Islamic advocacy group,” based in Washington, D.C. that describes itself as a “nonprofit, grassroots civil rights and advocacy organization” and “America’s largest Muslim civil liberties organization.”
While the group’s stated mission is to “enhance understanding of Islam, protect civil rights, promote justice, and empower American Muslims,” the group lobbies on national, state and chapter levels, for various anti-Israel initiatives.
CAIR regularly issues “action alerts,” encouraging readers to send prepared letters to United States Members of Congress on various issues and pieces of legislation. The group also puts out press releases, writes op-eds and offers speakers as well as videos and studies meant to be used by the media.
As part of its activities the group has fought against the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act (AAA), promoted the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, demonized Israel and attempted to diminish American support for Israel.
CAIR has also partnered with a wide variety of other anti-Israel groups including Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and American Muslims for Palestine (AMP).
The group was founded “in 1994 by several leaders of the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), a now-defunct organization that was once described by the U.S. government as part of ‘Hamas’ propaganda apparatus.”
Many of CAIR’s leaders have also expressed hatred of Israel and Zionism.
In November 2014, CAIR, along with the Muslim American Society (MAS), was reportedly listed as a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates (UAE).</blockquote>
