If there’s one thing CAIR excels at it’s using thug tactics to get what they want.

Having failed in an earlier attempt to scupper the appointment of a prominent anti-Islamist Muslim to a statutory international religious freedom watchdog, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is actively trying to have him removed from the post.
CAIR, a controversial lobby group that describes itself as “America’s largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization,” wants the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) to investigate its vice-chairman, M. Zuhdi Jasser, questioning his suitability to serve on a body promoting religious freedom.
Jasser said Tuesday that Americans should wonder why CAIR seems so troubled about his presence on a commission whose work often highlights religious freedom violations by Islamic regimes “with which CAIR is apparently so cozy,” like Saudi Arabia, Iran and Muammar Gaddafi’s Libya.
CAIR has written twice in two weeks to USCIRF Chairman Robert George on the subject of Jasser, president of the non-profit American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD).
