"The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) will be honoring veteran White House correspondent Helen Thomas with their “Lifetime Achievement Award” at the group’s 16th annual fundraising banquet...Tariq Ramadan, an Islamic Studies professor the Bush administration banned from traveling to U.S. in 2004 and who was only recently was permitted entry, will be the evening’s keynote speaker."

CAIR distances itself from disturbing comments by Helen Thomas, its 2010 ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ honoree | The Daily Caller - Breaking News, Opinion, Research, and Entertainment

"On September 19, 2006, the government formally denied Ramadan's visa application. A State Department statement said: 'A U.S. consular officer has denied Dr. Tariq Ramadan's visa application. The consular officer concluded that Dr. Ramadan was inadmissible based solely on his actions, which constituted providing material support to a terrorist organization.' On January 20, 2010, after more than five years of waiting, the American State Department has decided, in a document signed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to lift the ban that prohibited Ramadan (as well as Professor Adam Habib from South Africa) from entering the United States. On April 8, 2010, Ramadan spoke as part of a panel discussion at the Great Hall of Cooper Union in New York City, his first public appearance since the State Department lifted the ban. The group debated the lengths to which Western nations should go to accommodate their Muslim populations."

Well, there you go.

CAIR, the largest Muslim organization in the US, has a long history of terrorist associations.

"The Department of Homeland Security refuses to deal with it. Senator Charles Schumer (Democrat, New York) describes it as an organization "which we know has ties to terrorism." Senator Dick Durbin (Democrat, Illinois) observes that CAIR is "unusual in its extreme rhetoric and its associations with groups that are suspect." Steven Pomerantz, the FBI's former chief of counterterrorism, notes that "CAIR, its leaders, and its activities effectively give aid to international terrorist groups." The family of John P. O'Neill, Sr., the former FBI counterterrorism chief who perished at the World Trade Center, named CAIR in a lawsuit as having "been part of the criminal conspiracy of radical Islamic terrorism" responsible for the September 11 atrocities. Counterterrorism expert Steven Emerson calls it "a radical fundamentalist front group for Hamas."

It's certainly no surprise that they're honoring the hag Helen "Jews get the hell out" Thomas.
