On Saturday, September 29, Rev. Al Sharpton, one of the nation’s most respected civil rights leaders, will offer the keynote address at CAIR’s annual banquet at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington, Va.
"Reverend Sharpton is a passionate defender of civil rights and a life-long advocate for social justice," said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad. "I invite American Muslims to hear what he has to say about the lessons learned and parallels between the current challenges faced by our community and those faced by other minority communities throughout our nation’s history."

With the theme "Upholding Our Constitution, Defending Our Faith," the evening banquet will also feature Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) and Imam Siraj Wahhaj. Comedian Azhar Usman will provide entertainment.
Preceding the banquet, CAIR will host its day-long leadership skills training conference with workshops such as "Answering Tough Questions About Shari," "Strategies for Challenging Anti-Islam Legislation and Campaigns," and "Maximizing the Muslim Vote in the 2012 Elections."

... Siraj Wahhaj, 2005 board member prayed that America’s “‘democracy [would] crumble,’ clearing the way for an Islamic theocracy.”
