Obama’s final State of the Union address has come and gone. As expected Obama played the Muslim victim card, and didn’t give one mention to the US Navy sailors arrested by Iran today. Guess who was also invited to the State of the Union? None other than CAIR – the Muslim group with ties to terrorism. I’m surprised there wasn’t any yells of Allahu Ackbar tonight.

Politicians often bring guests to the President’s State of the Union address, sometimes to make a partisan point. This year that privilege is being stretched beyond the bounds of decency: At least two members of a radical Islamic group will be attending as guests of Members of Congress, supposedly to represent American Muslims. That is a disgrace.
Representatives are bringing leaders from the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). CAIR says it is an “advocate for justice and mutual understanding.” Yet after the San Bernardino terror attacks last month, CAIR was the chief public advocate for the terrorists’ family, even arguing in court that they should retain custody of the terrorists’ child.
CAIR’s executive director, Nihad Awad, has stated publicly he supports the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. CAIR itself was designated a terrorist group by the United Arab Emirates in 2014.
