CAIR blamed 9/11 on US support for Israel, recommended bin Laden's writings in back to school guide

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has drawn criticism for a back-to-school guide that attributes the 9/11 attacks to U.S. support for Israel and recommends the writings of Osama bin Laden. The guide is part of CAIR's broader campaign to inform students and educators about their rights amid rising anti-Muslim sentiment and attacks on free speech. The controversy stems from CAIR's attribution of the 9/11 attacks to U.S. foreign policy, specifically its support for Israel.

The New York Post and The Jerusalem Post both noted that the guide recommends bin Laden's writings, a move that has sparked outrage and debate. The Daily Wire also covered the story, focusing on CAIR's stance on 9/11. CAIR launched the campaign to address record levels of anti-Muslim hate and to protect the rights of Muslim students.

The guide, aimed at both students and educators, provides information on legal rights and how to navigate potential discrimination. The open question is how this controversy will affect CAIR's ongoing efforts to combat anti-Muslim sentiment and promote free speech.
