Guess How DHS is Planning on Fighting Islamic Terrorism Now?

Have you ever heard of the Council on American Islamic Relations?  According to their website:

“The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is a grassroots civil rights and advocacy group. CAIR is America’s largest Muslim civil liberties organization, with regional offices nationwide. CAIR’s national headquarters are on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. Since its establishment in 1994, CAIR has worked to promote a positive image of Islam and Muslims in America.

Takfir refers to the excommunication of a Muslim accused of unbelief. Umma refers to a community of Muslims.
