Cair letter to Marco Rubio: We're being targeted for Palestine advocacy

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair) sent a letter to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio asking for clarification on his recent remarks. Rubio suggested on a radio show that a terror designation for the group was "in the works." Cair's letter argues that the organization is being targeted by conservative lawmakers and pro-Israel groups because of its advocacy for Palestinian rights and criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza. The group defended its record of condemning all forms of bigotry and terrorism, noting it has been targeted by extremist groups like ISIS.
