CAIR-Action: Mamdani’s Comment on ‘Intifada’ Motto Fuels Tension in Mayor’s Race – New York Times
Basim Elkarra, the executive director of CAIR Action, the political arm of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, defended Mr. Mamdani. He said the phrase in question was used by some human-rights activists “to call for nonviolent, worldwide solidarity aimed at securing equal rights and safety for everyone in the region.”
Mr. Elkarra placed the assemblyman in that group, and said attempts to “twist” the term would only silence advocacy and hurt Palestinians.

CAIR: ‘Unqualified yes man’ Hegseth torn apart for conduct and ‘questionable tattoo’ – Irish Star
It was reported that the government official “Kafir” tattoo, which in Arabic translates as “infidel” or “nonbeliever.” It was added that members on the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), have argued that by displaying the word, it is a sign of hostility toward Islam and demonstrates anti-Muslim sentiment. Other critics have called it Islamophobic.
Hegseth also allegedly has a tattoo with the Latin phrase “Deus Vult.” The meaning behind the phrase stated “God Wills It,” which was apparently a rallying cry during the First Crusade.
