(COLUMBUS, OHIO 1/19/2022) - CAIR National shared important updates last week on our fight to disrupt the activities of an anti-Muslim hate group that has spent years paying people to spy on Muslim activists, leaders, and organizations.
Last month, CAIR revealed that the so-called Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT), a hate group founded by far-right extremist Steven Emerson, was using “moles” to spy on the Muslim community.
Since then, CAIR’s investigation has uncovered significant new information. We now know much more about who this hate group was targeting, who it was working with, how it used money to entice and pay spies, and why it was engaged in this unethical and even illegal behavior.
This latest community update from CAIR National includes the release of additional evidence as well as statements from a second individual outside of CAIR and the state of Ohio spying for IPT, as well as a former IPT staffer.
