Excerpt:
Two weeks after the 9/11 terror attacks, University of Florida student Raja Abdulrahim published a letter in her campus newspaper, the Independent Florida Alligator, denying that Hamas and Hezbollah are terrorist organizations. The Sept. 26, 2001 letter stated: "I decided to respond to Guy Golan's letter ('Jews must help all Arab people') from Monday's Alligator because he erroneously refers to Hamas and Hizbollah as 'fundamentalist' and 'terror organizations' that have 'murdered innocent Israeli civilians.'"
Her views were in line with those of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which in 2004 awarded her with a $2500 academic scholarship. (See CAIR's 2004 tax returns here, thanks to the Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily Report.) Also, a July 28, 2003 CAIR document (posted on the the Investigative Project on Terrorism Web site) announces that Raja Abdulrahim was one of several students to receive a one-time $5000 Journalism and Communications Scholarship Award. The announcement noted: "CAIR established the award to encourage Muslim students to pursue careers in journalism that will help bring about fairness and accuracy in the coverage of Muslims and Islam in the media."
Since then, Hamas has happily taken credit for the murder of hundreds more Israeli civilians killed in bombings, shootings, and rocket attacks. Hezbollah provoked a war with a cross-border raid, killing and capturing soldiers, and rained rockets down on communities across northern Israel, sowing death and destruction, and forcing nearly half a million to evacuate. It continues to rearm in southern Lebanon, in violation of U.N. Resolution 1701. In 2007, CAIR was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the terror finance trial against the Holy Land Foundation, a Hamas front.
