CAIR-California’s Affad Shaikh is a rebel Islamist. While he performs the normal extremist activities, like obsess over Israel, rail against American troops, and defend militant Islamic groups overseas, he also does many things that could be considered unbecoming of a CAIR leader, at least by CAIR’s disjointed standards of conduct.

Affad Shaikh is the Civil Rights Coordinator of CAIR-Los Angeles, the main office of CAIR-California, one of the main offices of CAIR itself. Although, he has another role as well, which seems to take up more of his time, and that is as an internet blogger.

When he was stopped with others at the US-Mexico border, suspected of plotting to murder President Bush, he blogged about it. When he wanted to express his anger about what he thought was the Pope’s “extremism,” he blogged about it. And when he felt the need to tell his fellow Muslims that they should end their full participation in interfaith gatherings with Jews, calling the gatherings a “façade,” he blogged about that too.
