Terror Group CAIR’s Capitol Pipeline: Training Muslim Youth to Turn Islamic Values Into Political Power, Pushing for 5,000 Muslim Candidates Nationwide
The camel’s nose in the tent was allowing CAIR to operate unchecked on American soil. Now, after years of looking the other way, the camel is no longer asking to enter the tent. It means to run the whole damn circus.
CAIR’s California chapter hosted its Muslim Youth Leadership Program at the State Capitol, training over 600 students since 2005 on policy and civic engagement; alumni have reached Harvard, Stanford, and political offices. Following the midterms, Muslims celebrated victories like Abdul El-Sayed’s U.S. Senate seat in Michigan and at least seven in Congress, with CAIR tracking 255 officials nationwide.
“The U.S. Department of Justice had previously named CAIR as an unindicted co-conspirator in a criminal prosecution of the Holy Land Foundation in Dallas, Texas for allegedly funneling millions of dollars to the terrorist organization Hamas.”
CAIR has been designated a terror organization by the states of Florida and Texas. Additionally, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) named CAIR a terrorist organization along with al-Qaeda and ISIS in 2014.”

But the stealth jihad pursues conquest by subtler means, on multiple fronts. We are watching the “long march through the institutions” as a political strategy. Election jihad.

“They set people on courses to go to Harvard, Yale, Ivy Leagues, they set people to Stanford and then people have also gone on to win political office, gone on to be leaders in different industries just from this program alone.”
“My favorite part about the Muslim Youth Leadership Program is the bridging between Islamic values and political advocacy. I’ve learned that there is space for both to exist and that they can actually support each other rather than be separated.” — Yasmeen ElMezain, CAIR-SD Student Senator
Some additional information I looked into:
The 5,000 Muslims+ figure was announced by CAIR-Arizona official Imraan Siddiqi: “We need like 5,000 Muslims to run for office.”
MYLP is a four-day program at the Sacramento Capitol for Muslim high schoolers. The 2026 session ran July 22–25 with about 40 students, and CAIR-CA says more than 600 have taken part since 2005. That’s for CAIR California and CAIR-LA
We have to designate CAIR a domestic terrorist organization and ban it nationwide. They are training Muslims and paying for Muslims candidates to take office in America
We can’t let this continue
