Regan Linke
General Manager
Crystal Gateway Marriott

Dear Mr. Linke,

Thank you for not allowing terror-linked and Hamas supporting Council on American Islamic Relations to use your hotel facilities for a banquet to advance its agenda which includes promoting anti-Semitism and hate towards American Jews.

CAIR’s long history of links to terrorists and Hamas should be grounds enough for Marriott to decline the use of its properties to the group in the future.

Nihad Awad, CAIR Executive Director, said "I am in support of the Hamas" movement.

In 2007, the United States Department of Justice named CAIR as “unindicted co-conspirators and/or joint venturers” in a criminal conspiracy to financially support Hamas in United States vs Holy Land Foundation.

FBI severed ties with CAIR in 2009 because of the organization’s links to Hamas. 

CAIR chapters demonstrated in the streets across America in 2014 to show their support for Hamas even declaring that “We are Hamas.”

The United Arab Emirates’ ministerial cabinet listed the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as one of 83 banned terrorist organizations on November 15, 2014.

CAIR’s news release webpage has many articles that promote support for Palestinians after its Hamas government brutally and savagely attacked thousands of Israelis on October 7, 2023.

The horror that Hamas imposed on thousands of unsuspecting Israelis on October 7, 2023 opened the eyes and hearts of many people to see the unacceptable dangers of tolerating anti-Semitism.

I urge Marriott to prevent organizations like the Council on American Islamic Relations, U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights and similar groups that have supported the Hamas governed Palestinians and promoted anti-Semitism from using Marriott hotel facilities to further their hatred toward Jews.
