CAIR has well-documented ties to terrorism, but resorts to intimidation when faced with people trying to expose those ties. CAIR tried to intimidate one of its critics, former U.S. Rep. Cass Ballenger, with a lawsuit, but a federal appeals court put a stop to it. From the AP:

A federal appeals court on Tuesday upheld the dismissal of an American Muslim civil rights group’s defamation lawsuit against former U.S. Rep. Cass Ballenger, who linked the group to terrorists in a 2003 interview.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations sued Ballenger for $2 million, saying the congressman’s comments damaged its reputation and good name. The group has denied any links to terrorism.
