On Friday, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the group that said America bears some blame for the terrorist attacks in San Bernardino, California, Paris, France, and other places, issued a tweet containing what it called an “important message” from Jenifer Wicks, CAIR-National’s Litigation Director for Civil Rights.
The message included a link to a page where supporters could report a variety of alleged hate crimes or instances of perceived discrimination:

As a result, the hashtag #CAIRDemands began trending, as many took to Twitter to mock the group:
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
#CAIRDemands control of 270 electoral votes.

There’s plenty more, but you get the picture.
Earlier Friday, news broke that Attorney General Loretta Lynch promised a Muslim group the Department of Justice would prosecute those who use “anti-Muslim rhetoric” that “edges toward violence.”
Ironically, CAIR’s page says it would consider cases dealing with freedom of speech. “For example,” it explains, “a dean suspends a student for writing an article that endorses Islam.”
In short, the group supports free speech for itself and its supporters, while others can potentially face prosecution.
