Tweets Razan Saffour @RazanSpeaks · 12h Wassalam - thank you for acknowledging the mistake. Will you rescind the award? Mate has spent a decade spreading dangerous disinformation about Syria and perpetuating Islamophobic narratives against the Syrian people—echoing talking points indistinguishable from Zionist Edward Ahmed Mitchell @EdAhmedMitchell Completely understand. We are going to meet Monday to discuss this further and then can post a follow-up with any next steps, insha Allah. For now, I just wanted to make sure the community knows that this was truly an oversight. Late nominees slipped through the vetting cracks amid the chaos of banquet planning. Truly a mistake and won't happen again, insha Allah.

UPDATE: The Deputy Director of CAIR, Edward Ahmed Mitchell came on Twitter to respond to complaints and state that the CAIR apologizes and says the awarding was a "vetting oversight."
Mitchell says that the CAIR board plans to meet on Monday to discuss the matter.
As of yet, CAIR itself hasn't formally commented, nor has it revoked the award.
