Zuhdi Jasser, a Syrian-American, runs the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, a right-wing one-man-show he founded in 2003. He is also "one of the founding members" of Center for Islamic Pluralism (CIP), an organization set up by notorious Islamophoboe Daniel Pipes.[1] [2] The group also has Pipes' endorsement of course.[3]. In a debate on CNN, he was accused of Islamophobia by Islam scholar Reza Aslan for making wild accusations about the funding of a new Islamic centre in New York. He is a backer of far-right pro-Israel Republican Joshua Scharf.
