A letter signed by more than 80 Muslim organizations has been sent to the U.S. Department of Justice urging it to launch an investigation into an anti-Muslim group that was allegedly spying on Muslim groups in America.

The signatories have urged the Department of Justice to look into the evidence that the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) has spent over a decade conspiring to infiltrate and spy upon prominent mosques, Muslim advocacy groups and Muslim leaders, including a member of Congress, for the benefit of a foreign government (Israel).

The letter reads: “This systematic campaign of spying touched nearly every prominent Muslim organization in the United States, including the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the Islamic Networks Group (ING), the Muslim Alliance of North America (MANA), Muslim American Society (MAS), the Muslim Legal Fund of America (MLFA), Muslim Advocates, the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), among others, and even an educational institution, Zaytuna College.”

The letter was sent by CAIR to Attorney General Merrick Garland, Inspector General Michael Horowitz, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Kristen Clarke, and U.S. Department of Justice on January 30th.

CAIR is conducting its own internal investigation over the alleged spying by the IPT.
