Ibrahim Hooper

Ibrahim Hooper (born Doug Hooper), a convert to Islam, is the National Communications Director and spokesperson for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Washington D.C.-based Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization.

Early life

He holds a bachelor's degree in history, and a master's of art in journalism and mass communications. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, Hooper worked as a news producer at KSTP-TV, the ABC affiliate in Minneapolis.

• On Tucker Carlson's MSNBC show, Hooper stated that "to my knowledge we [CAIR] don't take money from the government of Saudi Arabia." However, critics have argued that despite never having directly taken money from the Saudi government, CAIR and CAIR-championed projects in the United States have accepted considerable sums of money from "Saudi Wahhabis and Hamas".
