Omar Ahmad is the founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Washington D.C.-based Islamic advocacy group.
He had been the chairman of CAIR's board of directors since its founding in 1994, but stepped down from that position in May 2005.[1] At the time that he resigned, CAIR claimed to be the largest Muslim civil liberties organization in the United States, with over 30 regional offices and chapters.[2]
Omar Ahmad has argued Shariah law should replace the Constitution of the United States:
"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant," he told a Muslim audience in Fremont, Calif., in 1998. "The Quran should be the highest authority in America."[3]
