| Chief of CAIR in Florida is accused of multiple sex harrassments |
| 2021-04-16 |
| [this is from NPR - who insist on calling CAIR a civil rights organization but at least they covered the story] For months, stories swirled around a prominent Muslim civil rights leader, alleging secret marriages, bullying, sexual harassment. Then, late last year, some of the allegations against 34-year-old Hassan Shibly burst into public view. In a video posted on GoFundMe, Shibly's estranged wife, mother of their three children, looked directly into the camera and begged for help. She said her abusive husband had cut her off financially. "For years, I've been in an abusive relationship, and the situation at home has become unbearable," Imane Sadrati said. "I finally decided to build the courage to start over for my children and I." The accusations were shocking not only in their content but in the public airing of a nationally recognized Muslim leader's personal drama. For a decade, Shibly led the prominent Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR.

| #1 Shibly said that he did enter into religious marriage contracts with women outside his legal marriage when he and his wife were separated and prior to that — with her permission and when he felt their marriage was essentially over. He denies that any of the relationships were secret or abusive and described them as courtships. Most religious scholars do not see a conventional Islamic marriage as legitimate unless it is publicly declared, and having more than one wife is generally frowned upon in jurisdictions where that's not allowed under local law. I suppose it will be argued that the women believed they were in real Sharia marriages that are not legally binding under secular state law, as opposed to believing that the marriages were legal. |
