About CAGE from Wikipedia: "The organisation has been criticised as "apologists for terrorism",[7] as a "terrorism advocacy group" and of "propagating the myth of Muslim persecution".[8] While others deny this and claim they are doing "vital work".[7]" and "The journalist Terry Glavin in The National Post described the organisation as "a front for Taliban enthusiasts and al Qaida devotees that fraudulently presents itself a human rights group".[16]".
- k-mcgrady 9y agoAlso from Wikipedia: "CAGE, formerly Cageprisoners Ltd, is a London-based advocacy organisation which aims to "empower communities impacted by the War on Terror" and "highlight and campaign against state policies pertaining to the War on Terror".[2][3] The organisation was formed to raise awareness of the plight of the detainees held at Guantánamo Bay and elsewhere as a result of the War on Terror and has worked closely with former detainees held by the United States and campaigns on behalf of current detainees held without trial.[2][4][5]"
- triplesec 9y agoAs with the other response to your comment: there will always be some on the right that claim this. The truth tends to lie in examining the details and actions of people, rather than asssuming that an organisation standing up for the rights of muslims is necessarily going to be a terrorism-supporting organisation. I don't know in this case, but we give a lot more leeway to extreme churches, for example.
