Dozens of terror profiles in the database owned by Thomson Reuters seen by VICE News include:
- Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Executive Director, Nihad Awad, one of a select group of American Muslim leaders invited to join former US President George W. Bush in a press conference condemning the 9/11 attacks. CAIR, the recipient of multiple leadership awards, is also terror-listed by World-Check.
- Liberal Democrat politician Maajid Nawaz, who founded counter-extremism think tank Quilliam and has advised successive British prime ministers.
- Former World Bank and Bank of England advisor Mohamed Iqbal Asaria, who was given a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) award in the 2005 Queen's Honours List for services to international development.

I consider CAIR to be an Islamist apologist organization that obfuscates issues to the detriment of oppressed minorities (gays, women and apostates foremost among them) in Muslim-majority countries... but these sorts of lists are just a non-starter, regardless of what one might think of the positions of anyone on them. Fascistic witch-hunt garbage.
