US religious freedom rep accused of being funded by anti-Islam groups

A Muslim civil liberties organization has renewed calls to investigate a Muslim representative of the federal government's religious freedom commission, accusing him of receiving money from those that back prominent anti-Islam groups. 

The Council on American-Islamic Relations questioned the ability of M. Zuhdi Jasser, who serves as the vice chair of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, to objectively advocate for religious freedom, given the source of his funding.
