Another anti-Muslim group wants to hold event at Trump's Palm Beach resort, Mar-a-Lago

The Center for Security Policy, a Washington-based think tank whose founder erroneously called former President Barack Obama a Muslim, received a permit from the City of Palm Beach on Oct. 4, city officials said. The group wants to hold its event on Nov. 23, the Saturday before Thanksgiving.

It received the permit two days before the Trump Organization said the anti-Muslim group ACT for America would “absolutely not” be allowed to hold its annual gala at the Palm Beach club. The Southern Poverty Law Center has designated ACT as a “hate group.”

ACT for America was advertising tickets on its website for the Mar-a-Lago gala, with seats starting at $1,500. The Trump Organization’s statement about the group not having its gala there came after the Miami Herald had published a story about the event.

On Thursday, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, called on the Trump Organization to cancel the Center for Security Policy event.
