Let it be known that Reza Aslan is a member of #Iran's lobby group @NIACouncil.

2)
Sen. Warren officially voiced gratitude for Reza Aslan’s endorsement.
Aslan is member of #Iran’s DC-based lobby group @NIACouncil & has close relations with Tehran's regime.
Congress is considering a probe into NIAC. It is now more imperative than ever before.
3)
Aslan has very close relations with Iran’s regime.
This is his picture with former Iranian regime president Mohammad Khatami.
Note:
Iranian regime officials only take pictures with people whom they fully trust & are certain of their utter loyalty.

NIAC is a “pro-Tehran advocacy group with deep ties to the Iranian regime, played a key role in the Obama admin's pro-Iran ‘echo chamber,’ which misled Congress & the American people about the terms of the landmark 2015 nuclear deal.”

5)
Reza Aslan is also a member of the @CFR_org, the same entity that has invited Iran's FM @JZarif for an online event this coming Tuesday.
This thread sheds light on this topic.
6)
Even CNN could not tolerate Aslan, firing him & cancelling his show after he claimed to be eating human brains.
And of course, NIAC, instead of criticizing Aslan, was furious about CNN firing Aslan.

“Some Indians and American Hindu groups say the opening episode of his CNN series, Believers, which focuses on the obscure Aghori sect, was ‘Hinduphobic’ & sensationalised aspects of the world’s third largest-religion.”

And during these troubling times, Aslan has constantly resorted to revolting remarks, all for the sake of spreading hate & gaining RTs / likes.
Shame.
9)
This is from Aslan about Todd Akin, a former U.S. Representative for Missouri's 2nd congressional district, serving from 2001 to 2013.
Aslan went on to delete this tweet.
The damage, however, was done.
10)
Let it be known that Reza Aslan, who has known ties to #Iran's DC-based lobby group @NIACouncil, publicly encouraged the use of torture.
@Twitter did not take action when it should have.
11)
More examples of Reza Aslan using Twitter to spread his hatred.
12)
Finally, as an Iran regime apologist/lobbyist, one of Aslan’s missions was to portray the regime president @HassanRouhani as a moderate/reformist for Obama to engage with.

ADDENDUM:
For the record
"Reza Aslan is adjunct senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)..."

ADDENDUM:
Reza Aslan is a member of @NIACouncil, the Iran lobby group founded by @tparsi.
Parsi & former Iranian ambassador @hmousavian were invited over 30 times to the Obama/Biden White House to blueprint the flawed nuclear deal.

ADDENDUM:
Parsi is not the VP of @QuincyInst, a Washington, D.C., think tank that has promoted anti-Semitic voices and parroted pro-Iran talking points.

Just noticed this typo after four days
Parsi is "now" the VP of ...
