The difference between the American perspective on Muslims, and the American perspectives on Jews and Blacks?...Good for CAIR. Southern Policy Law Center has a list of anti-Muslim hate groups. Quite a bit of overlap. It's about time folks started challenging these charlatans in the open. Jews and Blacks are well ahead of the curve in exposing anti-semites and racists masquerading as "legitimately concerned" citizens and patriots...
I'd say that CAIR has a slightly larger P(ublic) R(elations) problem than similar Jewish or Black -focused organizations.
Then again, if I was an organization with known close ties - past and/or present - to Radical-Militant Islamist organizations - I'd be tempted to hide behind advocacy on behalf of religious egalitarianism and equivalency, myself.
A handful of Muslim terrorists - TERRORISTS - conducted this act. Frankly, I get sick and tired of people using this imagery in an attempt to stoke intolerance and justify hate- the same kind of hatred that drove those terrorists to do what they did. It's a slap in the face to the people who suffered and died in that event - and who included amongsyt their number Muslims.
CAIR is doing what needs to be done. Some one needs to turn over these stones publically and expose the hate groups for what they are.
