Islamist Terror Group Complains About Simon Wiesenthal Center

In one corner you have the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Museum of Tolerance (the Wiesenthal Center’s educational arm). The museum teaches people to confront bigotry and racism, and to understand the Holocaust in both historic and contemporary contexts. The Seattle Police department has contracted the center's professional development programs which include Tools for Tolerance, Teaching Steps to Tolerance, Task Force Against Hate, National Institute Against Hate Crimes, and How Not to Racial profile.

In the other corner you have the domestic terror group, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). The FBI has proven CAIR to be involved with the terrorist group Hamas. In fact last year when the world guilty was read a total of 108 times in a Dallas court room as a jury convicted the Holy Land foundation and each of the defendants of raising money to fund Hamas terrorism, they were also implicating CAIR .This supposed Human rights organization was an unindicted co-conspirator in the case. Indeed one key piece of evidence was the Wiretap evidence that put CAIR's former executive director, Nihad Awad, at a Philadelphia meeting of Hamas leaders.

CAIR is not happy that the Seattle Police are using CAIR to teach people about racial profiling. It makes sense, after all the Wiesenthal Center is all about teaching tolerance and CAIR is all about teaching hate:
