LOS ANGELES – The editors of a new book compiling the testimonies of ex-Muslims say they weren't surprised when the Council on American-Islamic Relations attacked their work without reading it.
But, say Islamic experts Joel Richardson and Susan Crimp, they were shocked that the New York Daily News characterized the group as the voice of moderate Muslims.
"Why We Left Islam: Former Muslims Speak Out," published by WND Books, was skewered by CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper in the paper – weeks before today's official release date. The book is controversial for two reasons – the gripping firsthand personal accounts of men and women who risked their lives by abandoning the Koran and because it is the first American book release to feature a picture of the prophet Muhammad on the cover.
CAIR didn't wait to look inside the cover before attacking the publisher for spewing hate. But the editors of "Why We Left Islam" say those in the media seeking the opinions of CAIR apparently don't know who they are dealing with.
"Even though CAIR wants to convince people that it's a moderate organization, the facts say otherwise," asserts Richardson, who writes using a pseudonym because of previous death threats from Islamic radicals. "The federal government named CAIR an unindicted co-conspirator in an alleged scheme to funnel $12 million to Hamas, and Representative Sue Myrick, R-N.C., said evidence suggests CAIR is a front group for the Muslim Brotherhood."

Congratulations. You were smarter than I.
...It was personal, I left out the smiley face, sorry. :)
I want this book. It tells the stories of people who managed to escape from the death cult. Their lives are in danger. One way that the death cult keeps its membership up, is by killing anyone who leaves or talks about leaving.
“Any Imam who comes even close to advocating violence should have his mosque shut down”
I’ve been saying for years; we didn’t allow German-American Bunds to operate in America during WWII; why in the world we have allowed mosques to remain open is a mystery to me.
After 9/11, BOTH borders should have been secured, ALL foreign muzzies and ALL illegals including incarcerated foreigners deported. Either we are at war or we aren’t!

Imagine if Senators were still appointed by the states. Not 10% of the populist nonsense passed into law since 1913 would have had a chance. Real adults, real senators would have worked to smack down the threat decades ago.
Today’s senators are mere three term congressmen who trade our nation’s security for their own job security.
Term limits is the only solution...
Unfortunately, chances of that happening are slim & none and Slim just left the building. LOL
