This not a recent article, but didn't appear to be in the FR archives (and should be). I've edited it to make the addresses in the index live links.

I look forward to the day when we all will be happily toasting marhsmellows over CAIR offices, Wahhabi mosques, and Islamist "charities" here in the US.

[MissAmericanPie]

Wasn't the head of CAIR a big contributor to Hillary's war chest? I wonder if the head of CAIR attended the Rahmadan celebration at the "People's House"?

Good one.

Well, I thought I had done. Let me try again:

Ping!

[Humidston]

Great one, Stultis!

Hopefully, Fox News Network will read this as well. And NOT invite Ibrahim ("Dougie") Hooper back on any of their talk shows as a spokesman for Muslims!

BUMP

Council on American-Islamic Relations

The name says it all. You can't be a Muslim AND an American. They are two different things.

[Maceman]

Scarcely 10 percent of American Muslims can be classified as Islamists—the extremist fringe of contemporary Islam. An additional 5 percent are sympathizers, and another 5 percent agree with Islamists on certain issues.

I'd love to know the source for these figures.

"need to teach Americans about the difference between law-abiding, moderate Muslims and Islamist extremists"

The "moderate" Muslims could do a great job themselves by speaking out against terror, but they will not....

...because 95% of them support it!
