Someone is asleep at the switch over at CAIR. You’d think with all their money, they’d be able to hire some help to monitor the foes of jihad more closely, but for some reason only yesterday (thanks to D. C. Watson for the heads-up) did CAIR get around to noticing Boston Globe writer Cathy Young’s three-month-old hit piece in Prejudice magazine (aka Reason magazine) on Jihad Watch and Hugh Fitzgerald (as well as Little Green Footballs and Michelle Malkin).
CAIR, of course, did not inform its minions that I replied to Cathy Young and had an exchange with her. Unlike some others, we believe in free speech, and so you can find links to all of Cathy Young’s original pieces, as well as my replies, here, here, and here.
I suppose Cathy Young is proud of herself today, as her work has proven so useful to a group of which several members have been arrested and convicted of various terrorism-related activities, and which no longer contests Anti-CAIR’s characterization of it as a “terrorist supporting front organization” that “wishes nothing more than the implementation of Sharia law in America” and was “founded by Hamas supporters which [seek] to overthrow Constitutional government in the United States and replace it with an Islamist theocracy using our own Constitution as protection.”
What’s more, for all of CAIR’s professed anti-terrorism, it has never answered lingering questions about where it really stands in relation to jihadist activity, and has trumped up anti-Muslim hate crimes, apparently in order to manipulate American public opinion.
Brava, Cathy. You are proving to be very useful.
