You should run, not walk, to my buddy Steve Emerson's outstanding site, the Investigative Project on Terrorism (which Steve heads).. . the IPT is in the midst of a 10-part series which will be the closest scrutiny ever done on the Council for American-Islamic Relations. As the IPT sums it up:
[A] careful review of the history, activities, statements, and causes of and by CAIR, it seems that its primary goals are to silence and de-legitimize its critics and redefine what it means to be a moderate Muslim. And when it comes to U.S. efforts to crack down on terrorists and their financiers, CAIR takes an almost visceral stand in opposition. This has the effect of undermining the legitimate security-related concerns and campaigns of the United States and its allies. These conclusions and the summary immediately below are based upon the evidence and examples that follow in this report; beginning with CAIR's very founding.
The first four installments are available here.
