Tell It To The Mainstream Media

I have seen the CAIR ads demonizing Israel during the Gaza war. As Robert Spencer refers to them, they are Hamas-linked. Despite this, I often read that CAIR, referred to as a "Muslim civil rights organization" in the press, has pressured this or that individual, business or media organization about some alleged anti-Muslim discriminatory activity that must be remedied.

I therefore am skeptical that CAIR is going to be categorized as a fringe hate group any time soon. The Left, for whom evil is strictly Western racism, is too powerful.
