CAIR Attacks LGF

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (lgf: search), at least five of whose employees and board members have been arrested, convicted, deported, or otherwise linked to terrorism-related charges and activities, has sent out one of their infamous “Action Alerts” about … the Lizardoid Nation: Incitement: Threats on Internet Hate Site.

Cherry-picking through LGF comments (a favorite pastime of smear artists, despite the very obvious disclaimer at the top of every comments page), they single out two from a thread about American teenager Daniel Wultz, who was murdered in Tel Aviv by a Palestinian suicide bomber. (CAIR members who click those links are in for a surprise, by the way.)

Joe Kaufman at FrontPage also noticed the Action Alert, and has written a piece exploring the possible reasons why CAIR would want to smear LGF instead of condemning the suicide attack that killed Daniel Wultz: CAIR Islamic Jihad.

Two Sundays ago, an e-mail was sent out by CAIR denouncing the website, Little Green Footballs (LGF), for what CAIR said were two threats aimed at Muslims found in the comments section of a blog entry on the site.  One of the comments was no doubt a threat.  It stated, “The next time someone in a truckstop or a Starbucks or a library or any public place says ANYTHING even resembling support for the Muslim ‘cause’ WILL be sent to either the hospital or worse…just waiting to bash someones face in. no more games.”  To the website’s credit, the dangerous comment was removed.  The other quote, which was a strongly worded statement against the religion of Islam and those the author referred to as “Muslim savages,” was allowed to stay and was later debated.
 
While CAIR proudly displayed the offending quotes and, at the same time, unjustly and irresponsibly labeled LGF an “internet hate site,” a vital piece of information was missing from the e-mail.  The blog entry, from where the quotes came, was an announcement of the death of Daniel Wultz, who had passed soon after waking out of a nine-day coma.  The entry was titled, ‘US Teen Murdered by Palestinians.’
 
Many of the blog comments offered prayers to the Wultz family.  Others dealt with the terrorist groups’ reactions to Wultz’s injuries.  In an interview with Aaron Klein from World Net Daily, Abu Ayman, a PIJ leader, said, “Our hero believed in Allah and died while fighting for Allah but your pig was killed in a restaurant in an area full of prostitution.”  And Abu Nasser, a leader of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the other group responsible for the attack, stated, “This is a gift from Allah.  We wish this young dog will go directly with no transit to hell.”  With comments such as these and others made before them, posters on LGF were understandably upset.
 
CAIR strangely left all of that out.  Why?
