Kind of related, though not a chairman, North Carolina congressional candidate Renee Ellmers:

Weigel - Republican Who Ran Anti-Islam “Victory Mosque” Ad Headed to Foreign Affairs Committee

Ugh, great, I remember her. A real piece of work.

BTW, remember that bloggingheads.tv video you posted a few weeks back with the Naval Academy professor discussing shariah? I passed it around to some friends, and his level of knowledge combined with his calm objectivity was so appreciated & respected that it will be used by another professor in one of his classes at a large university in NYC.

I wish there were more people like him who could discuss Islam minus all the politics, emotion, and hyperbole and without coming across as an apologist.
