Another excellent editorial from Investor’s Business Daily on the radical Islamic front group CAIR and their inflated claims of “hate crimes” against Muslims: Hyping Hate Crime Vs. Muslims.

Steven Emerson rips apart yet another ridiculous mainstream media whitewash of radical Islamic front group CAIR, this time in the St. Petersburg Times, masquerading as a “balanced report” but uncritically parroting CAIR’s propaganda: CAIR’s Friends in the Media.
