re: #762 harpsicon

I’m coming late to this thread, but couldn’t the same thing be said about CAIR?

No. The Council of American Islamic Relations has actual ties to an actual terrorist group, Hamas. When Bush and the FBI and others were associating with them, I was highly critical of them — and eventually, the facts came out about CAIR during the Holy Land Foundation trial, and the FBI cut off ties to them, as they should have long before.

The cases are not even close to being comparable. The NCLR has never been involved in terrorism, and never had ties to terrorist groups. Again — you may not like what they stand for or their agenda, but comparing them to the KKK or CAIR is just ludicrous and wrong. It’s not going to work, and anyone who does it is going to end up with massive egg on their faces.
