Expose the subversive activities of Islamist extremists around the world or in the United States and speedy CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) pops up with accusations of Islamophobia.

Before Abdurahman Alamoudi, a U.S. citizen and prominent leader of Washington's Muslim community confessed to a Libyan-funded assassination plot, CAIR denounced his detractors as Muslim bashers. CAIR suddenly fell silent when Alamoudi plea-bargained with the U.S. for a lighter sentence, in the range of a quarter-century, instead of life for his part in a Gadhafi plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Abdullah.

It would behoove CAIR to care more about an institutional memory called MEMRI (the Middle East Media Research Institute) and read or listen to what it plucks daily from Islam's air waves.
