I think its absolutely wonderful that the executive director of an
organization is so willing to jump to its defense.

Wonderful, if a little uninformative or unconvincing.

<I didn't take the time to bother verifying the facts in this piece.  There
is an interesting number quoted regarding funding of Mosques in the US.
Pure yellow journalism and condemnation by innuendo, IMHO, I link to it as
an illustration of the kind of communication breakdowns which lead to
misunderstandings>

I've actually come around to your line of thinking on CAIR Greg.  Although
there have been some 'interesting' comments coming from Mr. Hooper and a few
others, I doubt CAIR has a an agenda other than its stated one of increasing
awareness of Islam in America.
