For every finger CAIR points at someone.......

there are four fingers pointing back at them......I know that is a silly thing to say, but it seems to me that the reality is the opposite, and CAIR has a phobia for any differing point of view, any contradiction to their thoughts, or any reasoned rebuttal to their ideology. The reality is that they are afraid of you. At one time the weapon of crying that they were victims of Islamaphobia was very effective especially when the news media refused to offer voices of rebuttal. Now that the light is shining on them brightly, and we have alternate paths of learning about the world other than the main stream media, many see them for what they really are and their loud shouting is to an empty room.

The one thing I disagree with, is that in my opinion, Islam itself is radical with little room for moderation. There are followers of Islam that are moderate but the faith itself and the behavior of it's prophet and the demands of it's diety are extreme and in fact fit perfectly to one who wishes to lead a life of militancy , violence, and war.
