Encouraging news

This is the first time that I have read of pro bono defenses being offered by law firms in responding to CAIR and other litigious entities that seem not to understand that free speech for both sides is fundamental to a true democracy. This is encouraging news and speaks well for Mr Pipes' tireless efforts to bring these Islamist organizations into the spotlight of public opinion. What would be even more encouraging to hear is news that the many thousands of Muslims who are said to be peace loving and wish only to become part of the land of free would begin to be heard denouncing the actions of CAIR and its counterparts.
