Their propagandists say, "We denounce all forms of terror," which they use to begin reciting the littany of "offenses" against them, which on examination turn out to be only their victims fighting back. When Muslims blow up Hindu temples no one listens to Hindu complaints, but when Hindus return the favor, Muslims call them "fanatics." They say, "This behavior is forbidden in Islam," but nowhere is it punished by anything more than a handslap at worst. They say you can't depict their "prophet," but this mural on a "modern" Iranian mosque sure looks like it couldn't be anyone else:

They complain if we don't handle their precious terrorist manual with kid-gloves, then they blow up one of their "holiest" mosques, shown here before and after:

They have NO sensibilities, as the following observations regarding their demands for respect (and apologies for depicting them for the wild beasts they are) show when contrasted with the kind of behavior that CAIR and like-minded terror appologists support.

"Can anyone remember an apology coming to Indonesia for the bombings there by radical Islamists?
Did the British get an apology for the bombings of its subway?
Who has heard one representative of any radical Islamic group apologize for the death and
destruction wrought in America on 9/11?
etc., etc.,...

... Terrorism by any other name is still just terrorism, insulted prophets notwithstanding. If free nations have decided not to negotiate with terrorists on any level then we are forced to ask, why then are we making apologies for cartoons?"

And still, as Dr. Pipes points out, "...the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) is gaining acceptance among the gullible, the ignorant, or the foolish as a legitimate 'civil liberties group'."

CAIR's disinformation specialists and terrorist appologists are regular panelists on Tampa's Channel 13 news whenever Channel 13 wants input from Muslims on a topic relating to them. I've sent Channel 13 information about CAIR which clearly documents that organization's far from impartial status, but haven't even received acknowledgement of it's receipt. It is frustrating, as I've pointed out in previous posts, that CAIR continues to be perceived as anything but the monsters they are.

It seems that not much has changed since last year ( http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/194 ), except perhaps that things have gotten worse. As long as these propagandists are deferred to as if they were objective experts, then we will continue loosing our war with barbarism from the top down, and from the inside out.
