CAIR and the anti-CAIR

LGF reports on anti-CAIR, a much needed and important website which shines the spotlight on the folks at the Council on American-Islamic Relations. The group postures itself as the voice of moderate Islam, but when examined more closely, it has decided connections to terrorist organizations. Andrew Whitehead, who runs the site, just reached an out of court settlement in a suit filed by the terrorist apologists against him. Indications are that, in the case, he would have revealed a little more information than they might have liked.
