From Europe News:
It is now nearly twenty-four hours since the FBI arrested an illegal immigrant from Morocco on charges that he was planning — indeed, on the way — to bomb the U.S. Capitol, as well as to shoot at any innocent bystanders who happened to be in the vicinity. And so far, the Council on American-Muslim Relations, which calls itself the voice of the American Muslim community, has failed to issue a single statement.
Indeed, rather than condemn 29-year-old Amine el Khalifi, who was charged with "attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction,” CAIR’s web site contains not a single reference to the event. Rather, it features a call to "empower American Muslims,” and a demand that Tennessee abandon plans for an anti-terrorism training module that includes information on Islamic extremism. What’s more, check its "press center,” and you’ll find a statement showing "CAIR Concerned About FBI’s Use of ‘Outreach’ To Spy on Muslims’ — precisely the strategy that yesterday kept the US safe from yet another terrorist attack that could have killed an unknowable number of innocent men, women, and children. But about "concern” regarding the Muslim planning that attack? Not one word.
(Is it worth noting, too, that the New York Times, which – at CAIR’s urging – criticized the incorporation of the film "Third Jihad” in counter-terrorism training for the NYPD, did not even issue a "breaking news” report on the arrest, nor include the story in its e-mailed digest this morning?)
