When
Islamists and other anti-Israel groups gather, they've learned to use
euphemisms to take the edges off some of their more extreme views. They

One
of our staffers made a mistake on social media Monday involving the
Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). When CAIR pointed it out,
he acknowledged the error and deleted the inaccurate post.
But
that wasn't good enough. CAIR likened his position working for IPT
Executive Director Steven Emerson to being "'Chief Googler' for
David Duke."
The
episode is telling, and not in any manner CAIR thinks it is. For
starters, it shows how CAIR is quick to point out other people's mistakes
but never acknowledges its own failings. And it shows that CAIR officials
lack any sense of
irony or self-awareness.
