If you read through the five or six posts I put up yesterday on the Williams firing, you will find that I repeated the same message over and over; CAIR (and the Left in the form of NPR) overstepped, and this overstep will have far-reaching implications for both.
I heard Zuhdi Jasser, M.D. is the President and Founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD) on Fox this morning, and he is one of the rational Muslims. He hates CAIR and says he is not alone. We need more like him.

Debbie, Dr. Jasser may not be practicing damage control.
But I think that many other Muslim groups are.

Some Muslims are now worried that the firing of Juan Williams might backfire on them:WASHINGTON — NPR's decision to fire news analyst Juan Williams for controversial remarks he made about Muslims on airplanes was not only roundly criticized by conservatives Thursday, but was viewed with alarm by some Muslim American activists and scholars.
Public radio executives defended the move, saying that Williams' comment on Fox News violated the news organization's ethics guidelines and undermined his credibility. Williams said Monday on "The O'Reilly Factor" that he worries when he sees Muslims in traditional garb on airplanes.
But some prominent Muslim thinkers expressed concern Thursday that his firing would contribute to what appears to be a widening gulf between Muslims and non-Muslims in the United States...Yes, the gulf is getting wider. People are catching onto the fact that there is no freedom of expression in Islam and that Moslems want to impose their strictures, their shari'a, on America.
I say: Let the gulf grow even wider. That's the only way for those who love and want to maintain Western civilization to preserve our way of life.
You can't win a battle if you don't draw battle lines.

You nailed it sister! Amen!
Muslim activists with an agenda, aided by brain-dead liberals in this country have been trying to lull us into complacency for years.
No dice! We're wide awake!

I agree with you absolutely.

Pastorius,
I did read your posts yesterday, but I might not have commented much as mid-week is the busiest time for me with my work schedule.
I'm hoping that, this time, CAIR cannot squirm out from under. CAIR has squirmed out from under so many times!
