CAIR's Hometown Paper By Steve Emerson

Once again, New York Times reporter Neil MacFarquhar is auditioning to be the chief public-relations mouthpiece for radical Islamic front groups in the United States.
In an article published Thursday, titled “Speakers at Academy Said to Make False Claims,” MacFarquhar writes:

The Air Force Academy was criticized by Muslim and religious freedom organizations for playing host on Wednesday to three speakers who critics say are evangelical Christians falsely claiming to be former Muslim terrorists.
The three men were invited as part of a week-long conference on terrorism organized by cadets at the academy’s Colorado Springs campus under the auspices of the political science department.

And just who are the “Muslim and religious freedom” groups that MacFarquhar cites? One outfit called the Military Religious Freedom Foundation and none other than the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). In fact, MacFarquhar twice in his article refers to “Muslim” and “Arab” organizations — in the plural — as objecting to the conference, but the only Muslim or Arab group he cites is CAIR, once again giving CAIR its desired, and undeserved, platform as the sole spokesman for Arab and Muslim communities.
