The Council on American-Islamic Relations and Libel

PowerLine has a very interesting post on the libel suit brought by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) against Andrew Whitehead. It appears that CAIR decided to cut their losses.

PowerLine lists some of Whitehead's statements which apparently remain un-withdrawn, including:

*“Let there be no doubt that CAIR is a terrorist supporting front organization that is partially funded by terrorists, and that CAIR wishes nothing more than the implementation of Sharia law in America.”

*“CAIR is a fundamentalist organization dedicated to the overthrow of the United States Constitution and the installation of an Islamic theocracy in America.”

Well worth a read as CAIR gets a lot of favorable press as a moderate group.
