Excerpt:
Just weeks after trying to make nice at a town hall meeting, Muslim leaders and the office of U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick, R-N.C., are again trading charges and countercharges.
At a news conference Wednesday, leaders of the Islamic Center of Charlotte said they and other local Muslims were victims of "a campaign of fear and smear" that has sought to link them with terrorism.
Jibril Hough, a spokesman for the mosque on Progress Lane, blamed the "baseless attacks" on Myrick's office and on WBT (1110-AM), which gave the claims wide airing.
Observer calls and e-mails to Myrick's office were not returned. Neither was a call to WBT.
