Excerpt:
There's a "pattern" we should be aware of, CAIR-Chicago's Ahmed Rehab told America during a recent appearance on Fox News. It has been Muslims who have helped "foil" recent terror plots and report extremists, he said.
In many cases, that's true. Rehab and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), however, can't take credit for helping encourage this pattern of behavior.
A new IPT memo shows that though Rehab has been vocal about his commitment to fighting extremism, he has:
- Refused to wholly condemn Hamas.
- Minimized extremist pockets in U.S. society.
- Accused the government of fabricating its own terrorists.
- Alleged that terrorism prosecutions are not based on evidence, but attempts to silence Muslims and activists for Palestine.
