Excerpt:
Cornered by a straightforward question he did not want to answer, the head of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Los Angeles office chose instead to misrepresent his organization's actions and feign outrage that the question itself was bigoted.
"Will CAIR-Los Angeles or CAIR-National – will you condemn Hamas?" Hussam Ayloush was asked outside his chapter's annual fundraising banquet Saturday evening.
Initially, Ayloush tried CAIR's standard response, saying he condemns "any group ... who engages in the harming of civilians, innocent people." That sounds like an answer to the question, but avoids specifically addressing whether Hamas is included.
