Can a hate peddler be the victim of a hate crime?  

The people at the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) seem to think so. It is not clear whether they agree that Salah Soltan, a former leader in the Columbus, Ohio Muslim community who is hailed by some Islamists as an influential scholar, is a hate monger. He has issued fatwas sanctioning the murder of Zionists, and who has said the 9/11 attacks were "planned within the U.S., in order to enable the U.S. to control and terrorize the entire world."

Introduction: Muslim Hate Groups On Campus by Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, is a new Freedom Center pamphlet that exposes the radical origins and violent objectives of the main Muslim student organizations on our nation’s campuses. These organizations, principally the Muslim Students Association and Students for Justice in Palestine, are sponsors of the hate-fests known as “Israeli Apartheid Weeks” or “Palestine Awareness Weeks.” As Greenfield shows, they are linked to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. Several campus presidents of the Muslim Students Association have gone on to take up leadership positions in Al Qaeda.

The Obama administration is considering releasing five top Taliban jihadists from custody at Guantanamo Bay in hopes of negotiating a peace agreement with the Afghan terrorist movement. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said last week that administration is in "the preliminary stages" of testing whether talks with the Taliban can succeed.

Here it is from Yahoo News:

As news of a terrorist plot by a radical Islamist in Tampa emerged Monday, the propaganda machine that is the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) launched into action, repeating its mantra of accusations against the FBI and offering excuses for the plotter. It's a common pattern for an organization that positions itself between the public, government, and terrorist suspects, trying to control dialogue about Islamist terrorism suspects and cynically manipulating its own relationship with the government.

Earlier this week, the FBI announced the arrest of Sami Osmakac, a 25-year-old Muslim man from the former Yugoslavia. In the process, the agency thwarted what might have been a horrific terror spree targeting populous civilian and commercial areas in Tampa, Florida.

According to the FBI’s criminal complaint, Osmakac, a naturalized American citizen, had been planning a massive terror attack targeting everything from businesses to nightclubs and bridges with the aim of killing and injuring as many people as possible. As part of the attack, he intended to set off a weapon of mass destruction planted in a parked car, then capping off the attack by detonating a suicide belt. Instead, Osmakac’s plans were foiled by a masterful FBI sting operation. Undercover agents tracked the would-be terrorist for months, monitoring his every move and even supplying him with the (secretly non-functional) weapons that he had planned to use before moving in this week to make a decisive arrest.
