They don’t even see the irony

While CAIR defends the muslim thugs that shouted down the Israeli ambassador Michael Oren at UC Irvine, they turn back flips to take the opposite view against defenders of our American way of life.

CPAC Session on Jihad, Free Speech Attracts Complaints

A panel discussion on the threat posed by “Islamic supremacism,” Shariah and political correctness has been scheduled for this week’s Conservative Political Action Conference, stirring complaints from some American Muslims that the exercise amounts to Muslim-bashing.

Well, yeah. If you tell the truth about islam, it certainly bashes the ummah’s hope of Dar al-Islam in our country. Like how when you explain to people that “islam” doesn’t really mean peace- it means peace through submission to allah.

Say what? Well that’s totally different.

Scheduled to speak are Steve Coughlin, a former Pentagon specialist on Islamic law who was fired two years ago, allegedly under pressure from pro-Muslim officials, and Wafa Sultan, an author and prominent critic of Islam. The discussion is billed as a window into Islam’s “war on free speech,” the “encroachment” of Shariah — or Islamic law — in the West and efforts by the Muslim Brotherhood to infiltrate American society.

Sounds good to me! Of course our old friend, the hoopstah, has a different take on the matter:

“It’s unfortunate that a conservative conference would be in any way associated with Muslim bashers and Islamophobes,” said Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations. “It’s a free country. They’re free to be anti-Muslim bigots if they like, but it’s really up to the organizers of CPAC to determine if they’re going to allow their conference to be associated with the hate-filled views of those who will be speaking.”

Got that? Having a discussion on how islam tries to silence it’s opponents draws ire from islamists who then try to silence their opponents. Surprise.

The session appears to be attracting attention on both sides of the issue. While CAIR and a few blogs have blasted CPAC for putting on the event, co-host Pamela Geller said she’s already gotten hundreds of RSVPs.

Geller, publisher of the AtlasShrugs.com blog, is putting on the talk with Jihad Watch director Robert Spencer. Both are fierce critics of Islam.

Thank you Robert & Pamela!
