Now I know this WorldNetDaily article publicizing the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ (CAIR) previous accusation berating Douglas Farah and his newest book “Why We Left Islam” is basically a blatant promotion by WND for the book. Nonetheless it is amusing that CAIR did issue a retraction for its accusations against Farah and WND.
I am guessing the apology and retraction was out of the fear of a civil suit. Anti-CAIR has shown how to fight CAIR civil suits: ask for discovery of internal affairs (which must be provided). This is how Anti-CAIR forced CAIR to leave them alone. Obviously a legal inspection regarding discovery of the civil complaint could expose the true nature of CAIR’s agenda to the American public. I speculate most Americans would find CAIR’s activities un-American when placed into the public microscope.
Go Farah!
