For anyone who doubts the power of the Israeli lobby
CAIR - the Council on American-Islamic Relations - is as moderate and mainstream an organization as you can imagine. Their homepage features such things as "National and Worldwide Muslim Condemnation of Terrorism," "CAIR backs Fatwa against Terror," a public service announcement and a petition entitled "Not in the Name of Islam," and similar things. A testimonial page features dozens of tributes to their work from a variety of Senators, Congresspeople, and other politicians, not to mention several key FBI people.
But one of the very people who pays tribute to them (she now claims she never saw the letter she "wrote"), California's liberal Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer, has rescinded an award given to an Islamic activist not for anything he did, but because he's associated with that radical terrorist-loving outfit, CAIR!
If you live in California (or hell, even if you don't), feel free to let Senator Boxer know what you think about her behavior.
