AP Shills for Muslim Brotherhood Group in Alaska

Here's the AP's take on the brouhaha in Alaska.

The AP calls the Muslim Brotherhood-tied group CAIR, check it out, an "advocacy" group. In 2009 the FBI  "suspended all formal contacts between CAIR and the FBI." Some advocacy group. Further, the FBI wrote that "...until we can resolve whether there continues to be a connection between CAIR or its executives and HAMAS, the FBI does not view CAIR as an appropriate liaison partner."

Saying CAIR is an advocacy group is like saying that Jeffrey Dahmer was a gourmand.

Journalism, now the second oldest profession. Is it any wonder the Islamic supremacists in America are so brazen? They have their useful idiots like Stein in their toolbox.

BTW, you can watch the hearings today on the anti-sharia legislation, HB88 Alaska today at 1 PM AST (that's 2 PM West coast and 5 PM East coast). Tune in to the live feed at: http://www.alaskalegislature.tv/

 Advocacy group blasts speaker on foreign law bill CHRIS STEIN, Associated Press

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — The Council on American-Islamic Relations is calling for a speaker invited to testify to Alaska House Judiciary Committee to be pulled from Wednesday's lineup.

Council spokesman Ibrahim Hooper says Pamela Geller, head of advocacy group Stop Islamization of America, should not be allowed to testify on House Bill 88 because of what he calls her anti-Muslim rhetoric.

Geller didn't immediately respond to an email from The Associated Press seeking comment.

The bill from Rep. Carl Gatto, a Republican from Palmer, would prohibit the use of any foreign law in state courts if it infringes on a person's constitutional rights.

Gatto also wasn't immediately available for comment. He previously has said that the measure is designed to guard against Islamic Sharia law.

I guess Chris of the AP didn't want to print my response:

Dear Pamela,

I'm a reporter for the Associated Press covering the Alaska capitol. I
understand Rep. Carl Gatto invited you to testify on his bill to
prohibit the use of foreign law in Alaska courts (HB 88). I have a few
brief questions I would like to ask you regarding this bill:

1. Do you support or oppose this bill? Why?

2. This bill has been called anti-Muslim. Do you agree with that
assessment?

3. Did you ask to testify to the bill, or did Rep. Gatto ask you to
testify?

I am currently on deadline and would like to get your comment as soon as
possible. I am reachable at this email address or at either of the
numbers below.

Thanks,

Chris,

I received your questions--

1. Do you support or oppose this bill? Why?

I support this bill because I believe that only U.S. Constitutional law should be used in U.S. courts. I cannot understand opposition to a  law that seeks to prevent foreign laws from undermining fundamental constitutional liberties.

2. This bill has been called anti-Muslim. Do you agree with that
assessment?

No. To say it is anti-Muslim is to say that Muslims cannot accept the freedoms of a secular, democratic, pluralistic society. It is against a law that oppresses women and religious minorities, and denies the freedom of speech and the freedom of conscience. If you're saying that it is anti-Muslim to oppose such a law, you're saying that Muslims cannot accept Western free societies. I do not accept that.

3. Did you ask to testify to the bill, or did Rep. Gatto ask you to
testify?

His office asked me.

Yours in liberty,

UPDATE: Frank in the comment section in a previous post:

[3/30/11 11:31:12 AM] Pamela Geller: I really don't understand how anyone can take CAIR seriously. CAIR's  objecting to Pamela's appearance on hearings re Sharia is like Al Capone's organized crime syndicate objecting to Elliot Ness testifying in Fed hearings re Capone's nationwide rackets during the 1930s.

It's bizarre, as bizarre as when organized crime boss Joe Colombo formed a so-called civil rights group in the 1970s (The Italian American Civil rights League) and had hundreds of pickets in front of FBI offices, all over the US, protesting the FBI's investigation of the Mafia. Colombo said the investigation was "racist."

It's a strange world we live in-as strange as Fibrahim Hooper and CAIR.

Dear Pamela,
 
Thank you for responding to my email. Unfortunately, I was only able to access my work email this morning and was not able to include your comments in yesterday’s story. However, I’ll be covering the House Judiciary meeting today and  will be hearing your testimony then. I’ll be in touch if I have any further questions after that.
 
Thanks,
 
Chris Stein

I do not expect Mr. Stein to report on my testimony favorably. Should be interesting.
