#1 The Koranic passage CAIR quotes about "stand up firmly for justice" is not about issuing press releases or signing petitions. "Standing up for justice should mean taking real action." Stephen Schwartz, a Sufi, tells me. "In today's situation, that translates into identifying and helping arrest Muslim evildoers by driving them from the community; outlining a straight path of moderation; and making clear one's loyalty to America."

Nebulous condemnation statement with no attached action - guess we know which convention Cair will be attending. Maybe some of their 650K signatores are helping draft the platform.

How about "most assuredly"?

#3 Barb and Super h

I doubt any CAIR types had much to do with the Dem platform on the mideast. It was written mostly by Representative Robert Wexler (who lives in my neighborhood). The platform on the mideast is very pro Israel and will be very similar to the Republican platform.

On the other hand, the Nadar platform on the mideast will be very anti Israel and CAIR wouldn't even need to lobby to get it that way.

#4 mhw, would Kerry follow Bush's lead on Israel or would he tend more towards the Carter Clinton position with repect to Middleast Peace - I beleive their position is unofficially termed 'doggie style' in some quarters.
