CAIR spent $160,000 to silence Michael Savage

David Guabtz's new book, Muslim Mafia, claims that CAIR sought to infiltrate Capital Hill by placing spies and another revealation is that CAIR spent $160,000 to try to get Michael Savage off the radio waves. The Conservatives

For Mr. Hooper to now claim that CAIR has never sought to silence or intimidate Mr. Savage is not only mendacious, but laughable. And Mr. Savage is not buying it.

"Really? So you believe Farah's investigation is false? CAIR wants me on the air to expose the Islamists amongst us?" Mr. Savage told The Washington Times. "Where does CAIR stand with regard to Islamists who want to impose Sharia law in the U.S.?"

He is right. CAIR is not some Muslim "civil rights" group. And it certainly does not speak for the millions of moderate Muslim-Americans, who find its pro-Hamas, pro-Hezbollah and anti-war on terror ideology repugnant. Rather, CAIR is an anti-American, anti-Israel outfit that defends Sharia law and the creation of a global caliphate. It cares about the U.S. Constitution the way a hooker cares about her client: everything is a means to an end--except in CAIR's case, the ultimate goal is not Mammon, but the advancement of an Islamic society.

Mr. Hooper and his Islamist fellow travelers may wrap themselves in the banner of the First Amendment. But their aim is to drive all critics of radical Islam from the public square. They are willing to resort to lying about their true, dark objectives, as well as relentlessly smearing their opponents. They have no scruples.
