CAIR-Chicago Asks Library Group to Drop Islamophobe From Panel
Press Release – "The Chicago office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Chicago) today called on the American Library Association (ALA) to drop an "Islamophobe" from a panel discussion on dispelling stereotypes about Islam. Robert Spencer, publisher of the anti-Islam Internet hate site "Jihad Watch," is scheduled to speak July 12 on a panel, titled "Perspectives on Islam: Beyond the Stereotyping," at the ALA annual conference in Chicago. One other panelist already withdrew in protest over Spencer’s participation."
Another demonstration of how out of touch ALA is with reality. They’re censoring an author whose books reprint the words in the Quran, the words of Islamic fatwas and other speech by notable Islamic leaders around the world that has been recorded.
