Thoughts and opinions from the Rocky Mountains
From Fox News:
The FBI is severing its once-close ties with the nation’s largest Muslim advocacy group, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, amid mounting evidence that it has links to a support network for Hamas.
Named as an un-indicted co-conspirator after a 15 year investigation that came to a head at the Holy Land Foundation trial. Yep, that’s a pretty good reason to sever ties.

I’ve never been a fan of television evangelists. Heck, I can’t even think of one I like right off the top of my head. However, someone was nice enough to post the “indictment” of this guy on YouTube:
I don’t consider myself to be much of a theologian, but his stance seems to be a very truthful presentation of the standard Protestant view of Islam.

Just to add to the fun, CAIR has ties to Hamas and is an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial.
