CAIR attacks educational book series
The Weekly Standard reports that CAIR's latest dastardly deed is attacking a series of educational books involving Islam. Their targets even include an item written by Barry Rubin, who's also spoken about this case here. TWS says:
The FPRI “World of Islam” series is issued by Mason Crest, a Pennsylvania educational publisher with a wide scope. Indeed, Mason Crest publishes another series called “Introducing Islam” that is favored by CAIR. The works under CAIR attack are not textbooks, but brief supplemental manuals that may be used to enhance student reading. None of the “World of Islam” booklets can fairly be described as biased against Islam. Rather, the volumes seek to balance the uncritical, pro-Islam bias of numerous public school textbooks with a fairer assessment of the problems facing Americans and other Westerners in understanding Islam.Obviously, no matter how the books are formatted, CAIR doesn't want children to have any idea of what Europe is like today, to name but one example. Aside from that, they're also engaging in their usual distortions and attacking legitimate authors. And that's another reason why CAIR should be roundly rejected.
[...]
These texts are neither prejudicial nor ideological; they represent established historical opinion and accurate reporting on present-day challenges affecting Muslims and non-Muslims alike. CAIR is attempting, as often in the past, to reinforce its claim to be a privileged interpreter of Islam in the United States.
