The Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Saudi-funded front group for the Muslim Brotherhood, today announced a massive campaign to distribute "A Journalist's Guide to Understanding of Islam and Muslims". As if the media didn't have enough issues. Via email:
(WASHINGTON, D.C., 11/9/2007) On Tuesday, November 13, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) will hold a noon news conference in the nation’s capital to announce the launch of a major initiative to help enhance understanding of Islam and Muslims in the news media.
Similar news conferences will be held at CAIR offices in Princeton, N.J.; San Diego, Calif.; Cleveland and Cincinnati, Ohio; Tampa, Fla.; and Dallas, Texas...
...The centerpiece of CAIR’s educational campaign will be distribution of the newly-published "American Muslims: A Journalist's Guide to Understanding of Islam and Muslims" to some 40,000 media professionals nationwide.
Other aspects of CAIR’s educational initiative will be outlined at the news conferences...
..."It is essential that all those who write about or comment on domestic and international events have access to accurate, balanced information about Islam and Muslims," said CAIR Chief Operating Officer/Deputy Director Tahra Goraya. "Because Muslims have a duty to provide that information, we will be calling on the Islamic community to support this important initiative."...
And if they won't no worries...the KSA will take care of it for them.

2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
