A Reverse "Show Trial"
Reader comment on item: Witness List Set for King Hearing

I place no positive importance on King's hearings. King wimped out and "delisted" the most important "witnesses" against Muslim activism and "radicalization": Emerson himself, Robert Spencer, Daniel Pipes, Wafa Sultan, Hirsi Ali, Amil Imani, et al. The list of witnesses is weighted towards the acquittal and exoneration of Islam as a political/theological ideology. The hearings are actually a propaganda coup for CAIR, the ISNA, MSA and other Islamic organizations; the Times Square "I am a Muslim, too" rally to the contrary notwithstanding. And calling the likes of Keith Ellison as a "witness" is tantamount to calling Yasir Arafat as a witness on the "radicalization" of Gaza. Can you hear him now? "It's only those 'extremists' in the PLO who are committing these horrible acts, not me. To say otherwise is evidence of Islamaphobia and bigotry."
