CAIR Watch Chicago

This is disturbing. A University of Chicago professor is being threatened. Stephen Schwartz:

Another participant in the “North Virginia jihad,” Ali al-Timimi, was sentenced to life imprisonment for his involvement with the conspiracy. Professor Sells, as an expert on Islam, has analyzed the public statements of al-Timimi, and published an extremely serious, scrupulous, and scholarly study titled “War as Worship, Worship as War,” tracing the jihadism of al-Timimi right back to Saudi Arabia, where the American-born al-Timimi lived and studied, and Wahhabism [the Sells paper may be read here].

CAIR alleges that its mission is to defend the civil liberties of American Muslims, but many believe their real agenda is to protect the Wahhabis and to legitimate their radicalism. It was therefore no surprise when CAIR suddenly issued an informal fatwa against Sells. The author was Ahmed Rehab, CAIR’s Chicago executive director and the same slippery individual nailed as an apologist for extremists in an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation only weeks ago. (We covered that informative encounter in my column “CAIR And That 80 Percent,” on FSM, dated December 20, 2006).

Here is that link. Also more background on the head of CAIR Chicago , Ahmed Rehab (scroll down.)
