Arab News: Giuliani Packs Staff with Hawks
WASHINGTON, 14 September 2007 — Rudy Giuliani, the Republican presidential candidate, is working hard to claim his place as the Republican’s leading hawk.
Media Monitors Network: The Islamophobe who cried Islamist
"Pipes is wedded to his personal political agenda to such a point that it dominates his worldview invalidating his ability to act as a neutral scholar on Muslim-related topics. Concerned with the interests of Israel above all else, he consistently defines Muslim-Americans exclusively as a function of their position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."
Media Monitors Network: We are Not Done With Racism - Yet
"One of the most enduring qualities of America is its ability to bring together different cultures and allow them a space to settle into the fabric of this nation. It is the secret of our success as a nation, yet it is increasingly under attack from those who espouse a mono-cultural America. We need to take a shared responsibility and give voice to a consistent message, that hate speech and marginalization of any group must not be tolerated."
Media Monitors Network: The Islamophobic Industrial Complex: What are the Quasi Muslims Really Selling?
Every day newspapers, TV shows, radio programs, new books and lectures revolve around the topic of the ‘threat’ of Islam and its relation to the West. Islam has become a commodity, a business to be exploited. The list of super stars and ‘experts’ that are part of this Hollywood-esque movement of cashing in on Islam has become quite long; at the head of the list are Quasi Muslims such as Brigiette Gabriel, Walid Shoebat, Nonie Darwish, and Ibn Warraq.

Stop the Diatribe
Reading the work of Kathleen Parker one might get the impression through her conspicuous intellect and confident voice that she speaks with academic authority on the issues for which she writes.
Offended by the Offensive
Apparently, Parker believes that people do not have the right to be offended by offensive material. Although I am no advocate of Donohue or the Catholic League, I do firmly believe that all sane and civilized people - be they Muslim, Christian, Jewish, atheist, or otherwise - should be respectful of the beliefs and values cherished by others.
Media Monitors Network: Steven Emerson's Disturbing Track Record
"It is an unfortunate consequence of post 9/11 life in America, where fear-mongering is a reality, that notorious career Islamophobes, such as this individual, are subjected to little scrutiny and virtually no credibility tests - even as mainstream Muslim leaders with established track records are readily second-guessed."

Will America Overcome the Willful Ignorance of Dixiecrat McCarthyism?
It is hard to understand why there is a growing editorial tendency toward willful ignorance and Islamophobic extremism. It is growing at the expense of intellectual honesty and moral reason.
Chicago Tribune: `Prank' gets teen lesson in tolerance
David Huffman told police it was just a prank gone wrong: On April 22, at a McDonald's in Tinley Park, he tapped a Muslim woman on the head, nearly pulling off her headscarf.

Purple Politics Convolute the Issue
Dennis Byrne's assessment of the National Intelligence Estimate in his article, "Terror-report fight misses the big picture" (October 2, 2006), seeks to distort reality in an effort to maintain a failed policy.
Radical Conservative Actively Misguides Readers
Carol Turoff's tirade in the Conservative Voice, "Reflections on Ramadan: The Pope Must Die" (September 28th, 2006), is so severely devoid of intellectual integrity that it does not merit a formal response.However, the piece is worth analyzing as a case study of the machinations typically employed in America's thriving Islamophobic industry.
