The Rebirth of McCarthyism, Islamophobe Style

House Congressional Republicans are getting ready to have hearings on whether 'Muslim spies' infiltrated the US government because an organization called CAIR placed interns in key positions in the judiciary and congress. This is hilarious, because CAIR is basically an American Muslim civil rights and outreach group. They are the most peaceful, pro-American advocacy group I've ever seen, and people I know very well work for them. They are not 'spying' on America or trying to Islamicize it, they're trying to make sure Muslim civil rights are protected. But this is the age of Islamophobia we live in.
