The report

Ed Lasky has written an article about a report released by the Center for American Progress.
Clearly, this is a well-funded effort to chill legitimate criticism of Islamic extremism in America. There are also political motivations behind this report since it also tries to refute allegations of ties between Muslims and Barack Obama. But what is most shameful about this "report" is that it employs classic anti-Semitic tropes, blaming conspiratorial Jews for stoking fear and hatred of Muslims.

The report seems to be quite one-sided. For instance, it mentions the video taken at a rally held at Yorba Linda, California, in February this year when crowds shouted at Muslim families on the way to attend a fundraiser event. The report fails to mention that the keynote speakers at the event were Abdel Malik Ali, a supporter of Hamas, and Siraj Wahaj, an unindicted co conspirator in the first World Trade Center bombing.
