That is upsetting, especially the part about intimidation and anti-Semitism. Discussing groups like this and informing people want their intentions are, is important. Thankfully not everyone agrees with them.
When reading, please keep in mind that Daniel Pipes is a neoconservative writer who's views on the middle east are considered controversial. Some consider him to be a hostile anti-muslim. Here in Toronto his arrival sparked a group of 80 university professors and grad students to boycott his speaking engagement because they believe his views to include prejudice and fear-mongering.
From briefly reading that and looking at the CAIR website, it looks like Daniel Pipes is pretty right wing and prejudiced, and that CAIR seeks in theory to promote equality of religions, freedoms etc, but is obvously very pro-Muslim. Pipes mentions that CAIR want islam to be the dominant religion in the USA. I'm sure he wants fundamentalist Christianity to be the dominant religion in the USA. works both ways.
CAIR Should Put America First

"I share something very important with Pipes; we are both US Citizens, both love America, understand the magnitude of the danger America is facing after 9/11 and the truth about the Middle East crisis. He happens to be non-Moslem and I happen to be of an Arab/Moslem background.
According to some US Moslem conventional wisdom I am supposed to belong to the opposite camp and disagree with him. Even if I agree with him, I should be quiet to keep out of trouble from Islamists right here in the US. However, I will not keep quiet because I put America’s interests first."
And now you know why 'tolerant' Muslims won't speak out against terror - they are afraid of thier own.

More from Nonie Darwish:
"CAIR in its website ask about "The Status of Muslims Civil Rights in the US."
They also ask Americans to accommodate the diversity of Moslems. The answer from an Arab American is that the US has given me all the civil rights I need and could only dream of in my Moslem homeland. How about CAIR looking into the civil rights of Muslims in Iraq, Afghanistan and the rest of the Arab/Moslem world where you came from? How do they expect to be taken seriously when they close their eyes to the human rights violations in Moslem countries where the hands and feet of thieves are amputated, innocent people are persecuted and murdered, and freedom of speech is suppressed by dictators! Your website does not show any action on your part against oppression of Moslems on Moslems.
How about the civil rights of the over 3000 victims of 9/11 and their families? Do CAIR and other Moslem groups have any idea how to calm the feelings and comfort American victims? After all, terrorists were doing their deeds in the name of Allah and Mohammed and please don’t tell me these are just a bunch of lunatics who have nothing to do with Islam."
