    In 2006, the New York Times ran a laudatory multi-part series profiling Brooklyn imam Reda Shata --( http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/06/nyregion/06imam.html?pagewanted=all ) which noted that when the murderous Hamas leader Ahmed Yassin was killed, Shata told Muslims at a memorial service that a “lion of Palestine has been martyred.” He also praised suicide bomber Reem Al-Reyashi. The Times dismissed this as Shata’s zeal for what he believed to be a just cause, reassuring its readers that Shata didn’t hate Jews, and even had friends among New York rabbis. (I might believe it if they were from Neturei Karta.) In any case, Shata's reverence for Yassin, who oversaw and glorified the murders of numerous Israeli civilians, showed the ridiculous dhimmi willful blindness of the Times whitewash.

    Be that as it may, Shata is still playing his moderate act, and finding eager takers:

    "NYPD spied on city's Muslim anti-terror partners," from the Associated Press, October 6 (
    Indeed it is, Shata, and it works both ways.

    I don't see what the OP proves. The guy may or may not be an extremist but if he is he has hidden it well and a police investigation didn't find anything. Does't that suggest that the NY Times is more likely to be right than not? Just disapproving of Israel's treatment of Palestineans doesn't make you a Muslim extremist, and regrettably many moderate Muslims still approve of Palestinean terror tactics (badly executed as they often are) against the Israelis.

    With the bar set that low, it's no wonder DCC feels we have to wipe out all 1.7 billion Muslims in order to feel secure.
