CAIR coming to the defense of Muslim school?

Remember the Minnesota tax-funded Muslim school? Well, it seems that the victicrats at CAIR are screaming hate crimes just as the school is being investigated by the state. I, like Michelle Malkin have to question the timing of this.

The Minnesota chapter of a national Islamic civil liberties group has asked the FBI and local law enforcement officers to investigate reported threats against a Twin Cities charter school as possible hate crimes, while a Jewish organization deplored the threats.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) made the request Monday after the director of Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy in Inver Grove Heights told police that he and the school had received threatening and harassing phone messages and e-mails.

The group is concerned about the safety of the school’s students, many of whom are Muslim, said CAIR chapter coordinator Chris Schumacher. Tagging the threats as possible hate crimes also makes it clear that prejudice could have prompted them, and “we wanted to bring that to light in case that wasn’t already obvious to people,” he said.

Surely if threats have been made, they ought to be investigated. The trouble is that CAIR, and other have, shall we say, a history of crying wolf. Power Line and Daniel Pipes and Michelle Malkin have all documented.
