CAIR Says Revolution Muslim A 'Setup' To Smear Muslims

I couldn't help but notice that the Council on American-Islamic Relations had been strangely silent on the South Park-Revolution Muslim dustup (link, link). Of course, CAIR was pretty busy this week emailing alerts about right-wing extremism and Franklin Graham (who hasn't threatened to kill anyone recently), so perhaps they missed the saturation coverage of RevMuslim's threats on most of the major news networks.

Well, they caught up today, and the response is an instant classic:

Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, characterized Revolution Muslim as a loosely-organized group with such outrageous beliefs he believes it may be a "setup" to smear Islam.

"They say wild and irresponsible things periodically," Hooper told FoxNews.com. "There's a strong suspicion that they're merely a setup to make Muslims and Islam look bad. They say such wild and crazy things that you have to wonder."
