USA to Blame?

(Fox News) - The group that purports to be the preeminent civil rights voice for Muslims in America is blaming the Bush administration for what it calls "Islamaphobia" and says the War on Terror is just making things worse.

The Council on American Islamic Relations held a symposium at the National Press Club in Washington Tuesday. The Washington Times reports CAIR National Board Chairman Parvez Ahmed characterized Bush administration policies as driven by fear, and is irrational and divisive.

All this occurred after CAIR had banned some media outlets who allegedly had given it unfavorable coverage. A reporter from the Washington Times was thrown out after the meeting began.
