CAIR backs off support for terror suspects

Beware that this is just a case of CAIR throwing two fellow Jihadi to the wolves. I'm sure these guys are already known as martyrs for the cause just for trying to blow up something. CAIR has several reasons for now sacrificing these guys. First, is it's a losing case and CAIR doesn’t want to be seen as symphetec to such obvious Islamist bombers. Second, it's good propaganda to be seen as against Islamic bombing. Third, we can now expect the usual offers by CAIR to help the government understand the "real" Islam and continue to infiltrate our defenses. And the sad thing is, there are countless civil servants just begging for the chance to embrace “moderate Muslims”. and move up the PC ladder.

TAMPA, Fla. – The Council on American-Islamic Relations has backed off on its defense of two Muslim college students caught driving near a sensitive U.S. Navy base with explosives and a how-to video on bomb making.
Last August, when police in South Carolina arrested University of South Florida students Ahmed Mohamed and Youssef Megahed for possession of four pipe bombs and a homemade video on how to make detonators for improvised explosive devices, CAIR sprang to the students' defense.
Now, the Washington, D.C.-based Muslim civil rights group is not so sure the boys are innocent.
Ahmed Bedier, executive director of CAIR's Tampa, Fla., office, told WND it's possible the two Egyptian engineering students were up to no good and they possibly were not just carrying fireworks to the beach, as they claimed.
"I've never said that these people were innocent, or that we were providing any kind of support for them," Bedier told WND. "If they did anything wrong they should be punished."
But when FBI agents searched Megahed's home in August, Bedier claimed the case was nothing more than an example of racial profiling.
"Definitely, this is not related to terrorism," Bedier told the Associated Press. "Had these been two good ol' boys from South Carolina driving through and speeding – and even if they did have some fireworks – nobody would have been arrested."
