Excerpt:
In a statement to the Exponent, Joe Sestak said of his speech to CAIR in 2007:
"I don't just speak to groups that I support, I speak to groups that I don't support and I think that is the job of a congressman in order to have a dialogue," he said. "And I went to CAIR and I criticized their failure to condemn terrorists by name, Hezbollah and Hamas, and the fact that they had not dissociated themselves" from them.
Well, let's take a look at the speech. It's roughly five pages long and over 2,500 words, filled with glowing tributes to Muslims. It's like Obama's Cairo speech and his Iran video, and then some. The speech is full of this sort of thing:
Prominently recognized in the U.S. Supreme Court are 18 great lawgivers of history, including the Prophet Muhammad with Moses, Solomon and Confucius. The beauty of Baroque music comes from Islamic influence; as did the 'Moorish' style of some of New York's nineteenth-century synagogues.
