Noam Sayin' Open Letter Watch: 3

At littlegreenfootballs on Wednesday, two articles may have caught the eyes of Minnesota Lizards. The first, a story on Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison promoting dialog with CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations). The second, an in depth look at the kinds of associations CAIR has made in the past.

Thursday night, Minnesota LGF commenter Noam Sayin' posted yet another open letter to the Star Tribune at powerline in which he nicely summarizes the two articles, and in so doing, creates a valid argument for a journalistic investigation by the Star Tribune of this organization and it's ties to Congressman Ellison-

The reason I come to suggest that you do reportage on this relationship – other than the fact that you haven’t reported one word about it – is because I just read a couple articles which discuss this incident and others going back nearly a decade. Clearly, the Case of the Flying Imams is not an isolated incident, and neither is CAIR’s involvement in what has also become commonly known as grievance theater. Mr. Ellison has also involved his self in the incident shortly after CAIR.

It isn't an isolated incident, and the people of Minnesota would be well served by our local media to learn the history of CAIR's associations, and to learn of this organization's ability to have the ear of one of our state's Representatives. I don't think the Star Tribune will take Noam Sayin' up on his suggestion, at least not yet, but he should continue to advance his points on them as a chronicle of media bliss through ignorance. It may be easier to count Noam's letters than to count the days the Star Tribune ignores them. Thus, our title was born.
