It is as if they are taking a page from the Israeli playbook and putting an Islamic spin on it. The poster, which can be seen in the article, smacks of the kind of bigotry they so vehemently protest against. Although, it is bad manners to question anything Islamic, yet it is perfectly OK for Islam to question the FBI or law enforcment efforts to work with the Muslim community to weed out the jihadists in their midst.
Does that make me an Islamophobe?

CAIR Says Poster Warning Against Helping FBI is Misinterpreted
The Council on American-Islamic Relations said it will remove a poster from the group's website promoting an upcoming conference that encourages people not to talk to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The poster, which appeared on the website of CAIR’s California chapter, features a sinister-looking FBI agent with the headlines “Build a Wall of Resistance” and “Don’t Talk to the FBI.” The poster was designed in the late 1970s or early 1980s and has been reproduced by various groups and activists since then in response to alleged harassment by the FBI and to protest grand jury subpoenas.
“I think it’s subject to misinterpretation,” spokesman Ibrahim Hooper told Fox News Radio when speaking about the poster. “We decided out of extreme caution to take it down.”
I see no misinterpretation, Mr. Hooper. It is perfectly clear what the message is: be a Muslim first, American second. Thank you, Mr. Hooper, now we know where you stand.
(.)The conference is scheduled for Feb. 9 at the East Side Cultural Center in Oakland.
Hooper conceded the poster “crosses the line,” but refused to renounce the artwork and blamed critics for fomenting what he called a manufactured controversy.

Once again, twist the message and blame the receiver for getting it all wrong. The manufactured controversy is how CAIR, with regular abandon, deflects their own jihadist tendencies onto those who are trying to stop the spread of Islamism.
Nice work if you can get it.
