So, Michael Graham was fired for calling Islam a terrorist organization. I have to be honest, I had never heard of Graham before this story broke, but he has an interesting (though overstated) point. The Council for American-Islamic Relations, itself accused of being a terrorist organization, was lightning quick to condemn Graham for his... »

More CNN Hypocrisy
