Sometimes actions speak....

   ....[1]louder than words.

     The Philadelphia Inquirer describes a very revealing moment at the
     CAIR annual banquet, when Rep. Joe Sestak brought up the touchy
     subject of condemning terrorists who murder innocent civilians in
     the name of Allah: Sensitive political test for Sestak. (Hat tip:
     LSD.)

     Near the end of the speech, amid clanking silverware and the burble
     of table conversations, the former Navy admiral said it was not
     sufficient for any group just to condemn terrorist acts.
     He said it was CAIRâs duty to condemn individuals or groups that
     commit terrorism, and he specifically mentioned Hamas and
     Hezbollah. âItâs the same as those who did not speak out against
     the perpetrators of Jim Crow laws . . . or the Holocaust,â he said.
     The remark drew no reaction from the audience.

   I applaud Sestak for demanding that CAIR specifically condemn Hamas
   and Hizbullah. I wish more of our leaders would take such a stand.
   It's not enough to condemn terrorism in general terms. We need more
   leaders who will directly confront groups like CAIR that equivocate
   and excuse and refuse to demand that Islamists behave like human
   beings instead of animals. Sestak at least had the guts to name names
   while in the lions' den.
