Hat tip Act for America and the Investigative Project on Terrorism
Look who is demanding that the Obama administration take punitive action against the military rulers who ousted Mohammed Morsi in Egypt. Yes, it is our old friends in the Council for American Islamic Relations, the Islamic Society of North America, and the Islamic Circle of North America-all Muslim Brotherhood fronts in America.

As IPT writer John Rossomando points out, these organizations were nowhere to be seen or heard as the Coptic Christians were (and are still) being persecuted and their places of worship bombed or burned to the ground. Under the Morsi regime, the level of persecution reached its highest level. As we speak, Copts are being attacked and blamed for the fall of Morsi.
Was was CAIR? Where was ISNA? Where was ICNA? Where was national CAIR CEO Nihad Awad? Where was Southern California director Hussam Ayloush?. Nowhere to be seen or heard.
Since there have been Muslims in the USA since the late 19th century, and since CAIR, ISNA, ICNA are all of rather recent vintage (they even post-date the glory days of the Nation of Islam), I wonder to what extent they really represent anyone but their own founders and an immediate circle of friends? If they don't in any real sense represent Muslims in America, perhaps we should all (including the government and the inter-faith groups) just ignore them. If I want to know what Muslims are thinking, I can ask my friends who belong to the local Islamic Center (ethnically Arab for the most part) or the Clara Muhammad school (NOI -- not Farrakhan, Wallace D. Muhammad).
