... CAIR and CRG-IRDP assert that heightened approval for Islam is the only solution to a problem they have defined over-broadly.
That very dissonance from American principles has made CAIR, and its constituency of American Muslims indoctrinated in fear, perfect prey for the ideological operators who have guided identity politics on the West Coast for two generations. In a phrase that CAIR might have thought would delight a Berkeley audience, the organization has designated its "vision" as "utopian." On the West Coast, academic Islamist argument gives way to demagogic Islamist propaganda, which will, if history is our guide, soon be employed to justify other, more "positive" actions, including special compensation, employment quotas, and similar "reparations" for American Muslims. Berkeley's definition of Islamophobia as a phenomenon requiring a radical response could prevail. In this manner, CAIR's deal with the Berkeley left could pay off handsomely if unopposed.

Remember that whenever you see the word “Islamophobia”, what it actually represents is “Islamoskepticism”. That is, they object to people questioning them when they make crudely duplicitous statements.
It is not a “phobia”, when people disbelieve a Muslim carrying a sign that says “Butcher those who mock Islam”, yet say “Islam is the religion of peace!”
It *is* “skeptical” to distrust a Muslim who when asked to condemn a profound act of terrorist violence against the innocent, instead will only condemn “terrorism in general”.
It is not a “phobia” to disbelieve people who lie with ease, deny the obvious, threaten to kill those who offend them, and openly reject the principles that they now enjoy in free nations.

Wow—you are using LOGIC and reason—That is not allowed in Marxist Berkeley. Their brains are mush from years of cognitive dissonance and drugs.
