U.S. Muslims warn against the international Jewish conspiracy: "As major Jewish organizations condemned the Los Angeles-based Jewish Defense League for an alleged anti-Muslim bombing plot, American Muslim groups publicly pressed the federal government to widen an investigation into what they contended is an international Jewish terrorism network." (The Jewish Week)

Pretty much every Jewish leader and organization has denounced the JDL, before and since their arrest. When organizations like the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) can say the same, rather than tacitly or openly supporting Islamic terrorist groups,then we'll talk.

More from the Jewih Week: Mark Potok, a spokesman for the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate groups, said although the JDL has “a long and extremely unpleasant history of violence and political extremism,” the group seemed to be very quiet in the last few years. “My sense is that now it’s a very small organization with a handful of followers,” Potok said.
