ANOTHER WASHINGTON POST WHITEWASH. Back in June, The Washington Post gave a member of the terrorist group Hamas the opportunity to do an op ed. Now, The Post enters a controversial issue and muddies the waters. In the issue of the Brooklyn Madrassa and the former principal, Dabah "Debbie" Almontaser, the article's sub-headline reads: Arabic Educator's Brief Defense of 'Intifada' T-Shirts Makes Her a Target--prefacing an article that boils the entire issue down to an apparent mis-statement, exaggerated by blogs and conservatives.

Unlike The Washington Post, Investor's Business Daily looks into who the advisers of the school are:

One is a local imam by the name of Talib Abdul-Rashid. He preaches at the Mosque of Islamic Brotherhood in Harlem. A simple visit to the mosque's Web site reveals its mission:

"Allah is our goal. The prophet Muhammad is our leader. The Quran is our constitution. Jihad is our way. And death in the way of Allah is our promised end."

This mirrors the motto of the dangerous Muslim Brotherhood, a worldwide jihadist movement that gave rise to Hamas and al-Qaida.

The Washington Post can take whatever side it likes in the issue, but it would be appropriate for it to present more than a fluff piece with which to do it.
