Thanks to Scott Johnson at PowerLine for pointing to our "Immigration Imams" petition in his post: Down here on the ground.

Johnson posts the Age of Hooper video describing the Airport Imams case.

One point I haven't seen made concerns the presence of the Muslim American Society's Mahdi Bray who figures as a prominent persona in both the Airport and Immigration Imams cases. Bray prides himself as a Civil Rights leader and activists with years of experience in that realm. One of the well-known techniques in such social activism is the use of engineered, or semi-engineered, incidents...from John Scopes to Rosa Parks (who was employed by the NAACP and not unaware of the implications of her actions). Whatever one thinks of the issue (and I agree with the uses and outcomes of both those cases), the use of "wedge incidents" has a long pedigree.
