Governor Ted Strickland made an appearance at the 10th anniversary banquet of the Council of American-Islamic Relations. BizzyBlog notes its importance while most of the Ohio media drops the ball.

Governor Strickland addressed the crowd of 350 people, saying: “On behalf of all Ohioans, [my wife and I] appreciate your vision to promote justice and mutual understanding. We gather under CAIR-Ohio’s theme this year, ‘American Muslims: Connecting and Sharing,’ to do just that, to connect and share and get to know each other better.”

Ouch. Sorry. Not on behalf of this Ohioan. CAIR has been named by federal prosecutors as an “unindicted co-conspirator” to support Hamas. When the “vision to promote justice and mutual understanding” involves the execution of opposition party leaders and the suppression of American criticism with threats, I don’t appreciate that vision at all.
