Governor of Florida Jeb Bush was among those who sent greetings to the annual banquet of the Florida Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
Joe Kaufman, chairman of “Americans Against Hate” (satire stands disarmed), declared: “Our organization expresses its deep disappointment that our state’s leaders would send letters of support to a group such as CAIR. We find it especially counterproductive, during our country’s war against terrorism. We ask all those that sent letters of support to retract the statements made in those letters.”
