Islamic Society of North American and MPAC try to stop congressional testimony

I found a very informative post on a blog called "Rightside News" about the efforts of two Islamic organizations to stop the testimony of terror expert, Steve Emerson.  Emerson is one man who early on in his career as a reporter noticed anti-American hate coming from Islamic meetings back in the 90s.  This man's life was changed by what he witnessed at those meetings. 

Naturally, these Islamic organizations who are more aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood than American values call him Islamophobic: 

As mentioned in Andrew Cochran's July 28 posting , the Investigative Project on Terrorism's (IPT) counterterrorism leader Steven Emerson will be testifying on Thursday July 31 at a Congressional hearing on "Foreign Aid and the Fight Against Terrorism and Proliferation: Leveraging Foreign Aid to Achieve U.S. Policy Goals."

...ISNA sent out an  "Urgent Action Alert" to its membership calling for them to lobby Congressman Brad Sherman to either have "balanced, qualified testimony"... [or demand that] "the session be canceled." MPAC sent a similar letter to Congressman Brad Sherman and also issued "demands" calling for its membership to lobby for silencing Steven Emerson or for Congress to "cancel or postpone" the hearing.ISNA charges Steven Emerson with "Islamaphobia" [sic] and "hate mongering," while MPAC charges Steven Emerson with "bigotry." Not surprisingly, ISNA and MPAC don't support their accusations with any facts or specifics, just ad hominem name-calling to silence and discredit those who speak out against Jihad.
