[edit] Semites

"As Palestinians are are speakers of Arabic, they are by definition Semites. Therefore, a pro-Palestinian organization is inherently incapable of being anti-Semitic."

I removed the above because it is amateurish - not that its incorrect, rather, find some real things to to with this article rather than just blow over and talk dumb... -PackardGoose

[edit] Front

The sentence "It is widely considered by the U.S. Government to be a front for Hamas in the United States" is badly qualified. Which of these is more correct:

  • The U.S. government considers the IAP a front for Hamas in the United States
  • The IAP is widely considered a front for Hamas in foreign countries, such as the United States
  • The IAP is widely considered a front for Hamas by governments, such as that of the United States

I was gonna change it to the first one unilaterally, but I thought others who are more knowledgeable may prefer one of the other two. Tuf-Kat

This article is extremely biased toward Republican, conservative, thinking. The only source for this article is from a right-wing quarterly. Some of the editors are Fox News "analysts".

[edit] Inactive

The IAP website is inactive and according to one source 1 has been for a couple of years. Is the organization defunct then? Jabbi 02:25, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Defunct, according to Comm Director at Chicago CAIR. (SEWilco 18:45, 18 October 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Sources

That's interesting. Most of the paragraphs were recently marked as being from an article in MEQ, although much of the article is from before the MEQ article. Did someone confuse a story with many facts with being the only possible source? See an article version comparison. (SEWilco 06:50, 1 March 2007 (UTC))
