NEW YORK, Dec. 7, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The human rights group Stop Islamization of America (SIOA), a program of the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), today called on Lane Community College of Eugene, Oregon to reinstate Professor Barry Sommer and his class on Islam. Lane fired Sommer and dropped his course after pressure from the Hamas-linked Islamic supremacist hate group the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). SIOA further calls on Lane Community College to repudiate CAIR and institute mandatory counter-jihad sensitivity training for all students, faculty and employees.
"An Islamic supremacist hate group like CAIR must not be allowed to intimidate our nation's educational institutions and dictate how young Americans are to be informed about the Islamic jihad threat," said Pamela Geller, executive director of AFDI/SIOA.
Hamas-linked CAIR succeeded in getting Sommer fired and his course dropped after smearing the counter-jihad civil defense group Act for America as an "anti-Muslim hate group." Sommer is the president of Act for America's Oregon chapter.

In reality, CAIR is the hate group, with numerous ties to jihad terror. Lane Community College should accordingly reinstate Sommer and his course and issue a public apology for bowing to CAIR's demands.
