CAIR last seen furiously drafting a press release accusing Newt of spreading “Islamophobia.”

Via National Journal:

GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich pledged on Tuesday that if elected, he would overhaul the State Department, strengthen the intelligence community, and increase “our understanding of the threat of radical Islam” to aid Israel.

“We need an administration with the courage to say the words ‘radical Islam,’” Gingrich said in an appearance via satellite at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s conference in Washington.

He cited the shooting by a Muslim soldier in Fort Hood, Texas; the Muslim Brotherhood’s influence in Egypt; Pakistan’s hiding Osama bin Laden; and Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai’s “mute” response toward terrorist networks in his country as examples of radical Islam that he would seek to expel as president.
