This just in, and it's good news:
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) announced today that Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) has canceled a scheduled appearance at an “anti-Islam” conference in Washington, D.C., hosted by a right-wing think tank headed by Daniel Pipes, who is regarded by many Muslims as one of the nation’s leading Islamophobes.
We noted the speaking engagement last week. I can't find a confirmation of this report. CAIR says Specter cited "scheduling" conflict. Huh. (Thanks to Ali Gharib for headsup.)
