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

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".

Agreed. the author in the source is quite extreme and doesn't cite his own sources for his claims. Should we say "alleged" Islamist group? The founders are still operating in respectable jobs today. BrotherSulayman (talk) 05:49, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

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))[reply]

Put on necessary tags for dead links and unsourced info. Cleaned up some obvious POVs and updated some factoids. Still needs more mainstream sources and fewer from advocacy groups with questionable WP:RS. CarolMooreDC (talk) 01:25, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Biased AF

This article remains incredibly biased, working entirely off the works of either Matthew Levitt, a pro-israeli founder of The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, and a source from Georgetown which is actually debunking the conspiracy theory that every other islamic association in the country is a secret front for the Muslim Brotherhood.
