Why is Debbie AlMontaser being defamed?

The New York Times sets the record straight regarding Debbie AlMontaser, the principal of the Kahlil Gibran International Academy, who has been the victim of a particularly malevolent media smear campaign.

CAIR and various Muslim blogs are requesting 'people of conscience' to help spread the facts.

May we all see the truth for what it is, and follow it; and recognise falsehood for what it is, and avoid it.
