Save Darfur Coalition - Does "Free Darfur" harbor genocide supporters? (Anne Morse, Wilberforce Forum)

Since I rarely follow news of the Save Darfur Coalition I am not sure what the following opinion piece is all about but I am logging it here for future reference:
Does "Free Darfur" harbor genocide supporters?
May 15, 2006
By Anne Morse, senior writer at The Wilberforce Forum

Should human rights activists fighting genocide in Darfur join forces with groups with ties to terrorists--fanatics whose dearest wish is to commit genocide?

Save Darfur has done tremendous work promoting the cause of Darfur's persecuted people to Americans. My 17-year-old son and I were among the 10,000 people who attended the rally in Washington, bought t-shirts, and applauded the celebrity speakers. Clearly, Save Darfur, which includes as members Holocaust survivors, has its heart in the right place.

But its leadership has some explaining to do - specifically, why they invited supporters of genocide to help them prevent it.

CAIR is one of the major advocacy groups for Muslims in the United States (You can access its website here). It's been the subject of unrelenting attack by right-wing writers like Daniel Pipes and Steven Emerson, especially since 9/11, for its alleged ties to terrorists and harboring plots to Islamize America (see herefor an example of Pipes' attacks on CAIR). In regards to Sudan, CAIR criticized the claims of Sudanese anti-slavery groups during the 1990's. However, it now supports intervention in Darfur.
