Southland Muslim leaders gathered Sunday to discuss violence in the Middle East and one prominent leader criticized Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for supporting Israel.
Salam al-Marayati, executive director of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, said the group is concerned about the mayor and governor's attendance at a pro-Israel rally Sunday. He said many Muslims were upset by the nature of the public discourse surrounding the conflict between Israel and the militant group Hezbollah.
"We take issue with the governor and the mayor taking sides on this issue -- the pro-Israeli side -- without consulting residents of California and Los Angeles," al-Marayati said. "The mayor and the governor should not drag us into this foreign conflict."
Villaraigosa and Schwarzenegger are slated to attend a 4:00 p.m. pro-Israel rally at the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles.

Muslims lose another opportunity to condemn and repudiate terrorism and make a distinction between Muslims and terrorism.

Wow, what a surprise. But then the Islamofascists are always PO'd about something and everything aren't they.
What else would you expect with their miserable, oppressive culture and lifestyle.

I just left a message that as a resident of California, I stood 100% behind Israel in this, and how very disappointing to not see a very strong denunciation of terrorism on their part. I said Israel must be allowed to defend themselves against terrorists no matter what form they come in, I just wasn't aware of terrorists that weren't also Muslim in the mid-east.

They are not angry at the terrorists killing innocents, they are only angry at those who try to get rid of said terrorists.
The so-called moderate Muslims are their own worst enemy, by not siding with the civilized world against the terrorists.

I'm an unabashed Israel supporter and in California partianship stops at the waters' edge when it comes to support for an American ally. There's scant sympathy for the Hezbollah Islamofascists in this country. The Muslims here had better stuff it.

Muslims angry If Muslims were ever "happy," "gentle," "placid," "content," "serene," "cute," "adorable," "loving," "helpful," "grateful," "humble," "intelligent," "reasonable," "tolerant," "understanding," "brave," that would be BREAKING NEWS.

So how angry are they? Congregating in large groups and wearing Palestinian tea towels, or burning down KFC?
To: FairOpinion
They need to assemble in one large fenced area so their grievances can be heard.

A "Moderate" Muslim only wants all Israeli soldiers dead.
An extreminst Muslim wants all Israeli soldiers and civilians dead.
