A prominent national Muslim civil rights and advocacy group tonight condemned an attack on Fort Hood military base in Texas that left at least 12 people dead.
In a statement, the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said:
"We condemn this cowardly attack in the strongest terms possible and ask that the perpetrators be punished to the full extent of the law. No political or religious ideology could ever justify or excuse such wanton and indiscriminate violence. The attack was particularly heinous in that it targeted the all-volunteer army that protects our nation. American Muslims stand with our fellow citizens in offering both prayers for the victims and sincere condolences to the families of those killed or injured."
Along with innumerable condemnations of terror, CAIR has in the past launched an online anti-terror petition drive called "Not in the Name of Islam," initiated a television public service announcement (PSA) campaign against religious extremism and coordinated a "fatwa," or Islamic religious ruling, against terrorism and extremism.

That was fast!
horse hockey.
Damage control.
ME to CAIR....
@#!%$^#@%&*^%#@! YOU ALL
Boy, are they ever looking over their shoulders.
He's dead, Jim. But maybe CAIR knows if there are other "perpetrators".
CAIR can you say MICHAEL SAVAGE?
He admits being muslim on his facebook page.
here comes the cover up!! Poor performance record yadda yadda
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Spin City
Didn’t I hear someone once say, “Never let a crisis
go to waste.” CAIR is using this to promulgate it’s
image.
Shut down CAIR now. Expel all muslims from the military now.
I am really busy and don’t have time to read their press release.
What was their problem with the attack? Not enough people killed to satisfy them? Is it because no kids were killed?
What was the reason for condemning the attack?
What was the bottom line?
The dead perp I mean.
Was this statement issued from their mouths or their rectums????
yeah that right there completes the Islamic link for me .. why make such a statement when noone, officially, has even suggested a link to Islam. Definately a fast canned response
They’re probably just trying to create the impression “we condemn violence just like everyone else”
CAIR is going into CYA mode, but you can rest assured that they’ll shed no tears over the Soldiers murdered at Fort Hood.
Yeah, sure you do.
taqiya
Oops, wrong thread. I thought POTUS had issued a statement. /sarc
The guilty flee when no one pursues.
He will not be allowed to Muslim much longer. He could be Amish by the time the evening news spin. We cannot have a domestic terrorist incident especially from the religion of peace.
“Shut down CAIR now. Expel all muslims from the military now.”
AGREED! F**k all this multicultural bullcrap IMMEDIATELY!!!
Round those smelly, American hating, curry eating MF’ers up and put them on a boat NOW!!! Our nation is beyond at risk.
Oh, well, it’s all right then. Move along...
PR is what CAIR does, period.
They must know that they are Amish perps, eh?
Or are they condemning it for the lesser than expected numbers?
Of course CAIR and the WH have been working together on the spin.
Have they released it was a muslim? I haven’t heard anything concrete accept that someone said the shooter had an ‘arabic’ name.
All I saw in the release was BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH BLAH, BLAH!
If you are referring to a guy in Lubbock TX, that’s not the same guy.
Should I be grateful for any statement or criticism of muslim normal behavior? I suppose.
All that tells me is that they finally agree that the silence after every muslim atrocity worldwide has been suspicious --- for years.
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD. Ok sounds like a plan
Who do these liars think they’re kidding?
> Well CAIR,how do you know it was muslims?
They helped to fund and plan the attack.
“Was this statement issued from their mouths or their rectums????”
Couldn’t be their rectums...puckered up tight right now.
Squeaks when they walk.
Checked the FBI websites,no mention of muslims.
Expel all muslims from the military now? I’m sorry, what planet are you from? Forgive my ignorance, but are you now, or have you ever worn the uniform, carried a weapon or stood a watch? If so, thank you for your service, but your comment shocks me. If not...feel free to enlist, we’re an ALL VOLUNTARY military. In the mean time, I’ll put on the uniform I’ve worn for over 23 years to protect your right to spew ignorance.
And if you study the history of radical, militant Islam, you’ll see that they were greatly influence by the violence that the Marxists used to destroy the Czar in Russia and the violence that the Bolsheviks used to suppress the people they controlled.
The LCD?
They are both totalitarian and that continues to be the goal of both global communists and Islamofascists.
Curious - why didn’t the Morman Church feel it necessary to make immediate statements about Ted Bundy’s acts, or the Catholic Church immediately comment on John Wayne Gacy’s killings?
Does CAIR seem to think there is some connection between terrorist acts and Muslims that needs to be explained??
Just curious!
I feel SO much better now!
How’d they know the guy was a Muzzie? Katie Couric wouldn’t even SAY HIS NAME on the news tonight!!
Bingo!
Taqiya allows Muslims to commit any Dishonest Immoral or Violent act, If it is being used to further the ends of Islam.
Before we knew ANY names, the media told us it was NOT a “terrorist attack”. Besides, the dufus doesn't believe we have a “war on terrorism”.
“If not...feel free to enlist, we’re an ALL VOLUNTARY military.
Dude. I’m retired Army. It would be incredibly EASY to infiltrate our military since Clinton burned it to the ground! Where have you been?

Did they ASSUME ??
