WASHINGTON, May 11 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Council on American- Islamic Relations (CAIR) today condemned the murder of an American civilian in Iraq by a group claiming links to Al-Qaeda.

A video posted on an Internet web site shows the beheading of a Philadelphia man working as a contractor in Iraq whose body was found on a highway overpass in Baghdad on Saturday. The group that carried out the killing said it was in retaliation for the ongoing Iraq prison abuse scandal.

In its statement, the Washington-based Islamic civil rights and advocacy group said:

"We condemn this cold-blooded murder and repudiate all those who commit such acts of mindless violence in the name of religion. We call on people of all faiths and cultures to work together for peace and reconciliation, not war and destruction."

CAIR, America's largest Islamic civil liberties group, has 26 regional offices and chapters nationwide and in Canada.

Okay, CAIR... what help do you plan to offer to help purge the world of Radical Islam (aka Islamofascism)?

"Call on people of all faiths and cultures to work together for peace and reconciliation". - CAIR

"You are either with us or with the terrorists." - President Bush.

If Islamofascists misinterpret the Koran then there is no religious reason for eradicating Islamofascists from the world. Either reform Islam from within (defusing radical Islam) or else we will do it for you.

good for them!

Yeah right, just after the said Allah Aka Bar, after seeing the video.

How very sweet of CAIR to do that.

[BibChr]

Now THIS is BREAKING NEWS.

They can shove it!

What CAIR says: "We condemn this cold-blooded murder and repudiate all those who commit such acts of mindless violence in the name of religion. We call on people of all faiths and cultures to work together for peace and reconciliation, not war and destruction."

What CAIR means: Good job guys!

[gilliam]

Take them at their word, guys. We have been demanding them to condemn such acts. Now that we do, don't spit in their faces.

[Psycho_Bunny]

"Good for them" what?

You know it's a lie, right?

They're just becoming more media savvy.

Islam tolerates lies by Muslims to non-believers.  Nothing a Muslim says can be trusted.

[cavtrooper21]

Yea, right. Condem the horrible act, just like they condemed 9/11.
All the while tossin' "high-fives" and doing that tounge wagging thing with the ocasional "allah-akbha" tossed in.

[The Scourge of Yazid]

Gee, I guess they really do C.A.I.R., (not likely.)

Sorry, this isn't good enough.
It's too blanket, covers everyone in the world who ever
killed in the name of religion.
I'm waiting for them to come out and denounce and repudiate the MUSLIM terrorists doing this in the name of
THEIR religion.

Hey CAIR, IT IS YOUR RELIGION THATS DOING THIS, ARE
YOU GOING TO PUT UP WITH IT??

[Fintan]

Well, isn't that nice of them

 

[The Scourge of Yazid]

Sorry, about that. Itchy trigger finger, I guess.

[spunkets]

There's nothing on their website about it, or any of the other murderous deeds done by allah's filthy crew. All that appears is anti-US rants and rubbish.

[knarf]

A contractor is not a combatant.

Whatever the pig's reason, we should re-open an Iraqi branch of Anchor Hocking.

This is a war ... a world war ... WW3, and the enemy has no common denominator other than its 'religion'.

I've said it many times before here ...there is a scene in Ben Hur when the question, "How do you fight an idea" is responded to with ... " ... another idea"

Dare I say, Onward, Christian soldiers ... or will the religionazi's jump on that?

[weegee]

All I asked was "what next"? When does CAIR plan to make a public effort to reform Islam to purge itself of violent muslims?

It is a sizeable problem. I'd rather have the assistance of muslims to defuse radical Islam. "Staying out of the Middle East" is not the answer.

[just me]

They don't want to except our apology why should we except theirs... I don't believe them either.
