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.

The only way to win this war on terrorism is to completely crush the spirit of the Arab people. It will not be enough to simply break their will to fight, because their progeny will rise to fight us another day. The Arab must be made subservient to us. Then, and only then, will we be able to remake their societies into something useful and productive. This is not a police action, it is World War Three.

CAIR you can take your crocodile tears and shove em up your bums.

They can condemn the crime, but not the Muslim who comitted it.
They are allowed, by the Koran, to condemn the act (not the Muslim) if the act may bring about ill will to Muslims.
That's all they have done.

ALLAHU AKBAR! = HEIL HITLER!
MEIN KAMPF = MEIN KORAN
Mad Mo was much more clever than Adolf Hitler.
If Hitler had only claimed that Nazism was a religion, we would have allowed him to build "Nazi Temples" all over America in the 1930s.

"A jihad isn't necessary. "They issue fatwahs against all those that say anything, or do anything against islam. Where's the fatwahs against these terrorists. they know who they are. There's no fatwahs though.
"Simply continued condemnations of terrorist acts."
Where's the condemnation? CAIR has an elaborate site and all that's up there is anti-American trash. No condemnation for this act, or any other mass murder by allah's tyranical children appears. If they meant what they said it would be right there in big letters for all to see. It isn't, because they're playing the sympathy game.

Although the country had balls in the '30s and no political correctness, you might be right. We almost went to war on the side of Germany as it was (remember reading about Charles Lindbergh and the America First movement?) Could've happened, could've happened...

Screw CAIR,,,,"we condemn blah bha blah..."
I want to see outrage.
I want to see indignation.
I want to see them quit justifying groups like Hamas, Hizbollah, and Islamic Jihad.
These people are or support pro Arab/Moslem militants and do not support America. That makes them my enemy.

Yep, they condem it.
Come on guys. At least admit they did something. Better than nothing. Not as good as they could have, and maybe will, if you quit spitting at them.
