Or when their neighbor, Jack Hensley, had his head sawed off.

In the interest of fairness, this group did denounce Mr. Hensley's beheading...

From here.

MARIETTA, Ga., Sept. 23 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Metro-Atlanta Muslims and Muslim organizations, including Marietta's Masjid Al- Hedaya (Islamic center of Marietta), the Islamic Speakers Bureau (ISB), the Council on American-Islamic Relations of North Georgia (CAIR-NGA), and other Georgia mosques will hold an interfaith service at 7 p.m. in Marietta Square for Jack Hensley, a construction worker from that city recently murdered in Iraq.

Masjid Al-Hedaya, ISB and CAIR-NGA recently launched a campaign called "Not in the Name of Islam," designed to disassociate Islam from the violent acts of a few Muslims. Advertisements were published in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Marietta Daily Journal on September 11th of this year.

The advertisements stated:

"We, the undersigned Muslims, wish to state clearly that those who commit acts of terror, murder and cruelty in the name of Islam are not only destroying innocent lives, but are also betraying the values of the faith they claim to represent. No injustice done to Muslims can ever justify the massacre of innocent people, and no act of terror will ever serve the cause of Islam. We repudiate and dissociate ourselves from any Muslim group or individual who commits such brutal and un-Islamic acts. We refuse to allow our faith to be held hostage by the criminal actions of a tiny minority acting outside the teachings of both the Quran and the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him."

That is doublespeak and not a clear condemnation.
If you look at the AP there are no acts of Terror just Insurgents and Freedom Fighters.
