WASHINGTON, Aug. 4 /U.S. Newswire/ -- A prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group today condemned a shooting attack by an Israeli terrorist that killed four people and wounded many others on a bus in the Arab-majority town of Shfaram.

In its statement, the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said:

"This brutal attack on innocent civilians once again demonstrates that terrorism and extremism can rise out of any faith. We call on American religious and political leaders to condemn the attack and to repudiate the extremist views that apparently motivated the perpetrator. Terror is terror, no matter what faith the terrorist espouses."

CAIR, America's largest Muslim civil liberties group, has 31 offices and chapters nationwide and in Canada. Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.

CAIR = Practitioners of Hypocrisy

[mvpel]

Unless and until CAIR can point to the specific chapter and verse in the Torah or Haftorah that calls for or approves of murder, they should shut the hell up.

[U.H. Conservative]

Do we know the motive of the killer? Was he a terrorist or did he think his dog ordered him to do it?

[satchmodog9]

When CAIR gives a crap about what the Muslim scourge is doing to civilization, maybe I'll care about this.

[Prime Choice]

Wow. If only CAIR was as prompt to condemn Islamofascist terrorists. It only took 'em...what...three years to condemn 9/11?

Jews 3, muslims 1789.

Funny, there is no need to repudiate extremist views because
we don't espouse them as part of a religion, CAIR on the
other hand...

[EagleUSA]

Gross hypocrisy.

[Bahbah]

The folks at CAIR should do themselves a favor and just shut up.

CAIR is a terrorist organization and should be shut down and it's members thrown out of this country.

That being said, I doubt the majority (or even a substantial minority) of Israeli's support what happened, as opposed to 95%+ of Mohammedans that support their own blowing themselves up in a crowd of civilians.

[Politicalities]

Okay, listen up, CAIR, because here's the difference.

I absolutely guarantee you that the vast majority of Israelis are horrified by this and will rise up with loud voices to condemn it.

But when Muslim terrorists kill innocents, their fellows cheer them, honor them, worship them as martyrs, and dance in the streets.

[U.H. Conservative]

Thanks for the link. It appears that he was just a scumbag who became what he hated.

[pabianice]

Strange... CAIR has been quite silent about Muslim atrocities against Israeli and other civilians...

[ccmay]

Wow. I'm really trying to muster my disapproval of this, but my tank of "give-a-s**t" is has already been drained pretty dry by CAIR and their ilk.

[sheik yerbouty]

Likewise!

[sheik yerbouty]

Just as Muslims danced in the streets after the attack on America on 9/11!

[WilliamofCarmichael]

CAIR called on American religious and political leaders to condemn the attack and to repudiate the extremist views that apparently motivated the perpetrator

CAIR is a little too cute here.

And as noted above, it took them just a few minutes to speak out when it ain't one of theirs. Obviously they could not wait to express their "gotcha!"

But of course their attacks on civilians are "dog bites man" stories.

[abu afak]

You post a negative article on Israel.. including CAIR's email subscription address!.. and then call the Hypocrites?

[bfree]

When CAIR hosts a suicide bomber convention at their headquarters and holds a demonstration, I'll care about CAIR, until then all muslims can just STFU.
