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.

Yeah, sure you do.

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.
