U.S. Muslims Condemn Attack at Fort Hood(CAIR)
PR Newswire ^ | Nov. 5, 2009 | Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)

Posted on 11/05/2009 4:02:17 PM PST by mdittmar

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.

"and ask that the perpetrators be punished to the full extent of the law."

He's dead, Jim. But maybe CAIR knows if there are other "perpetrators".

Didn’t I hear someone once say, “Never let a crisis
go to waste.” CAIR is using this to promulgate it’s
image.

I am really busy and don’t have time to read their press release.

What was their problem with the attack? Not enough people killed to satisfy them? Is it because no kids were killed?

What was the reason for condemning the attack?

What was the bottom line?

yeah that right there completes the Islamic link for me .. why make such a statement when noone, officially, has even suggested a link to Islam. Definately a fast canned response

They’re probably just trying to create the impression “we condemn violence just like everyone else”

CAIR is going into CYA mode, but you can rest assured that they’ll shed no tears over the Soldiers murdered at Fort Hood.
