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.

CAIR is America's largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization. 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.

The man was in the military since BEFORE 9/11, enlistd right out of high school...born and raised in the US—the south in fact. He has always been a Muslim—at least culturally.

He was harassed by his fellow soldiers for his ethnicity. He was a psychiatrist at Walter Reed and very intimately involved in hearing about the horror stories of soldiers coming back from battle. He became disenchanted with the US Military presence in the middle east.

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."

A pharmacy college graduate was indicted Thursday on new charges in an alleged terror plot to kill two prominent U.S. politicians and shoot people at American shopping malls.......The 27-year-old Mehanna was arrested Oct. 21 on a charge of conspiring to provide material support to terrorists. The 10-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury and released by the U.S. attorney's office also charges Mehanna and Abousamra with conspiracy to kill in a foreign country, conspiracy to provide false information to law enforcement and making numerous false statements to law enforcement.

This was so fast, it almost sounds as if Oboma gave them their talking points. Oboma was born and raised a radical Muslim. This is a reflection on him and his teachings, too.

I didn’t disbelieve, it’s difficult to get that questioning tone from a keyboard! The questions always come out accusing sounding when typed.

This is not the first time an Islamic U.S. soldier has killed his fellow soldiers...

Remember, not too long ago, the plot to do this at Fort Dix? 6 terrorists were arrested before they could pull it off.

Your comment fits with my response to all things CAIR-the name should be changed to The Liaison for Islamic American Realtions (LIAR)!

punished to the full extent of the law.

The UCMJ still contains "death by firing squad." That's got my vote!

Problem is 200 million Americans are fed up, and Cair is pissing in its pants.

And I have a simple question. Why do we have Muslims here on Visas? Are we asking to get killed?
