You mentioned that CAIR condemned the killings so I searched to find their press release because CAIR typically avoids such statements unless they can use it to distance themselves from the assailant (i.e., ‘he wasn’t really a muslim’ or ‘Islam is a religion of peace so...) Sure enough -CAIR’s statement tries to imply that their religion condemns such activity even though Islam advocates the killing of non-believers. Here’s CAIR’s statement:
“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 religious or political 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.”
This webpage has a selection of different American Islamic organizations and their press releases - of which CAIR was one. http://www.ask.com/bar?q=cair+condemns+hasan&page=1&qsrc=19&dm=all&ab=4&title=American+Muslims+condemn+Maj.+Nidal+Malik+Hasan%27s+Ft.+Hood+shooting+%26amp%3B&u=http%3A%2F%2Famericanmuslimjournal.typepad.com%2Fan_american_muslim_journa%2F2009%2F11%2Famerican-muslims-condemn-ft-hood-shootings-grieve-with-survivors-and-families.html&sg=7utgUyK1DESXaV3s0%2Bv4qs7KwbFivtjkUe%2BcZkCxJ3k%3D&tsp=1257564666727
Thanks for that confirmation.
