CAIR CONDEMNS MURDER OF AMERICAN IN IRAQ

(WASHINGTON, D.C., 5/11/04) - The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today condemned the murder of an American civilian in Iraq by a group claiming links to Al-Qaeda.

A video posted on an Internet web site shows the beheading of a Philadelphia man working as a contractor in Iraq whose body was found on a highway overpass in Baghdad on Saturday. The group that carried out the killing said it was in retaliation for the ongoing Iraq prison abuse scandal.

In its statement, the Washington-based Islamic civil rights and advocacy group said:

"We condemn this cold-blooded murder and repudiate all those who commit such acts of mindless violence in the name of religion. We call on people of all faiths and cultures to work together for peace and reconciliation, not war and destruction."

They didn't apologize though. I demand an apology for the behavior of 6 of THEIR people, accompanied by a promise that changes will be made.

Maybe they condemn, but not enough to post on their website.
