I picked that up immediately after 9-11. What you heard from the Islamic community wasn't a condemnation of the specific attacks. What you heard was "We oppose the killing of innocent civilians."

Using the Islamic/Arab/Clinton method of deconstructing language, the above view means nothing. No American is innocent, because they pay taxes to a government, that they themselves chose, which in turn are used to purchase tanks, planes and bullets which are sent to Isreal. Israelis aren't civilians because they belong to the reserve Army forces. Israelis certainly are not innocent, they are Occupiers.

Which most of the media people have a hard time comprehending; it can satisfy many who are eager to hear 'soothing' words of 'condemnation'. Take it out of their context and it sounds fine. Look at it from their worldview and its meaningless; something to tell the unbelievers until the point of their death.

Took me all day to remember but i finally did. Immediately after 9/11 there was a service in the National Cathedral where the imam from CAIR spoke. Iwanted to throw my beer at the TV. He mentioned (which i still remember) the "unjustified killing of innocents" -- a statement with so many holes it could be swiss cheese. Seemed such a wishy washy statement at an occasion that demanded much stronger and unambiguos language. I really thought that fool would say something stronger.
