WASHINGTON, May 11 /U.S. Newswire/ -- 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."

CAIR, America's largest Islamic civil liberties group, has 26 regional offices and chapters nationwide and in Canada.

bump !

[nuconvert]

mmm.........if it were some other group, I might agree with you.
But CAIR is Hamas. Therefore, this statement is meaningless. All it does is make their naive supporters feel better.

" Not as good as they could have, and maybe will, if you quit spitting at them."

It looks like an insincere and impotent damage control script issued in panic. The fact is that this religious violence they talk about is purely islamic. There's no other religion that attempts to force it's way on others with active widespread terrorist action! They're trying to put the source of cause and blame on everyone else.

This violence is at the core of their religion from the beginning. The list of their terrorist actions is huge. You'll find nothing mentioned about that pizza parlor the palis blew up with all the kids in it, or any of the other attacks by allah's obedient children. All over the world islamics are killing folks and CAIR doesn't have a damn thing to say about it.

There's no mullah's word's on that site condemning the acts and telling the faithful why that is so. That's, because the Koran doesn't contain any such words. If you're not a muslim, you haven't submitted and you're an enemy of allah. At best you're to be tolerated until a sufficient number are converted to enable your death, or convertion. It's tyranical BS, just like any other authoritarian con.

"But spitting in their face is not the way to bring them into the fold."

Uh... I don't think they want to get into the fold. They want to own it. 'The fold' is better off without them.

This isn't remarkable, really; CAIR is acting as any group of thinking, feeling people would. Which is a lot more than you can say about the rest of the left.

[ntnychik]

CAIR's condemnation, whether sincere or self-serving, is a whole lot more than anything I saw on the major networks tonight...more than anything I saw from the Congresscritters this afternoon (except Inhofe)...more than I'll see on Koppel tonight.

"Simply continued condemnations of terrorist acts..

WHAT!
You sound like you just fell off the turnip truck --- on your head...

Accepting "condemnations" and turning the other cheek to these murderous lying bastards can get MY family killed...
You may want to play "nice nice" with these bastards, but DON'T SPEAK FOR ME...
I want them dead........

With continued acts of war against the west, by militant Islamists --- you would be satisfied if CAIR "simply continued dondemnations of terrorists"??????

Well that might satisfy YOU....but it sure as hell doesn't satisfy me...

All the "condemnations" in the world by CAIR doesn't accomplish the necessary.....Destroy Militant Islamists and their supporters - worldwide..

If there exist ANY Muslims that wish to live in peace, side by side with non-Muslims ---- they had better join the fight or be considered part of the problem.

Semper Fi

How true, isn't it?? They just have a different mindset, as do the Dems!!

[devolve]

Their time is running out

[PhilDragoo]

[Grampa Dave]

Yeah sure in press releases.

However, their Mullahs will be leading cheers and chants for a twofer this week for their killer behind closed doors in America and the Middle East.

The man brutally murdered was an American and a Jew!

$crew all of the Islamofascist CAIR phoneys and their Islamo pollster John Zogby and his Islamofascist brother.

[F14 Pilot]

Thanks for the PING!

[MeekOneGOP]

That's speaks volumes.

[sheik yerbouty]

Its more a case of CAIR going, a la Ralph Kramden, "homina, homina, homina!"

[sheik yerbouty]

Basically CAIR is a front for sand nazis in filthy nightshirts..

[republicansforever]

CAIR can shove it any one with half a brain can see that CAIR would have probally killed the contractor them selfs if they thought they could get away with it. The only way to defeat islam is to eradicate islam i will not talk with folowers of a Rapist,murdering/pediophile the fact that we allow people like that in this country is disgraceful

[sheik yerbouty]

It’s time they were shown the door..
