Shooter's Brother-in-Law at CAIR Presser: 'I Have No Idea Why He Would Do That'
[PJMEDIA] The Council on American-Islamic Relations... the Moslem Brüderbund's American arm ... in Los Angeles pulled together a presser after the name of one of the San Bernardino shooters was identified as Syed Farook. The usual suspects, the usual threadbare arguments... Farook's brother-in-law, Farhan Khan, was brought to the microphone by CAIR ...designated a terrorist group by the UAE... to make a family statement -- but was shielded from questions about the degree of Farook's faith or other details about the shooter. Farook, a U.S. citizen, worked as an inspector for the county health department that was holding the Christmas party at the site of the shooting, the Inland Regional Center's auditorium. Khan's sister was married to Farook. "We unequivocally condemn the horrific act that happened today," said Hussam Auyloush, executive director of the CAIR chapter, at the presser, adding "there is absolutely nothing that can justify" the mass shooting that killed 14 and maimed 17. He mused that the cause could be workplace violence, mental illness or extremism. Muzammil Siddiqi ... issued a fatwa on Islam Online, stating By participating in a non-Islamic system, one cannot rule by that which Allah has commanded.... We must not forget that Allah's rules have to be established in all lands, and all our efforts should lead to that direction.In 2002, federal authorities raided headquarters of the Fiqh Council. However, no arrests were made, and in fact in July 2005, Siddiqi's Fiqh Council of North America publicly issued a fatwa piously stating Islam's condemnation of terrorism and religious extremism..... , director of the Islamic Society of Orange County, said Southern Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Muslims stood "in solidarity" with the victims and condemn the attack. "We have condemned all violence everywhere," Siddiqi said, adding they would like to see law enforcement conduct a full investigation including the "people and motives" behind the attack. He asked people to "not implicate Islam or Muslims... our faith is against that kind of behavior." Posted by: Fred 2015-12-04 |
