| CAIR Condemns Murder of Paul Johnson |
| 2004-06-18 |
| From the Council on American-Islamic Relations We, the undersigned Muslims, wish to state clearly that those who commit acts of terror, murder and cruelty in the name of Islam are not only destroying innocent lives, but are also betraying the values of the faith they claim to represent. No injustice done to Muslims can ever justify the massacre of innocent people, and no act of terror will ever serve the cause of Islam. We repudiate and dissociate ourselves from any Muslim group or individual who commits such brutal and un-Islamic acts. We refuse to allow our faith to be held hostage by the criminal actions of a tiny minority acting outside the teachings of both the Quran and the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. CAIR extends its condolences to the family of the victim. [Individuals and organizations representing more than 600,000 Muslims worldwide have already signed the CAIR petition.] |

| #3 Aren't they supposed to produce a simultaneous press release in Arabic that proclaims solidarity with the attackers, or does just Arafat do that? |

| #2 Uh-huh. This is nothing but PR from the whiney America-hating pricks. I can smell the bullshit from here. |

| #1 I looked at the website and their petition, but failed to see any list of signatories. My cynical self wonders if it was just a dignatory of Saudi Arabia (representing the Royal family = 400,000) and some web macro registering as "Shaheeda #(a+1)" for the other 200,000. |
