CAIR cautions India over retaliation
2008-11-28
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) -- the largest Muslim rights group in the US and Canada -- while condemning the Mumbai terrorist attacks asked the Indian government to protect its citizens from the type of retaliatory attacks that have followed similar incidents in the past.

CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad said in a statement, "We condemn these cowardly attacks, and demand that all hostages taken by the attackers be released immediately and unconditionally. We offer sincere condolences to the loved ones of those killed or injured in these senseless and inexcusable acts of violence against innocent civilians. American Muslims stand with our fellow citizens of all faiths in repudiating acts of terror wherever they take place and whomever they target."

#11  CAIR is in deep doodoo in the United States, with countless reports of "improper" to downright illegal behavior. They don't have "standing" to "council" India on anything.

#10  Sounds exactly like the kind of rhetoric Yasser Arafat used after every single Paleo attack on Israel. STFU, Nihad.

#1  "...to protect its citizens from the type of retaliatory attacks that have followed similar incidents in the past." Incident? How about murderous act of war against humanity, Awad?
