| German Muslim Groups Condemn Train Bombing Plot | ||
| 2006-08-27 | ||
Germany's Muslim community on Friday condemned the failed plot to blow up passengers trains in the west of the country last month and offered to help authorities fight terrorism. Sixteen organizations, including the Central Council of Muslims in Germany, issued a joint statement saying they were "deeply shocked and horrified. Islam offers no justification for such acts," added the groups.
They said Muslims could have been victims in more than one sense if the plot to blow up trains outside the cities of Hamm and Koblenz on July 31 had succeeded. Homemade bombs planted on the trains in trolley suitcases failed to explode, averting an almost certain bloodbath. "If such an attack succeeds, we are potential victims of such attacks, along with all other citizens. But we will also be branded 'co-accused'," the groups said. Their statement follows a call by Interior Minister Wolfgang Schäuble earlier this week on Muslims to condemn the plot, which he has described as a terrorist attempt to kill countless people.
He called on Muslim communities to reject extremists in their ranks and alert security officials to them. He added during Friday prayers imams should not denounce western values as morally inferior, thereby radicalizing young Muslims. | ||

| #5 "German Muslim Groups Condemn Train Bombing Plot" Of course they condemn the would-be bombers. For jumping the gun and getting the Germans' attention too soon. |

| #3 Its the same broken record again and again.We are against terror, but get out of Muslim countries while allowing more of us come to the Free World, and the tiny minority of extremists might put a cap on terror. |

| #2 I was hoping the Germans wouldn't react like the French. The Muzzies must be getting concerned for their safety. Probably lots of turmoil in the local beergartens. SS underground may have let it be known that there would be an outbreak of night time fires in the rodent dens. |

| #1 Wow! It's only been more than a week and suddenly the Moderate Muslims™ are now coming forward. I guess Their statement follows a call by Interior Minister Wolfgang Schäuble earlier this week on Muslims to condemn the plot, which he has described as a terrorist attempt to kill countless people. Oh, I get it. Someone had to prod them first. Do you think any of them understand that it is the way they constantly show this sort of slack response that leaves most of us in extreme doubt? Sixteen organizations, including the Central Council of Muslims in Germany, issued a joint statement saying they were "deeply shocked and horrified. Islam offers no justification for such acts," added the groups.“ Ooooh, "shocked and horrified" but still no spittle-spewing imams reported or jihadist attendees ejected. In other words, SSDD. |
