U.S. Muslims Condemn Attack at Fort Hood CAIR calls shootings cowardly and inexcusable

U.S. Muslims Condemn Attack at Fort Hood CAIR calls shootings cowardly and inexcusable (SEATTLE, 11/5/09) -A prominent national Muslim civil rights and advocacy group tonight condemned an attack on Fort Hood military base in Texas that left at least 12 people dead. In a statement, the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said: "We condemn this cowardly attack in the strongest terms possible and ask that the perpetrators be punished to the full extent of the law. No religious or political ideology could ever justify or excuse such wanton and indiscriminate violence. The attack was particularly heinous in that it targeted the all-volunteer army that protects our nation. American Muslims stand with our fellow citizens in offering both prayers for the victims and sincere condolences to the families of those killed or injured." Along with innumerable condemnations of terror, CAIR has in the past launched an online anti-terror petition drive called "No...

Fort Hood shootings.

Posted by Muhammad Ayub, Olympia, WA on Thursday night. Assalam alaikum, By now, I am sure everyone is aware of the attack in Fort Hood. From the sound of the perpetrator's name (Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan, an Army psychiatrist), this idiot is likely to be from South Asia.

Malik has done by his murders. It is bad enough for a family to be getting ready to see their loved ones off to Afghanistan, but to hear that their loved one was killed or wounded right here, by a fellow soldier, must be the ultimate insult to the ultimate injury...no amount of compassion or sympathy can alleviate their sorrow. Although many will refer to this as a "cowardly attack", there is nothing "cowardly" or brave about this man's attack; it is simply an act of evil. We don't know what set him off or who the ot...
