Do you think it's a bit hypocritical of CAIR to denounce this as "terrorism"?

Question

Yet are silent about the thousands of murderers who are killing innocent people in the name of their religion?

Pfo-can you READ? I am asking a Q about an random act of vandelism (no doubt motivated by fear of Muslims), which is being decried as terrorism when they will NOT step up and defend their religion against MURDERERS. How dare you be so presumptuous so assume to know anything about me. In your attempt to sound 'tolerant' and non judgmental, response is nothing less than idiotic,arrogant and puerile.

Answer 1

And wasn't it just last week in the Bay area that a reporter was killed by Muslims. The reporter was working on a story that was linking the Muslims to a terrorism and terrorism funding.
CAIR has become a real problem and is doing nothing to help the US in the war on terrorism, until they do they should be viewed with great distrust

Answer 2

I think American Muslims are too silent. They are either not speaking loud enough, the mainstream media is not featuring them, they're scared, or they are unwilling to denounce someone associated with their religion. This bombing may be an example of Islamic Fascists blowing up a non compliant sect?

There's something going on in San Francisco. The reporter being killed, this mosque. You have a city council which proclaims Hugo Chavez Day, but wants to shut down Michael Savage.

There's a lot of questions in Answers today pertaining to Liberalism. San Francisco is a perfect illustration of modern day Liberalism gone amok. There's nothing Liberal about shutting down speech and accepting all forms of public behavior. It's too bad. It's a beautiful city.

Answer 3

It may be hypocritical to make one statement but not another, but that doesn't mean that they're wrong either way. It really could be that the mosque fires were set deliberately, which would be arson; I wouldn't call that terrorism or a "hate crime", but it is vandalism and harassment.

And CAIR, while perhaps not as vocally outraged as they could be, hasn't been silent about terrorist attacks by anybody.

Of course, these are from CAIR's own website, so keep that in perspective.

Answer 4

.... Those people are completely unrelated to terrorists, and what was done to them is vandalism if not terrorism. Are you so blind with hatred for Muslims that you label all of them in the same group? Can not Muslims have terror attack directed against them? If you're a Christian, are you in some way responsible for the crusades? Or the priests that sexually abuse children, are you somehow associated with them, simply for being a Christian? Should every Christian yell from the rooftops 'Down with pedophiles!' to prove they aren't associated with the bad priests?
