CAIR Condolences to South Korea’s Embassy in the USA
2004-06-22
From The Council on American-Islamic Relations
On behalf of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Islamic civil rights organization, I offer my deepest condolences on the news of the brutal murder in Iraq of South Korean national, Mr. Kim Sun-il. As American Muslims and people of conscience, we condemn this latest act of murder in the strongest terms possible and hope that the perpetrators are swiftly brought to justice. ...

#3  Err...#2...thanks for the compliment, I think...but what I hoped you would notice is how the PC empty words of CAIR are similar to what we hear from Scott McClellan and President Bush[Kerry is too busy spending election advertising $ to take notice of the * 14 beheadings of Westerners in the last 2 months... hohum...Teresa, would you mind signing yet another blank check?].

My point is how come America has fallen on such barren times of leadership that the best of our current political leaders sounds no different than a religious lobby group? If you Google condemns brutal act, you'll get strange bedfellows using the same phrase to criticize "beheading."

* According to DEBKA:
In three weeks, al Qaeda has executed 14 captive Americans or allied nationals in Saudi Arabia and Iraq by beheading or cutting their throats.

#2  Rex, if you are drunk on anything alchoholic, you are light years ahead of whatever smarmy sentiments the moose limbs can proffer through CAIR.

Maybe it's the good Chardonnay that's making me act recklessly but... do these words sound familiar to anyone other than my drunken self? Whatever...at the very least, you must admit that these are empty, emotionally detached, politically correct platitudes that are condescendingly offered to assuage the dumb plebs in middle America...ie. you and me.
