#1 What about condemning the bastards who did this? Where is the outrage in the Islamic world when they target old men and children? There is none, because deep down people like CAIR agree with what happened at Beslan.

This is a simple thing that can be stated with simple words, not the Clintonesque spin doctors we see here.

#2 At least they used 'terrorists', something that quite a bit of the mainstream media has trouble finding in their vocabulary lately.

#3 They don't "dishonor the cause they espouse".
It's their cause which lacks any honor.
That's what CAIR and all the others fail to acknowledge.

#4 I think that this group had better reconsider whether it is more important to them to support America or their co-religionists. It is not enough to denounce the terrorists, they have to name them and fight them. George Bush said after 9/11 that "you are either with us or with the terrorists." It's long past the time to choose. A few more incidents like Beslan and their free ride may come to a very unpleasant end.

#5 No more incidents, for me. Beslan did it. Fry 'em up wherever you find them, from Grozny to Teheran to Islamabad to Riyadh to Washington, DC. The reservoir is dry.

#6 What is disgusting about this is that by 'calling for a swift resolution to the conflict' they are deflecting the blame from the Islamist terrorists who perpetrated it.

I have noticed this same tactic from that Palestinian woman who is the western PR mouthpiece for Yasser. She likewise condemned the recent bus bombing by saying she hopes they resolve the conflict that causes both palestinians and israelis to be killed (loosely paraphrased) thus also deflecting the blame from where it truly lies.

This is a snakey trick and like De Bono says, betrays their true position.

They actually agree with the cause of the people who commit these attrocities and want to make life easier for others like them.

I love the way the international media refuses to actually refer to the Beslan terrorists by the name they gave themselves.

I heard it on BBC world service in the first couple of days of the seige : does anybody here have it? it was something Islam something...

they never repeated it after things got bad.

after that they only referred to them in the most secular of ways. "chechyn rebels" or "arab nationals" who helped them. absolutely refusing to use the groups real name to deflect blame from radical islamism.

#10 as pathetic as CAIR's statement is on the Breslan terrorist attack I couldn't find any statement on Darfer.

#11 my mistake (should have spelled it darfur)

CAIR has a little piece at the end of August where Sudan proudly brainwashed a US official

#12 We're on to you CAIR...

There was no statement posted on this website at all until....today! The CAIR spokeswoman claimed it was because all the muslims were at a conference in Chicago and couldn't get to the computer. (Of course, the conference began AFTER the siege of the school by these devils).

CAIR only spoke up when talk radio hosts demanded to know why none of the "moderate" muslims in this country were condemning this.

CAIR denies that the problems in the muslim world are totally due to the actions of the "small minority" of "extremists"...they continue to blame the U.S. and Israel for their evil.

#13 No words can describe the horror and grief generated by the deaths of so many innocent people at the hands of those who dishonor the cause they espouse.

Well, certainly not those words. How about

Muslim terrorists in Beslan tortured and murdered hundreds whose families are now stricken with grief and swelling with anger against terrorists. The terrorists and those who think like them will pay in an ugly way.

That sounds like a better description to me.
