CAIR Condemns Attack on Seattle Jewish Center.
WASHINGTON, July 29 /PRNewswire/ — The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today condemned an attack on a Jewish community center in Seattle, Wash., that left one person dead and several more injured. (A statement signed by representatives of the Seattle Muslim community, including CAIR-Seattle, is attached below.)
(…)
“We condemn this senseless attack on a religious institution and offer sincere condolences to the loved ones of those killed or injured. The American Muslim and Jewish communities must do whatever is within their power to prevent the current conflict in the Middle East from being transplanted to this country. We also urge local, state and national law enforcement authorities to step up security measures at synagogues, mosques and other religious institutions of both faiths.”
I don’t think that there will be any Israeli or Jewish suicide attacks on Muslim locations or mosques, but at least CAIR didn’t wait for an outcry to release a condemnation of last Friday’s attack in Seattle. They reacted the very next day. Maybe it has something to do with “[They] must do whatever is within their power to prevent the current conflict in the Middle East from being transplanted to this country.”
That’s encouraging. Not much else to say at this point in time — guess we’ll see if America’s Muslims concur. (db)
