CAIR: American Muslims Stand with Sikhs After Wis. Shootings
Houses of worship urged to review advice in CAIR community safety kit
(WASHINGTON, D.C., 8/5/12) –- The Council on
American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said today that American Muslims
"stand with their Sikh brothers and sisters" following a deadly shooting
attack targeting a house of worship of that faith this morning in
Wisconsin.

In a statement, the Washington-based Muslim civil rights organization said:
"While details of the attack and the motivation of the
attacker are still emerging, American Muslims stand with their Sikh
brothers and sisters in this time of crisis and loss. We condemn this
senseless act of violence, pray for those who were killed or injured and
offer sincere condolences to their loved ones."
CAIR officials are in contact with the Milwaukee Muslim community as it offers support to its Sikh neighbors.
Because of this and other violent incidents, CAIR is urging
mosques and houses of worship of all faiths nationwide to review advice
on security procedures contained in its "Muslim Community Safety Kit."

CAIR: Mosque Attacks Common Nationwide
CAIR has in the past spoken out against bias-motivated attacks on American Sikhs. [NOTE: Sikh men who wear beards and turbans as part of their faith are often targeted by bigots who mistake them for Muslims.]
Last year, CAIR offered a $5,000 reward for information leading
to the arrest and conviction of the individual or individuals who
gunned down two elderly Sikh men in Elk Grove, Calif.

In 2010, CAIR called for an FBI investigation of an attack on a
Sikh cab driver in West Sacramento, Calif. The driver said his
passengers made anti-Muslim remarks during the attack. Two men were
later arrested on charges of felony assault and commission of a hate
crime.
CAIR is America's largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy
organization. Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam,
encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims,
and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.
It is time for Muslims to recognize that - "How much they or their religion are being disliked by right-wing Hindus or Christians - because daily Islamic Terrorists are hunting down infidels as sanctioned in their Holy Book".
It is time to bring a peaceful edition of Quaran, just like Bible only talks about peace and skipped old testament, when the punishment for disobedience of a son is "death".
The point is we don't see Jews stoning their disobedient sons even though it is written in their scriptures. But, Radical Islamists love to implement verses of Quaran that are condemned across democracies.
Yet, Muslims will come up and say there are no hate verses in Quaran. Is so, then why don't Muslim clerics, declare all Terrorists as Infidel ?
It is sorry to hear that Sikhs are being attacked because of the actions of Radical Muslims.
There is only one 'safety kit' for Muslims - "revise Quaran for World Peace so that next generation Muslims get a chance to skip the hate infidel verses"; nothing else will work.
