CAIR Cares

The usually tendentious Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) provided a very reasonable statement in response yesterday to the events in Libya and Egypt.  In their Press Conference they said, amongst other things:

"We agree with Secretary Clinton, who said that 'violence like this is no way to honor religion or faith.'  The extremists who carried out these attacks deserve punishment, and the extremists who produced and promoted an intentionally inflammatory film deserve condemnation.

I think that is a good balance.  Punishment for those who kill, maim or destroy and bad words for those who, in exercising their First Amendment Rights, make films that hurt the feelings of others or are slanderous.

And there is this article, in The New York Times.
