US Moslems disavow terrorism

(Oops.  I just accidentally blew away the original of this post.)

The Council on American Islamic Relations, a leading US Islamic advocacy group, has issued a petition titled "Not In Our Name", intended to "demonstrate once and for all that Muslims in America and throughout the Islamic world reject violence committed in the name of Islam."  The petition uses quotes from the Koran to show that Islam prohibits the killing of anyone in captivity, and says Islam should not "be held accountable for the un-Islamic and barbaric deeds of a minuscule minority."

*nods* The Muslims that are over here are pretty vocal about what they do and do not believe in.... and the ones that are here and go to Mosque every Friday are pretty damn patriotic... at least the ones in this town. To the point where, post-New-York, the rest of the Seattleites around the mosque here got together and split up guard duty.... they felt pretty strongly about it. These are our Muslims, we like'em a lot, and we're gonna watch their backs, they said.
