It is often on the right said that Islamic groups don’t stand up and condemn terrorists.
Let us make clear the lie this is:
From the the Council on American Islamic Relations and the US Council of Muslim Organizations(CAIR):
“These savage and despicable attacks on civilians, whether they occur in Paris, Beirut or any other city, are outrageous and without justification. We condemn these horrific crimes in the strongest terms possible. Our thoughts and prayers are with the loved ones of those killed and injured and with all of France. The perpetrators of these heinous attacks must be apprehended and brought to justice.”
From the Independent:
Iran’s president Hassan Rouhani condemned the attacks, calling them a “crime against humanity”
The foreign minister for Qatar, Khaled al-Attiyah, labelled the atrocities “heinous”.
Joko Widodo, the leader of Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim country, said his nation “condemns the violence that took place in Paris.”
Time had some notable condemnations from individuals
You could go on — they are endless. But my favorite is the tweet about 1.57 Billion Muslims. Let us remember just how small a minority these terrorists represent.
