The Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago stands with our faith partners and the Jewish community in condemning the recent terrorist act to send explosives through cargo airlines to Jewish organizations in Chicago.
President Barack Obama declared today that authorities had uncovered a "credible terrorist threat" against the United States following the overseas discovery of U.S.-bound packages containing explosives aboard cargo jets. President Obama said both had been addressed to Jewish organizations in the Chicago area.
“We are thankful to our law enforcement agencies to uncover this plot before it could cause any harm,” said Dr. Zaher Sahloul, chairperson of the Council. “Illinois Muslims stand united with our Jewish partners and organizations in condemning this terrorist and heinous act. There is no place in Islam for terrorizing innocent people or spreading mayhem.”
“We urge our fellow citizens to stay alert and cooperate with law enforcement agencies,” said Mohamad Nasir, executive director of the Council. “This is our duty. One of the best ways to fight the perverted message of terrorists and protect our homeland is to affirm our patriotism through civic work, interfaith action and voting in large numbers on November 2nd.”
The Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago is a federation of 63 mosques and Muslim organizations throughout the metropolitan Chicago region. The Council's members collectively represent over 400,000 Muslims. The Council works to coordinate the activities of the Muslim community as well as provide education, training, networking and advocacy to and on behalf of our member organizations.
Something doesn't add up. Why send a bomb to a Synagogue in Chicago from halfway around the world when it will get sniffed and scanned a dozen times, when you can make a bomb and walk it down the street?
This was too made to order for rehabilitating CAIR's bad image.
I'm not sorry they got caught, Muslims are sorry they got caught.Sorry they got caught
WTF is wrong with you, Tank? Why would you wish to see the US suffer another terror attack?
Seriously....get help. That's a pathological level of anti-social attitude you got.
CAIR should be co-operating with investigators regarding its connections to terrorists, rather than patting itself on the back for condemning toner cartridges sent to Chicago synagogues.
Don't try to tell us how great the Muslims are on the same day they sent bombs to America
Fuck Islam. I think we've seen enough evidence there's nothing about it to support.
Look at any Islam country and look at their history of human rights abuses. Grow the fuck up and quit defending the indefensible. I'm so sick of people who refuse to take a stand against tryants, butchers and evil doers because it's not properly "mult-cultural" to condemn them.
You don't tolerate societies that commit human rights violations as a part of their ideology.
You do not give them the tools they need to kill and oppress.
When they are trying to kill youAnd BTW Allie, how is it "christian" to judge and hate 1.5 Billion of your fellow men?
What makes you think DC Muslims have prevented a terror attack?

FBI agents were tipped off to Ahmed in January, when a source inside the Muslim community said the 34-year-old telecommunications worker was asking around, trying to join a terrorist group and kill Americans overseas, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation continues.
