CAIR is certainly not an advocate for the abolition of terrorism. CAIR is affiliated with the Islamic Association for Palestine which was started by Hamas, a terrorist group.
Perhaps you missed this:
By the way...
Nearly every major American (and many, many foreign) Muslim group issues an official condemnation of every major terrorist attack. They're just not aired on Fox News or talked about on USMB.
Statements by Muslim leaders condemning terrorism
Why are there no condemnations from Muslim sources against terrorists?
A common complaint among non-Muslims is that Muslim religious authorities do not condemn terrorist attacks. The complaints often surface in letters to the editors of newspapers, on phone-in radio shows, in Internet mailing lists, forums, etc.
Actually, there are lots of fatwas and other statements issued which condemn attacks on innocent civilians. Unfortunately, they are largely ignored by newspapers, television news, radio news and other media outlets.
Overview:
The problem is not that condemnations do not exist; it is that they are not well publicized in the media. Allie Shah wrote in the Star Tribune in Minnneapolis, MN:
"The fact is that many prominent American Muslim groups have clearly and publicly denounced acts of terror in the name of Islam as barbaric, heinous and just plain wrong. Though they religiously send out press releases and e-mail statements after every attack, somehow their message doesn't seem to penetrate."
Two of the largest Muslim groups in the U.S. -- the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) regularly issue statements. However, they rarely appear in local newspapers, on TV or radio.
Allie Shaw continues:
"Last fall, CAIR launched a national petition drive as part of a campaign by Muslims called 'Not in the Name of Islam.' To date, nearly 700,000 Muslims have signed the petition condemning terrorism committed in the name of Islam, and many newspapers have covered the petition drive. As part of the same campaign, CAIR also created and paid for public service announcements set to air on television stations nationwide....."
"If all that wasn't enough, last Thursday the Fiqh Council of North America issued a fatwa, or religious ruling, against terrorism and extremism. Endorsed by more than 100 U.S. Muslim authorities, the fatwa boldly and unequivocally forbids terrorism and admonishes those who commit terrorist attacks....."
"The lengthy fatwa continues with references to the Qur'an that support the ruling. It may not be enough to dissuade a minority of extremists hellbent on destruction, but it is the right thing to do."
"In the meantime, we will continue to react with the same shock and dismay and, yes, anger, at the misguided people who continue to show no regard for human life. And we'll continue to speak out against terrorism in the hopes that someone is listening."
There's a lot more at that site about how frequently, seriously, and uniformly almost all Muslim organizations (especially the two biggest ones) are about condemning all acts of terrorism carried out by people who claim to be Muslim. It's simply a lack of awareness, not a lack of the condemnations, that leads certain people to believe Muslims don't speak out against terrorism.
So it's a major group that has categorically condemned terrorism, like the OP was looking for.
I don't play into McCarthyite guilty by association stuff. It's worth noting and knowing that CAIR, was partially founded by two people who were previously affiliated with the Islamic Association for Palestine, which was founded by Hamas before Hamas had carried out any suicide attacks or been labeled a terrorist organization. It's also worth knowing that Hamas is more than "just" a terrorist organization. Among its many working parts, it has a military wing who attack civilians, but also fairly legitimate political leaders and those who do humanitarian and social services work.
Similar to something like, say, the Black Panthers, the fact that parts of a large group are violent does not entirely discount the fact that other parts, in the Panthers case, served breakfast to 20,000 poor children a day or started schools in impoverished neighborhoods or, in Hamas's case, provide food, hospitals, orphanages, schools, etc to the people of Gaza. Many humane people can support humanitarian efforts anywhere by anyone while still condemning the violence of their associates.
And anyway, they were formerly associated with the IAP before they started CAIR and before Hamas was a terrorist organization. And as they made explicit, as they have grown to include thousands of members and changed in the last 20 years, they have condemned all violence against civilians and acts of terrorism with their "Not in Our Name" campaign.
Should Israel's Likud party be classified as terrorists or advocates of terrorism because they are affiliated and merged with Herut which was founded by the Irgun, a terrorist group? Is Rahm Emanuel a terrorism advocate because his father was a member of the Irgun?
According to your guilty by association logic, yes. But while it's worthwhile to consider the manner in which organizations were formed and what skeletons they have in their closet, they should be judged primarily on their current actions and affiliations.
Also, if the quotes in Kalam's signature are honest and accurate quotes of yours, I got nothing more to say. If you think Palestinians are genetically inferior and deserve en masse to be "stopmed out," then there can't be any point to a conversation on the subject. I don't deal with racists.
