Free Muslims Speak Up

I got an email today from the Free Muslims Against Terrorism condemning the latest terrorist attack in Israel.

The Free Muslims Coalition rejects arguments such as the one made by Islamic Jihad to justify killing Israeli civilians and calls on American Muslim leaders to publicly condemn terrorism against Israelis and Jews.

The Free Muslims Coalition recognizes that American Muslim organizations have become more aggressive in condemning terrorism over the last few months. However, the Free Muslims believe that it is essential for American Muslim organizations to specifically condemn terrorism against Israel by HAMAS, Islamic Jihad and other terrorist organizations.


They go on to add- This is not to say that American Muslims cannot condemn Israeli policies or Israel's treatment of Palestinians. However, Israel's policies should never be used to justify terrorism against Israelis and Jews.

Emphasis mine. Good for them to speak out on this.
