Zawahiri Issues One Threatening Message to Obama and CAIR Condemns it. Still Nothing on the Thousands of Threats Directed at Bush.....

Hands off our guy. Note: Notice how they agree with the "legitimate grievances of Muslims" Zawahiri mentions.....

WASHINGTON, Nov 19, 2008--A prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group today condemned threatening rhetoric and racial slurs contained in a new video by Ayman al-Zawahri and said Al-Qaida's second-in-command does not speak for Muslims in this country or worldwide.

In a statement reacting to the new video, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said:

"As Muslims and as Americans, we will never let terrorist groups or terror leaders falsely claim to represent us or our faith. The legitimate grievances of Muslims in many areas of the world can never serve as an excuse or a justification for attacks on civilian populations. We once again repudiate Al-Qaida's actions, rhetoric and worldview and re-state our condemnation of all forms of terrorism and religious extremism."

CAIR took particular offense to al-Zawahri's use of the offensive term "house Negro" in reference to President-elect Barack Obama. "Islam rejects racism and seeks universal peace and brotherhood. We repudiate any and all use of racial slurs or insults."
