This is interesting: CAIR made the decision to help the family of the San Bernardino shooters, and the fallout was pretty much what you'd expect:
What a refreshing change from the attitude of so many "Christians," who seem to think that somebody (else) must be punished, no matter what. It's sort of emblematic that Breitbart would automatically cast the family members as "terrorists."
Sometimes I think this country can be pretty disgusting, and then I remember that we're hearing from the fringe.
Later that day, Ayloush and CAIR took a step the group had never taken before: It would advise the family of a suspected killer and terrorist. Soon, Khan spoke to reporters at a news conference organized by CAIR.
The organization received angry calls and critical coverage from conservative media, including Breitbart, which ran a headline asking, "Why is CAIR helping San Bernardino terrorists after the fact?" Others wondered why CAIR was getting involved before it was clear whether others — possibly even other family members — had known of the attacks before they occurred.
Almost half a year after the deadliest attack on American soil since Sept. 11, 2001, Ayloush said CAIR does not regret the decision.
"It is not about what is popular or convenient," Ayloush said. "We wanted to make sure no one is punished for the sins of others."
