Muslims DO denounce terrorist acts

We frequently hear in the news media cries from folks who claim that Muslims do not denounce terrorist acts by their coreligionists in the US and other parts of the world. You should know that Muslims publicly and loudly denounce violence undertaken in their religion's name.

I don't know if you saw Peter Smith's article in the Courier Journal this week about a local Pakistani group condemning the May 1 attempted car bombing in New York and that group's efforts to support law enforcement. There is a link to the story below.

Please note that several US Muslim organizations have also condemned the attempt. Links to their statements appear after the link to the CJ article.
