SAN BERNARDINO: Muslim Group CAIR Condemns Killings, Family Says They’re Baffled [VIDEO]

Late last night the Council For Islamic Relations held a joint press conference with family members of the dead San Bernardino shooter. Business Insider recaps:



CAIR executive director, Hussam Ayloush said, “We unequivocally condemn the horrific act that occurred today.” Muzammil Siddiqi, a religious director with the Islamic Society of Orange County, said “we have condemned all violence, everywhere” and urged people to “not implicate Islam or Muslims” at large for the attack. Siddiqi said “our faith has nothing to do with [the shooting], our faith is against this kind of behavior.”

Syed Rizwan Farook, a 28-year-old US citizen, and Tashfeen Malik, 27, both died during a shootout with police, less than two miles from where the mass shooting happened. Farhan Khan, Farook’s brother-in-law, said ” Why would he do something like this? I have absolutely no idea. I am in shock myself.” FBI officials investigating the Inland Regional Center shooting have suggested the incident could be considered an act of domestic terrorism — though no such classification has been made official.
