Sorry, if CAIR wanted better treatment for Muslims, it could start by denouncing statements such as the ones quoted above.
How do you know it hasn't? From what I recall, they have made statements from 9/11 on wards that clearly denounce violent extremism.
Of course, when the largest muslim organizations in the world denounce terrorism and say that extremists and their violence are heretics, it gets no note in most of the "mainstream" media in the US.
How many Arab-Americans that are muslim have killed Americans? Would you be surprised if white supremacists have killed more Americans over the years? I wouldn't be surprised.
