I like what this guy from CAIR-LA - Council on American-Islamic Relations said to CNN's Erin Burnett

as she tried to hold him (and all Muslims) responsible for the attacks.

first she read Obama's statement that "Muslim leaders must do more to prevent extremism" and asked him, Is Obama talking to you?

he was totally unwilling to take on any guilt.
No reason why he should.
A couple of times he mentioned the Planned Parenthood shooter.
and he talked about unrest and destabilization in Iraq and Syria,
and injustice!
and we must get to the roots of terrorism.
He said they were mourning today as Americans, not as Muslims.
great...

did anyone see this and get his name?
it was on CNN, between 7:30 and 8 pm tonite.
I guess I could bring up and watch the show again...
I just got that he was from CAIR-LA.
