Muslim leaders and organizations have condemned terrorist attacks committed by Muslims.

Hey, Jordan, in the wake of that truck attack in Nice, France in 2016, prominent Egyptian Muslim cleric Shaki Alam released a statement saying, quote, people who commit such ugly crimes are corrupt of the earth and follow in the footsteps of Satan and are cursed in this life and the hereafter. After that attack, the Arab League chief Ahmed Abdul Gait denounced the attack strongly and called it an act of, quote, craven terrorism. The United Arab Emirates foreign minister, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zahid al-Nahyan, said, quote, this heinous terrorist crime makes it imperative for all to work decisively and without hesitation to counter terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. Now how about that nightclub shooting at Pulse in Orlando? That was at a gay club. There's no way Muslims would speak out against that. They hate gays according to Alex. Nahid Awad from the Council of American Islamic Relations said, quote, we condemn it in the strongest possible terms. It violates our principles as Americans and as Muslims. I have a word for ISIS and their supporters. You do not speak for us. You do not represent us. You are an aberration. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani said, quote, I unequivocally condemn the horrific attack on Orlando, Florida. Nothing can justify killing of civilians. Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hassini, who is one of the female Muslims in elected office that Alex pretends don't exist, said, quote, I condemn this dastardly act of terror in the strongest possible terms and reiterate my government's zero-tolerance policy against any form of terrorism and violent extremism. London Mayor Sadiq Khan said, quote, This heinous and cowardly act on LGBT people in Orlando is an attack on our freedoms and values. We stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Orlando. Hey, what about that Charlie Hebdo attack? There's no way Muslims would condemn that, right? They should all be for it, because it was about the drawing of Muhammad and all that. There's absolutely no way Muslims condemn that attack. The Council on American Islamic Relations released a statement saying, quote, We strongly condemn this brutal and cowardly attack and reiterate our repudiation of any such assault on freedom of speech, even speech that mocks faiths and religious figures. The proper response to such attacks on the freedoms we hold dear is not to vilify any faith, but instead to marginalize extremists of all backgrounds who seek to stifle freedom and to create and widen societal divisions. The Arab League chief, Nabil al-Arabi, said, quote, He strongly condemned the terrorist attack on Charlie Hebdo's newspaper in Paris. I could literally do this all day, and part of me considered doing exactly that, just going through every major terrorist attack committed by a Muslim and listing off condemnation after condemnation from influential Muslims and Islamic organizations around the world.
