WASHINGTON — The Council on American-Islamic Relations is condemning the shootings at Fort Hood, although it’s not known whether the shooter was Muslim.
Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the group, said they don’t know anything about shooting suspect Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan. He scheduled a news conference for Thursday night in Washington to condemn the shootings and discourage backlash against Muslims
The group issued a statement condemning the shootings as a “cowardly attack.” They say no political or religious ideology could justify or excuse such violence.
The group said American Muslims stand with their fellow U.S. citizens in offering prayers for the victims and condolences for their families.
