Council on American-Islamic Relations is holding a press conference now condemning the actions of the shooters.
I am sincerely glad CAIR did this. They needed to do it. Less so because any non-Muslim American might have demanded it, but far more so because potential fundamentalist Jihadi recruits need to hear their ideology repudiated from within the faith.
Another recent positive development is the publication of The Study Quran. If I am not mistaken, this is the only version of the Quran with scholarly commentary published within and adjacent to relevant scriptures. The editorial board responsible for that commentary was made up of a great many reputable clerics from various Islamic sects throughout the world. Again, a pretty tough crowd for a fundamentalist to win a theological debate against.
