Following the bombing of a Sbarro pizzeria in Jerusalem that killed 15 people, including seven children, the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) issued a press release stating that the bombing was “the expected bitter result of the reckless policy of Israeli assassination that did not spare children and political figures,” adding that MPAC “holds Israel responsible for this pattern of violence.” Source: Clyne, Meghan.  “State, Justice Will Appear at MPAC, Causing Concern.”  The New York Sun, December 16, 2005.
