    The Council on American-Islamic Relations, the nation's largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, repeated its call Monday for the force-feeding of hunger-striking prisoners at Guantanamo Bay to stop.

"We've asked for the forced-feeding to be stopped in any case. ... It sends a very negative message to the Muslim world."
