$20 Photos Smell Like Suppression (Free Press)
When the Council on American-Islamic Relations/Michigan submitted a freedom-of-information request for the autopsy photos of Luqman Ameen
Abdullah, the head of a Detroit mosque shot to death by federal agents on Oct. 28, the county told CAIR, in a Nov. 24 letter, the 75 photos would cost $1,500. That's $20 a piece. Smells like suppression to me.
CAIR-IL: Hate Crimes in a Class of Their Own
Hate crimes are their own class of crime for a very good reason: The enhanced classification and punishment deters people from criminally acting out on their bigotry. It is the government's obligation to its citizens to take a no-tolerance position on such crimes.

CAIR: Oregon Mosque Targeted with Hate Graffiti
‘Allah is a pig’ scrawled on mailbox of Eugene Islamic center

(WASHINGTON, D.C., 11/30/09) - The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today reported that hate graffiti was scrawled on the mailbox of a Eugene, Ore., mosque.

CAIR said a police report (#0920380) indicates that vandals wrote “Allah is a pig” on the Abu-Bakr As-Siddiq Islamic Center‘s mailbox sometime on or before November 15th. Local police say they view the incident as a bias crime.

Earlier this month, CAIR called for an investigation of a possible bias motive for repeated vandalism at a North Carolina mosque.

CAIR also called on the FBI to investigate the bias-motivated vandalism of a Houston, Texas, mosque in which anti-Islamic remarks were scrawled on the walls of the facility.

On Thursday, December 3, CAIR will hold a news conference in the nation’s capital to release its 14th annual report, titled “Seeking Full Inclusion,” on the status of Muslim civil rights in the United States.
