    Singh says he assumed a Muslim identity – Rafik Alvi - and went into the mosques pretending to be interested in converting. He says he frequented mosques all over the state but attended the four in Des Moines regularly for seven years.

  • CAIR: Negative Connotations Surrounding Sharia Must Be Dispelled
    The politicization of this issue is undermining the integrity of our judicial system and constitutional protections. US judges are equipped with the necessary legal tools to evaluate the legal and factual issues before them without the requirement of bright line rules, especially those that originate out of misinformation, distortion and outright discrimination.
