- CAIR-Texas: Muslim Garb Gets Houston Student Singled Out at Festival
Mustafaa Carroll, who heads the local chapter of Council of American-Islamic Relations-Texas, said the incident hurts Muslim-American relations. "Every time you have one of these incidents, it gives people cause for concern because there's so much anti-Muslim rhetoric out there," he said. "The fact is that most of the terrorists attacks in this country are carried out by non-Muslims, who pretty much operate under the radar.

Hassan Shibly of CAIR, who was at the center of last year's controversy, said he welcomes a free exchange of ideas but wonders if Islamic material truly would be allowed. "We hope that those who are fighting to ensure Christian students can share their faith in school will stand strong with Jewish, Muslim, and other students who wish to do the same," he said. "You cannot stand for First Amendment rights only for the faith or point of view you agree with and deny it to those who share a faith you disagree with." - CAIR-California: Muslim Youth Leadership Program (MYLP) 2013
