(<span style="font-weight: 700;">WASHINGTON, D.C., 5/30/14</span>) -- The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation's largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today said it has asked the Fox subsidiary FX Networks for a meeting to discuss community concerns about<img align="right" alt="" border="0" height="108" hspace="10" name="" src="http://www.cair.com/images/mailer/FX-logo.jpg" style="border: 0px;" vspace="10" width="200" />potential Islamophobic stereotyping in the upcoming series "Tyrant" due to air June 24.</div>

In a letter to FX CEO John Landgraf, CAIR wrote in part:</div>
<blockquote id="yui_3_16_0_1_1402351766094_7526" style="margin: 1em;">
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1402351766094_7525" style="padding: 0px;">
"Because of these [community] concerns, we respectfully request an opportunity to view and comment on the series content prior to its air date. We also request a meeting at your convenience between FX representatives and leaders of the American Muslim community to discuss ways in which we can help mitigate the possible negative impact of this series on the lives of ordinary American Muslims...</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
"We have no desire to inhibit the creative process or your right to produce any entertainment content you wish. However, it is our duty to defend the safety of the American Muslim community and help ensure the accurate portrayal of Muslims and Islam."</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
The letter also noted that CAIR has challenged actual and potential anti-Muslim stereotypes in productions such as ABC Family network's "Alice in Arabia," "Executive Decision," "24," "The Siege," "True Lies," "Rules of Engagement," "Obsession," "The Third Jihad," "Jihad in America," and "The Sum of All Fears."</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
CAIR is America's largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization. Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.</div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1402351766094_6662" style="padding: 0px;">
(WASHINGTON, D.C., 6/3/14) -- The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation's largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today said it is urging Virginia prosecutors to enhance the charges being brought against a Woodbridge, Va., man who allegedly carried out a bias-motivated assault on a Muslim commuter.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1402351766094_6663" style="padding: 0px;">
<img align="right" alt="" border="0" height="90" hspace="10" name="" src="http://www.cair.com/images/mailer/vre_header_logo.jpg" style="border: 0px;" vspace="10" width="132" />The Muslim victim reported to CAIR that the alleged assault took place May 20 on a VRE commuter train in Virginia. According to the victim, a government employee, the alleged assailant became enraged and shouted "speak f**king English" when he heard the victim speaking on a cell phone in his native Bengali.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1402351766094_6664" style="padding: 0px;">
During the incident, the alleged attacker reportedly struck the Muslim commuter in the head, threatened to throw him from the train and told a conductor that the victim might have a bomb.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1402351766094_6665" style="padding: 0px;">
Fairfax County Police Department (Case Number 20141410002) arrested the alleged attacker and charged him with assault and battery as a hate crime under Virginia statute 18.2-57.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1402351766094_6666" style="padding: 0px;">
That statute states: "Any person who commits a simple assault or assault and battery is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor, and if the person intentionally selects the person against whom a simple assault is committed because of his race, religious conviction, color or national origin, the penalty upon conviction shall include a term of confinement of at least six months, 30 days of which shall be a mandatory minimum term of confinement."</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
The alleged perpetrator, who was released on his own recognizance, is scheduled to appear in Fairfax Country General District Court (Case Number GC14102817-00) on July 11, 2014.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
"We urge prosecutors to consider the seriousness of this alleged assault in determining what additional or increased charges may be brought to bear to help deter others who may consider similar apparently bias-motivated attacks," said CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
CAIR is America's largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization. Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.</div>

<div style="padding: 0px;">
Turning to the Senate, CAIR joins many other national civil liberties, human rights and public interest organizations in <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001UVpzkNyBXww4QczhKOaejIwdTW_xRsah4PTxzG_Qy6umLdsi7R7rS38Dy-6pAiVNbP3ULlJFN3HghRvXgOSHxmgd5scmT_UMZVpoqIB2XkB07sbSnnEMgQz3CwT5Kr6ChwReP6dhypCsHZGF6izb81RuA3QeLmw6H1qOKjrmU-ZlWS9yd3xxX4AM4dayiPaNkRaxmHUSNqZ2PboVg8V5PHb9G1yey2gM2PNuAIly-_1ucwS5CI2mwg8A2NxOWZf8&c=R0sY0rcjYiQoMf6LSntwukAQYH_F1FoEfwoLNPD-hZ2LNCtBzFDIiw==&ch=IGogu2Jb-HNYpkOAn3KbXLj00OtRk-zxLxsOWzVx7WFisY0u0lbYhw==" rel="nofollow" style="background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: #196ad4; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">a letter</a> to leadership and members of the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary and Senate Select Committee on Intelligence in calling for an end to unconstitutional government spying programs by asking that they produce legislation which meaningfully restores privacy rights.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
Introduced by House Terrorism Subcommittee Chairman Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) in October 2013, the USA FREEDOM Act (H.R. 3361) was supposed to be Congress' first significant action toward prohibiting the NSA's bulk collection of American's telephone and internet records.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
Instead, on May 22 the House passed a less than compressive, significantly weakened version of the bill that some of its original cosponsors including Congressmen Mike Honda (D-CA) and Justin Amash (R-MI) voted against. Passing the House by a 303-121 margin, the bill's new language bans indiscriminate bulk collection but codifies large scale domestic spying practices.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
The newly-adopted version of the USA Freedom Act extends by two years the originally proposed sunset of Section 215 of the Patriot Act from June 2015 to 2017.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
Under Section 215, the NSA and FBI have been able to use the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) to compel the nation's phone carriers and businesses like Google, Yahoo!, Facebook, Microsoft (Hotmail, etc.), Apple, PalTalk, YouTube, Skype and AOL to turn over the records of millions of Americans, for national security purposes.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
The original version of the USA Freedom Act proposed to limit any government request under Section 215 to the records of foreign powers or agents of foreign powers or specific individuals in close contact with such suspected agents and entities. </div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
The amended act now includes a misleading and ambiguous loophole supported by the nation's intelligence community and the Administration, which permits the government to seek an FISC order requiring telephone and internet companies to provide personal records that match "specific selection terms."</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
Such court orders could lead to private businesses turning over large quantities of phone records from certain area codes, ZIP codes, and regions of the U.S. It could also be interpreted to permit collection from certain electronic devices, email hosts or other internet records that contain "specific" search "terms."</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
Since the original bill's introduction, CAIR strongly supported the act as a means to restoring the privacy rights of all citizens. However, CAIR can no longer support the act as adopted by the House in its watered down state.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1402351766094_6188" style="padding: 0px;">
Looking forward, CAIR urges Congress to adopt comprehensive domestic spying reform measures like the Surveillance State Repeal Act (H.R.2818) introduced by Rep. Rush Holt (D-NJ) which would repeal the USA Freedom Act and FISA Amendments Act of 2008. Repealing these two acts would put an immediate end to bulk collection and require the government to have probable cause before obtaining the records of U.S. persons. </div>

CAIR is America's largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization. Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.</div>

The anti-Muslim ad, which is sponsored by a hate group led by Pamela Geller, falsely claims that the Quran encourages Muslims to hate Jews. Her organization, Stop the Islamization of America (SIOA), is designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). SPLC also named Geller as a member of the "anti-Muslim inner circle."</div>

"Verily, those who have attained to faith [in this divine writ], as well as those who follow the Jewish faith, and the Christians, and the Sabians - all who believe in God and the Last Day and do righteous deeds - shall have their reward with their Sustainer; and no fear need they have, and neither shall they grieve." (2:62)</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
"Say: 'We believe in God, and in that which has been bestowed from on high upon us, and that which has been bestowed upon Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and their descendants, and that which has been vouchsafed to Moses and Jesus; and that which has been vouchsafed to all the [other] prophets by their Sustainer: we make no distinction between any of them. And it is unto Him that we surrender ourselves.'" (2:136)</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
"O humankind! Behold, We have created you all out of a male and a female, and have made you into nations and tribes, so that you might come to know one another. Verily, the noblest of you in the sight of God is the one who is most deeply conscious of Him. Behold, God is all-knowing, all-aware." (49:13)</div>

(<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1400516119773_11838" style="font-weight: 700;">DALLAS, TX, 5/16/14</span>) -- On Saturday, May 17, the North Texas chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-NTX) will join a group of multiracial and interdenominational pastors who will protest the inclusion of anti-Muslim hate groups speaking at a Dallas rally.<br /><br /><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1400516119773_11850" style="font-weight: 700;">WHAT: Faith Leaders to Protest Anti-Muslim Speakers</span><br /><span style="font-weight: 700;">WHEN: </span>Saturday, May 17, 2 p.m.<br /><span style="font-weight: 700;">WHERE:</span> City Hall Plaza in front of Dallas City Hall, 500 Marilla St., Dallas, TX 75201<br /><span style="font-weight: 700;">CONTACT: </span>CAIR-NTX Executive Director Alia Salem, 817-538-8269, asalem@cair.com Reverend Peter Johnson, 214-636-7267</div>

[<span style="font-weight: 700;">NOTE: </span>CAIR-TX said local Muslims sought to join the rally in support of Christian rights, but only if the anti-Muslim speakers were dropped. Rally organizers refused that request.]<br /><br /><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1400516119773_11852" style="font-weight: 700;">Reverend Diane Baker, minister of outreach for the First Community United Church of Christ</span>, said in a statement: "I believe with my heart and faith that hatred cannot win. Only love, peace and justice.

Christians around the world will be safe when Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and others are also protected. I fear that this Dallas rally is a smokescreen for perpetuating a fear and hatred of Islam."<br /><br />Organizers of the rally have invited Robert Spencer, David Gabautz and Walid Shoebat to speak.<br /><br />Spencer is a co-founder of Stop Islamization of America (SIOA), which has been designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Spencer's Jihad Watch blog is also designated as a hate group by the SPLC, which named Spencer as part of the nation's "Anti-Muslim Inner Circle." Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik cited Spencer's blog 162 times in his manifesto. The independent national media watch group Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) identified Spencer as one of "Islamophobia's Dirty Dozen" who systematically "spread fear, bigotry, and misinformation."<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: 700;">Backgrounder: </span><a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001qr4ntrDSNdp52XbXtEIdn9U_8gouT2chq2LA-dhKcxCKm4EGUPnLeBr_2jYcheMS3UwgwSrYkj2PsucG2BHhTZSMBoJDkqhBQCVAxei-6JUcS4M5Kx62NV8pY9Vz5NaIsEj1gUslbrhe62pcn8hUFJ_-Q7k5Byz5bus5VDpnmJ9s-bw-TZJGp1M1EZvzMCwhy1MCSeu1sS6rvkEKngC8I6PJRXjpaA_Evqiowlf7wBMduwjOX8-KCMzfSKWaURUaShrVp7gcw4k2YmFKICqboMGxU_UWEYuZCyKVntRJjNb5pc3rlJVawwGHmY0lJBSm&c=7F74NtsVhM_TJ6KT6OfSx7QSqWIE6tixc3D4NcEUZn5yPQ-iSqpXVg==&ch=28mAI0TbucFus_RpaxJ4m2QsSaqoZOqmlBP7-J0iKXnVnHUdQzOXEQ==" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: #196ad4; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">CAIR Welcomes Catholic Group's Decision to Drop Islamophobic Speaker</a><span style="font-weight: 700;">SEE:</span> <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001qr4ntrDSNdp52XbXtEIdn9U_8gouT2chq2LA-dhKcxCKm4EGUPnLeEAcCN36Zjn3PS3Q1lAaJxEwqbXXEo7zQE093Fdv-t76G8vI9_gM1k6GaVql3-tKpoAkJBswfGI4v80tExxY7R5o3wScm2BEaw9X7hc58GO5cEv3HI5hidiSlvRwVm6a0MS9fzM14z6vYu2vYyYtiVVSCAY3_FjSTQCk-v9Qn4YfqRp1-10Q-B8wZR5nloKlL7WJq9B-oYEXrun6kmVoZZFaejRdM4mGKCpmgbhKX_UxqzhS7I8El_E=&c=7F74NtsVhM_TJ6KT6OfSx7QSqWIE6tixc3D4NcEUZn5yPQ-iSqpXVg==&ch=28mAI0TbucFus_RpaxJ4m2QsSaqoZOqmlBP7-J0iKXnVnHUdQzOXEQ==" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: #196ad4; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">The Radicalization of Anders Breivik</a></div>

Shoebat claims that President Obama is a Muslim. In a YouTube video, Shoebat said, "[I]f Islam is not playing the major role in Antichrist spirit, why do you think the devil wants to appoint somebody connected to Islam in the White House?" He told radio host G. Gordon Liddy, "No one is called Hussein unless he is Muslim. So it is very clear that Barack Hussein Obama is definitely a Muslim."</div>

Horn, who is scheduled to speak about "Bengazi and Islam in America," has called Islam a "cult, nothing more" and said terrorists are "honest" Muslims. He also stated that anyone who believes Muslims are not the "enemy" is "incredibly ignorant or a simple-minded fool." He criticizes Christian leaders for failing to deal with what he calls the "rapacious ideology of Islam."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding: 0px;">
In a twist on old anti-Semitic falsehoods, he claims "the Moslem lobby in the state houses and the White House" can "predetermine votes" and that Muslims "have thousands of bankers and lawyers increasingly in control of our everyday life" and have "infiltrated our government."<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: 700;">Video:</span> <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001nj_J4hy_SdJQ61h5dxECjm9LDogLxR3v8Fu0KOvMB7m_nauX3a-Ph4KxuRwEThGlxg3BSVOmKkIsMXMqJHbwiwBJK4HBqi3qc56eb3wU9JPhe6UjTF1_RDYJl5EE1agjq8zw5ZUBYsSGGR7Y1pgztK6hYB3XUvtUMmG1KBi6x3auIXg4un82Iueq0lUddJN5IL0wCCS2aOs=&c=xqBmir7YMctUUcnEvwQTKQVejSdDARxlRBWZh2QgaitVsyS-ayACJQ==&ch=EU2FrZiOpowXUZPKBY_9GmgR7XU-mG8_ilst0ZQVWfKiWche2Qlx7w==" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: #196ad4; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">GOP Women's Group Promotes Anti-Muslim Hate</a></div>

"We urge Navajo Canyon Republican Women to recognize that they are promoting an individual who is recycling anti-Semitic lies to target American Muslims," said <span style="font-weight: 700;">CAIR-SD Executive Director Hanif Mohebi</span>. "We ask that instead of hate-mongers like James Horn, Republican groups invite speakers who will promote mutual understanding, not religious and ethnic hatred."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding: 0px;">
Earlier this month, CAIR called on the <span style="font-weight: 700;">National Federation of Republican Women</span>(NFRW) to end its support of anti-Muslim organizations and speakers. That call came following a letter it sent to NFRW leaders asking them to institute internal reforms to end the promotion of bigotry and after a number of events sponsored by NFRW affiliates that featured anti-Muslim speakers.</div>

(<span style="font-weight: 700;">CLEVELAND, OH - 4/1/14</span>) -- The Cleveland chapter of the Council on Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Cleveland) today expressed concern about a lecturer in the Arabic language department at Oberlin College, Dr. Samir Amin Abdellatif, who openly promotes anti-Muslim bigotry and crude stereotypes of Muslims in his writings and on campus.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding: 0px;">
CAIR-Cleveland requested that the college "investigate the matter and take appropriate action based on the results of that investigation."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding: 0px;">
Abdellatif is the publisher of a 290-page tract that vilifies Islam and Muslims. His publication, entitled "<a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001g9W1Sl9f48XccPeq7Dd3HyrwNMq4y8lGOQzsuzlQABqrcM7_cc8RM9OTl9B4g4BNfA8-x5Fb2PgaHZv1VkxLPRcxG7pwAiR3A94HbcstcPblSk7NezRhOhDiuPI2OLn7M3sN5aYK5QDM6uWvbj852MFdKIrF4g5j63qjtiecBTy_sqquktyy0x7csxKigm05-M58idxTNt_Rlf2fNVrXzYCd5oVYtb9XpGSI6ACdkdCLSamVZD9LcjRjMtoi1UmTwsWYBS5GmbMTXm4LYckDIEL2f09zxHI_NUQ82XrKq4oYa2x-EZCOZT_JHCG9t6CZL_9Vr4i-zSvz-ezL5Ge1tG3q1M0zV3Whh90MwbbDtp5VurSnirkYZHJXqe0lY9Z3&c=swT6dPefRNZIi0y5TgPYrBtU-2EVtJqo2WOT8S9FR1HYz2SAgZi0TQ==&ch=p3ZZNeHYVH0PZir_yHc88CkcqSlJdX43v_n_7OjrrB6Yc1YEnfDAvw==" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: #196ad4; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">The Unknown History of Islam</a>," espouses outlandish conspiracy theories about the Muslim and promotes xenophobic views about Muslim immigration to the West.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding: 0px;">
In CAIR's letter to <span style="font-weight: 700;">Oberlin College President Martin Krislov</span>, <span style="font-weight: 700;">CAIR-Cleveland Executive Director Julia A. Shearson</span> outlined statements from Abdellatif's tract that characterize Islam as having "slowed down all advancement and progress of all the nations it set foot in."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding: 0px;">
The tract makes other false claims such as:</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px;">
<li>"Muslims would try to force their values and traditions on others callously. They would force their neighbors to cover their heads; otherwise they taunt them for not being modest; Muslim teachers would try to make their Christian students pray according to their Islamic religion."</li>
<li>"Islam is an ideology of control, not for human and brotherly love."</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding: 0px;">
In her letter, Shearson wrote, "We believe the reputation of Oberlin College is tarnished and students are done a disservice by having an Arabic language instructor who openly promotes anti-Muslim bigotry and who condones crude and ugly caricatures of Muslims."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding: 0px;">
CAIR has also learned that Oberlin College is apparently relying on the testimony of Dr. Abdellatif in its current bid to remove Dr. Ali Yedes, a Muslim professor who is chairman of the Arabic language program. Oberlin's move comes on the heels of <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001g9W1Sl9f48XccPeq7Dd3HyrwNMq4y8lGOQzsuzlQABqrcM7_cc8RM9OTl9B4g4BNMv7n7EEVcRru86AC51lBSqGHJDtPyy_ReInAfvT-wIIs4GzEjz08Sys3Ipp4K4SSgFtNeMQsCUyHKFPIeB2LtKwSZZtj98aOaLV2PoVz9zR3s47OJkFek8IcvYbT_53wwhQsUbo3WPT8L1c-SWo8-g==&c=swT6dPefRNZIi0y5TgPYrBtU-2EVtJqo2WOT8S9FR1HYz2SAgZi0TQ==&ch=p3ZZNeHYVH0PZir_yHc88CkcqSlJdX43v_n_7OjrrB6Yc1YEnfDAvw==" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: #196ad4; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">a discrimination case</a>brought against the college by Yedes.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding: 0px;">
In addition to overseeing the Arabic language program, Dr. Yedes serves as the Muslim religious life affiliate and is the advisor for the Muslim Students Association.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding: 0px;">
A long-time professor at Oberlin, Dr. Yedes, who practices a form of Sufism from his native country of Tunisia, is known as a moderate Islamic thinker. He has encouraged programs to increase dialogue on campus, including the promotion of an interfaith center in which the Torah and the Quran are both recited at the Jewish Sabbath services.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding: 0px;">
The Muslim Students Association, with Dr. Yedes as its faculty advisor, has a Hindu member of the Oberlin student body serving as president. Dr. Yedes is known for his promotion of interreligious understanding on campus.</div>

"We are concerned that, given media references to the main character 'surviving life behind the veil,' the pilot and any resulting series may engage in stereotyping that can lead to things like bullying of Muslim students," said <span style="font-weight: 700;">CAIR-LA Executive Director Hussam Ayloush</span>. "We urge ABC Family Channel to meet with representatives of the Muslim and Arab-American communities to discuss this important issue."</div>

Ayloush noted that CAIR has in the past challenged actual and potential anti-Muslim stereotypes in productions such as "Executive Decision," "24," "The Siege," "True Lies," "Rules of Engagement," "Obsession," "The Third Jihad," "Jihad in America," and "The Sum of All Fears."</div>
