HADITH OF THE DAY: MONASTERIES, CHURCHES, SYNAGOGUES, AND MOSQUES - TOP

"Had not God repelled some people by the might of others, the monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which God's praise is celebrated daily, would have been utterly demolished. God will certainly help those who help His cause. . .These are the people who, if We establish them in the land, will remain constant in prayer and give in charity, enjoin justice and forbid evil."

The Holy Quran, 22:40-41

CAIR-ORLANDO: FL OFFICIAL 'REGRETS' MOSQUE COMMENTS - TOP
City commissioner will take part in Muslim town hall meeting

(ORLANDO, FL, 8/24/07) - The Orlando chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Orlando) today thanked a local official who expressed regret for recent comments about U.S. mosques that some Muslims found offensive.

At a recent City of Sanford planning meeting, Commissioner Randy Jones said: "I mean it might be un-politically correct, but I don't care. . .The fact of the matter is, I don't think you will get a lot of takers on residential [development] next to a mosque just because of what's going on worldwide."

In response to Jones' statement, CAIR-Orlando sent a letter to the commissioner stating in part:

". . .because your comments were made in an official capacity, it may sanction the view that Muslims should be isolated from community life based on tragic conflicts happening overseas. . .Let us work toward mutual understanding and a solution to the misconception you raised, that tragic conflicts which occur overseas must negatively impact an otherwise positive and productive relationship at home."

Yesterday, Commissioner Jones called CAIR-Orlando and expressed regret for the comments and stated that he wanted to assure the Muslim community that city planning decisions would not be influenced by events overseas. He also agreed to take part in a town hall meeting with local Muslims, at which he would offer advice on political empowerment and involvement.

Jones told CAIR-Orlando that many members of the Sanford Muslim community contacted him to express their concerns about his remarks.

"We thank Commissioner Jones for addressing this misunderstanding in a forthright and productive manner," said CAIR-Orlando Executive Director Danette Zaghari-Mask.

CAIR, America's largest Muslim civil liberties group, has 33 offices and chapters nationwide and in Canada. Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, protect civil liberties, and empower American Muslims.

CAIR-CHICAGO: SWIFT OFFERS PRAYER SOLUTION TO MUSLIMS - TOP
Oskar Garcia, Associated Press, 8/23/07
http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2007/08/23/ap4050229.html

Meatpacking plant officials accused of discriminating against dozens of Somali Muslim workers have offered to tweak break times to help accommodate the workers' prayer demands.

If the dozens of Muslim workers and Swift & Co. can agree on details, a resolution could defuse the dispute that started earlier this year when 120 workers at the Grand Island plant abruptly quit because they weren't allowed to pray at sunset.

Many say they were fired, quit or were verbally and physically harassed over the issue, and some have complained to the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission about the way they were treated.

In a letter to lawyers representing the workers, Swift said it could eliminate some break-time conflicts, and offered to negotiate more scheduling flexibility with the union to allow more prayer time if the workers agreed to the proposal.

Advocates for the workers said Thursday that they were encouraged by the proposal, but that they would not accept a proposal that failed to accommodate the prayers for the whole year.

"We'll continue negotiations with the company and hopefully we'll come out with a solution that everybody can deal with," said Rima Kapitan, a lawyer for the Council on American-Islamic Relations who is representing the workers in the dispute.

The five to 10-minute prayer, known as the maghrib, must be done within a 45-minute window around sunset, according to Muslim rules.

Tensions at the plant flared in May when 120 Somali workers abruptly quit over the issue. About 70 returned a week later, but the prayer dispute resurfaced through the late spring as sunset came later in the evening shift.

Swift spokesman Dan Schult said Thursday the negotiations were ongoing and declined to comment further.

But a lawyer for Swift said in a letter it would be possible to make prayer accommodations for most of the year. The Council on American-Islamic Relations provided a copy of the letter to The Associated Press. (MORE)

CAIR-FL: TV STATION PULLS PLUG ON KELLER - TOP
The televangelist says complaints from local Muslims are to blame.
Sherri Day, St. Petersburg Times, 8/24/07
http://www.sptimes.com/2007/08/24/Southpinellas/TV_station_pulls_plug.shtml

For the first time in nearly five years, controversial Christian televangelist Bill Keller is going off the air.

Keller - known for his vitriolic criticism of religious, political and pop culture figures - said Thursday his program was yanked in response to pressure from local Muslims.

Earlier this month, officials from the Council on American Islamic Relations wrote to executives at CBS asking them to investigate Live Prayer with Bill Keller, an hourlong nightly program.

In a May 2 broadcast, the televangelist said Islam was a "1,400-year-old lie from the pits of hell" and called the Prophet Mohammed a "murdering pedophile." He also called the Koran a "book of fables and a book of lies."

CAIR officials asked for equal air time for Florida Muslims to counter Keller's assertions. The show, which aired nightly from 1to 2 a.m., is broadcast on WTOG-TV CH. 44, a CBS-owned station that airs the CW network locally.

"I'm saying nothing now that I haven't been saying for five years," said Keller, who plans to hold his last broadcast on Aug. 31. "Ultimately, it was pressure by CAIR that intimidated these people into taking me off the air. It was not mutually agreeable. They told me they were taking me off the air, period."

But WTOG station manager Laura Caruso said the decision to end Keller's contract was a programming one, made by station executives and the televangelist.

"It really doesn't have anything to do with any special interest groups or anybody in the community," Caruso said. "I think he has a good program, and I wish him all the success in the world."

CAIR claims credit

After speaking with CBS executives, CAIR claims credit for Keller's demise on WTOG. His contract, set to end in December, will terminate on Sept. 11.

"They really based their decision upon our letter," said Ramzy Kilic, CAIR's civil rights coordinator. "They really did not know that Bill Keller was involved with this kind of anti-Muslim rhetoric."

Acting on complaints from bay area Muslims, CAIR officials began monitoring Keller's programs in May. (MORE)

A Christian televangelist who harshly criticizes Islam and other religions said Friday that his late-night program is being pulled off the air because of pressure from a Muslim group.

Earlier this month, officials from the Council on American Islamic Relations wrote a letter to the TV station's owners asking for an investigation of the show it broadcasts, "Live Prayer with Bill Keller."

Council officials asked for equal air time for Florida Muslims to counter Keller's comments, but never got the chance.

The hourlong show, which airs nightly at 1 a.m., is broadcast on WTOG-TV, a CBS-owned station that airs the CW network locally. WTOG station manager Laura Caruso said the decision to end Keller's contract was a programming one, made by station executives and the televangelist.

CAIR: 78 U.S. RESIDENTS EVACUATED FROM GAZA - TOP
Brian Blackwell, Washington Times, 8/24/07
http://washingtontimes.com/article/20070824/FOREIGN/108240053/1003

Seventy-eight American citizens and permanent residents were evacuated yesterday from the Gaza Strip, ending more than two months of unsuccessful attempts to leave the region, according to the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Eman Bahour of Tennessee and her three children were among those to leave yesterday.

As reported in The Washington Times Aug. 9, they had been stranded in the region since Hamas took over in June, while her husband, Hossam Bahour, remained in Tennessee.

After visiting relatives, they planned to return in mid-July, with the children scheduled to resume school this month.

But when the Gaza-Israeli border closed in June after Hamas seized control of the region, Mrs. Bahour and her children were unable to leave.

From his home in Tennessee, Mr. Bahour said yesterday he is thankful that his family has been released, but he has concerns about them - particularly his son, Mohammed, who has been placed in an Israeli hospital because of a severe stomach virus.

"I have been unable to communicate with him lately by phone, and my kids have missed two weeks of school, so it's been pretty hard for me," Mr. Bahour said.

Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR spokesman, said his organization had been working with the U.S. State Department since June to secure their exit. (MORE)

CAIR-AZ: FAMILY TRAPPED IN GAZA REUNITED - TOP

A Chandler mother and her four children have been allowed to leave the Gaza Strip after being trapped in the strife-torn region for two months.

They were met in Jordan by husband and father Mohamed Hegazy, who escaped from Gaza in June and had been anxiously trying to get his family out ever since.

After a push from the U.S. Department of State as well as the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Hegazy family was evacuated by bus to Jordan.

"It was a hectic experience," Hegazy said from Jordan after spending time with his family. "They are very happy to be out of there."

The Hegazys went to Gaza to visit family members. The family had been postponing the trip because of the danger. Finally in June, they decided to make the trip.

Shortly after they arrived, radical Palestinian faction Hamas seized control of the region from the Fatah party.

Gaza became a war zone, said Mohammed Abuhannoud, civil-rights director for the council.

"A lot of hostile and unfortunate accidents and incidents happened last June, and no borders were open - not to Egypt, not to Jordan, not to Israel," Abuhannoud said

As soon as Hegazy realized that his family was in danger, he signed them up for evacuation through the Israeli consulate.

When the time came to get out, authorities told Hegazy that he alone could evacuate. Hegazy decided to leave his family in Gaza and return to provide financial support for them. (MORE)

CAIR-NY SPONSORS RALLY TO SUPPORT ARAB SCHOOL PRINCIPAL - TOP
Dana Rubinstein, Brooklyn Paper, 8/25/07
http://www.brooklynpaper.com/stories/30/33/30_33standingfirm.html

A diverse group that included Arab-American activists and Jewish educators rallied on the steps of the Department of Education on Monday to demand the reinstatement of Debbie Almontaser to the helm of the city's first Arabic language and culture academy.

The rally came less than two weeks after Almontaser resigned amid an uproar over her defense of a T-shirt bearing the slogan "Intifada NYC," and a Jewish, non-Arabic-speaking educator was appointed in her place to run the school, which is slated to begin its first school year next month in a Dean Street middle- and high-school building.

Almontaser, the founder of the Khalil Gibran International Academy, had been quoted in the New York Post earlier this month defending the T-shirt on the grounds that the word "intifada" literally translates as "shaking off."

"Debbie should lead this school because she founded it, and it's her vision," said Mona Eldahry, founding director of Arab Women Active in the Arts and Media (AWAAM), the organization that sells the "Intifada NYC" T-shirts and shares an office with another organization associated with Almontaser. Eldahry was one of the organizers of the rally, which drew close to 200 people.

"Debbie attempted to educate the public about the word 'intifada' [by using] a definition you'll find in any dictionary."

Almontaser later condemned the use of "intifada" on the T-shirts, but the damage was done. Her initial comments sparked a furor that culminated in a public scolding from teacher's union head Randi Weingarten and Almontaser's resignation on Aug. 10.

The Department of Education then filled Almontaser's post with Danielle Salzberg, a Jewish educator who speaks no Arabic and has no apparent knowledge of Arab culture. Former mayor Ed Koch called the move "spitting in their eye."

Aliya Latif, a spokeswoman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations-NY, which sponsored Monday's rally, agreed with Koch's pithy assessment. "A dual-language program requires a principal who is well versed in the Arabic language and culture," Latif told The Brooklyn Paper.

At Monday's rally, dozens of organizations supported Almontaser, including the Brooklyn-based Make the Road by Walking. (MORE)

CAIR-NY: MUSLIMS SAY POLICE REPORT TARGETS THEIR COMMUNITY - TOP

limusl245343807aug24,0,4019249.story

A contingent of Long Island religious leaders and the Nassau branch of the American Civil Liberties Union yesterday decried a New York City Police Department report on religious radicalism, saying the document unfairly targets the Muslim community.

Habeeb Ahmed, Islamic Center of Long Island president, called for the police department to prevent terrorism without "trampling" the civil rights of minorities through racial profiling and surveillance. He is worried that Long Island residents traveling between Nassau and New York City could be singled out by the NYPD for racial profiling.

"Not all Muslims are potential terrorists," he said at a news conference held by the Interfaith Alliance of Long Island at the State Supreme Court building in Garden City. "There are no easy solutions, but stereotyping American Muslims is not one of them."

The department's 90-page report, released last week, examines how "unremarkable" young Muslim men - who are under the age of 35, high school- or college-educated and have no criminal record - can morph into "homegrown jihadists."

"The vast majority of American Muslims reject al-Qaida's violent extremism, although younger Muslims are more accepting of violence in the defense of Islam," the report states.

Ahmed faulted the report for relying heavily on news reports and not on the research of psychologists and sociologists. He said the report does not analyze terrorist acts carried out by non-Muslim groups, such as how Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols orchestrated the Oklahoma City bombing.

"There is terrorism in other segments of the population. There is no mention of that," he said. "That is problematic. How is this 100 percent a Muslim problem?"

The report encourages officers to eschew traditional tactics of identifying criminal activity and instead focus on appearance, said Tara Keenan-Thomson, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union's Nassau Chapter.

"[The report] lays the foundation for the blanket surveillance of the entire Muslim population," she said. "That's not only wrong, it's unconstitutional."

On Wednesday, the leaders of seven of Nassau's nine mosques met with Nassau Police Commissioner Lawrence Mulvey, who allayed concerns stemming from the report, Ahmed said.

"The commissioner assured us racial profiling has no place in Nassau County," Ahmed said

The New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations has also criticized the report. "The sweeping generalizations in the study reinforce negative stereotypes and unwarranted suspicions about the Muslim community. The report serves to further marginalize the community by labeling almost every American Muslim as a potential threat," according to a statement released yesterday. (MORE)

CAIR-CAN: RESPONSE TO NYPD TERROR REPORT EDITORIAL - TOP
Sameer Zuberi, National Post, 8/24/07

Re: Why They Blow Up, Editorial, Aug. 17.

Your recent editorial on the New York Police Department's report on terrorism attempts to rebuke the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) for criticizing parts of the report, and unfairly characterizes such groups as "facilitating terror."

In an interview with The New York Times, CAIR merely pointed out that the NYPD report reflects simplistic and erroneous thinking, as if Muslims observing basic religious principles like abstention from alcohol and gambling constitutes signs of radicalism. Far from taking a knee-jerk approach to such issues, mainstream Muslim organizations welcome useful studies and reports on terrorism from law enforcement and intelligence agencies. We only expect the analysis to be rooted in reality, rather than generalizations.

CAIR-CA: OPEN MOSQUE DAY A CHANCE FOR HARMONY - TOP
Mona Shadia, San Bernardino County Sun, 8/23/07

"This is not about a religious debate, nor about a religion conversion, it's about mutual understanding."

That's what Hussam Ayloush, executive director of the Southern California chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations said about Open Mosque day.

The Islamic Center of Redlands is celebrating the day Sunday afternoon.

Open Mosque is a day dedicated to opening mosques around Southern California to community members who are not familiar with Muslims or Islam to learn about the culture and the religion. The main focus is to dispel misconceptions about Islam, Ayloush said.

The event is organized by the Southern California Islamic Shura Council, an organization that serves as an umbrella to many Southern California Islamic centers.

Mohammad Hossain, director and founder of the Islamic Center of Redlands, said this is an opportunity for many people from Redlands and the surrounding community to ask questions about Islam.

"Many people don't know about Islam," he said. "It's kind of a visual orientation to non-Muslims, so they can get an idea about the Muslims."

For years, CAIR encouraged the Muslim community to open up their doors to allow non-Muslims a chance to get answers about Islam, Ayloush said.

"Islam is misunderstood by a large segment of the American population, and as Americans, we owe it to our neighbors to do our part in promoting activities that will create dialogue, promote understanding and encourage friendship in our own communities," he said. "And this is why an open mosque is a step in that direction.

The day became critical after 9/11, Ayloush said. (MORE)

VA: RESTON EVENT SHOWS CLOUT OF N.VA. MUSLIM VOTERS - TOP

More than 50 candidates in this fall's elections are expected to appear in Reston tomorrow at a political picnic organized by a group of Northern Virginia mosques, and organizers say the heavy turnout underscores the growing influence of Muslim voters in local politics.

The event, the group's seventh annual "family and civic picnic," has a dual purpose, organizers say. Through a voter registration drive, they hope to persuade more Muslims to become involved in local elections. In addition, they hope to show the candidates that "we're here, we care, and we do vote," said Shirin Elkoshairi, a spokesman for the Sterling-based All Dulles Area Muslim Society, which has more than 5,000 members.

"[The turnout] definitely shows that candidates feel that Muslims are voting and are a force at the polls," Elkoshairi said.

There are about 64,000 Muslims registered to vote in Virginia, with the vast majority of them in the outskirts of Washington, said Mukit Hossain, president of the Virginia Muslim Political Action Committee, which tracks trends and endorses candidates in many local elections. (MORE)

SO, IS REAL DEBATE OVER ISRAEL POSSIBLE ON THE HILL? - TOP
Hilary Leila Krieger, Jerusalem Post, 8/24/07

JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

After several events were called off where Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer were due to discuss their upcoming book, The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy, their backers said this week the cancellations were proof of their contention that American policy toward Israel can't be discussed openly.

They claim that the views expressed in the book - an expansion of the professors' 2006 paper accusing Jewish groups, neoconservatives and Evangelicals of hijacking American policy for the good of Israel and to the detriment of the US - are being stifled, as criticism of Israel routinely is in America.

It is an allegation that rings hollow to many in the Jewish community, who point to newspaper opinion pages and American campuses filled with viewpoints hostile to Israel.

But when it comes to Capitol Hill, the focus of many of the Jewish and pro-Israel groups named by Walt and Mearsheimer, even some of those organizations say that it's very rare to hear criticism of Israel or of US policy toward it.

While a few of these groups object to a climate they describe as shutting down debate that would actually be good for Israel, others argue that the limited criticism merely highlights the many reasons for the strong US-Israel relationship and itself rebuts the professors' scurrilous charges.

"There is no debate," said M.J. Rosenberg, director of the Washington office of the Israel Policy Forum, a left-wing organization that pushes for peace negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians. Then he corrected himself, saying, "The debate is like this: 'I like Israel.' 'Well, I like Israel more.' The next one gets up and says, 'I don't like the Palestinians.' And the next one, 'I don't like the Palestinians more.'"

Rosenberg said there was no other topic on Capitol Hill, a place where contentious issues such as Iraq and gun control are regularly thrashed out, for which words are chosen so carefully.

"Members of Congress are so careful about what they say so as not to anger various pro-Israel organizations," said Rosenberg, who added that he had not read the Walt-Mearsheimer book, due out September 4.

A long-time congressional staffer, Rosenberg said Congressmen who didn't express support for Israel, mostly in the form of votes against nonbinding resolutions, would be faced with a deluge of lobbyists.

"It is easier to debate the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the Knesset than in the Congress," said another longtime observer of Capitol Hill, who spoke on condition of anonymity. (MORE)

WA: FEDS APOLOGIZE FOR IRAQI REFUGEE'S DETENTION - TOP
David Bowermaster, Seattle Times, 8/24/07
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2003851019_aclu24m.html

Kent resident Abdul Habeeb, right, shown Thursday with his ACLU attorney, Jesse Wing, was arrested at a Montana railroad station in 2003.

An Iraqi refugee living in Kent has received a written apology and $250,000 from the U.S. government after federal border and customs agents illegally jailed him in 2003.

Yet Abdul Habeeb and his attorneys from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) remain fiercely at odds with the government over whether Habeeb was a victim of racial profiling when he was improperly arrested in Havre, Mont., in April 2003.

Jesse Wing, board president of the ACLU of Washington, said in a news release: "The settlement is a strong reminder that the government must not engage in ethnic profiling."

Jeffrey Sullivan, the U.S. attorney for the Western District of Washington, countered that the ACLU mischaracterized Habeeb's case.

"This settlement has nothing to do with racial profiling," Sullivan said. "I believe the officers had a good reason to contact Mr. Habeeb beyond how he looked."

Sullivan said federal agents acted in good faith, but incorrectly, when they concluded that Habeeb had violated immigration laws.

The issue is an extremely sensitive one in the Puget Sound area at the moment.

Muslim- and Arab-American leaders have expressed outrage that the FBI this week released photos of two men, who appear to be of Middle Eastern descent, who the agency claimed were acting suspiciously around Washington state ferries. The FBI hopes to identify the two men by publicizing their photos.

Some have accused the FBI of racial profiling by releasing the photos. (MORE)
