CAIR-CHICAGO REP TO JOIN FORUM ON MUSLIM-WEST RELATIONS IN COPENHAGEN, DENMARK
July 3, 2006

Communications Coordinator Sultan Muhammad to join 100 young Muslims from 15 nations

CAIR-Chicago’s Communications Coordinator Sultan Muhammad is scheduled to participate in the second "Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow" forum in Copenhagen, Denmark, July 7 to July 9 alongside 100 young Muslims from 15 nations to discuss what they can do to improve Muslim-West relations. Muhammad says “It is without question humbling to have the opportunity to participate in such a defining event of our time wherein the usual is not suitable.”

Those selected embody a wide spectrum of Muslim representation by: sect, ethnicity, profession, religiosity, and individual politics. The forum hopes to build a constructive movement of young Muslims to reject and marginalize extremism.

Convening the forum are two U.S. organizations dedicated to bridging the divide between Muslims and the West, the Cordoba Initiative (www.cordobainitiative.org) and the American Society for Muslim Advancement (ASMA, www.asmasociety.org), founded by it’s Executive Director Daisy Khan.

Among the participants are prominent Western Muslim scholars such as Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, author of “What’s Right with Islam” and Tariq Ramadan, author of “To be a European Muslim,” acclaimed Turkish cartoonist , Salih Memecan and a showcase of popular Muslim comic, Azhar Usman. CAIR-Chicago’s Sultan Muhammad will participate in a roundtable conference themed “Media and its Portrayal of Islam.”

The MLT (Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow) is an intra-faith conversation among young Muslims on major issues such as integration, identity struggles, Islamic reactions to secularism, gender equality, among other challenging points that breed alienation and extremism.

The conversations to be discussed will aim toward developing strategies that will contribute to the fostering of positive Muslim identities in the West, building of intra community partnerships, and reevaluating Muslim outreach methods. The forum seeks to candidly discuss existing shortcomings, and implement programs that will precipitate much needed change.

The highly anticipated event has garnered impressive coverage by international press such as the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Christian Science Monitor, BBC World Radio, Radio Liberty, and National Public Radio USA., not to mention an equally broad range of support from Islamic organization world wide:

CAIR-CHICAGO MEETS WITH DELEGATION FROM DENMARK
June 27, 2006

A delegation of 8 young leaders from Denmark visited with CAIR-Chicago’s staff and externs on June 27th at CAIR-Chicago’s downtown office.

The delegation came to Chicago through the US State Department’s International Visitors Leadership Program (IVLP). The program is administered by the Meridian International Center in DC and seeks to introduce participants to American community organizations that effectively address local social and educational issues. The program also seeks to establish long-term ties between Danish and American community activists to facilitate an on-going dialogue on grassroots activism, cultural pluralism, and political engagement.

The exchange brought forth a lot of interesting issues as well as striking parallels and juxtapositions between the problems facing Muslim communities in both the US and Denmark. The diversity of the Muslim communities in the US and Denmark, specifically, as well as the diversity of the Muslim world, generally, were examined leaving a room of Danish and American Muslims quite perplexed at the overwhelming generalizations found in today’s media; generalizations falsely representing the views of 1.4 billion Muslims worldwide, as one. Naturally, the Danish Cartoons Controversy and the reactions of Danish Muslims were also discussed, bringing forth diverse perspectives.

“It is important for western Muslim communities in the United States and Europe to share their experiences and learn from each other”, said Dina Rehab, Outreach Coordinator at CAIR-Chicago, “that is why these exchanges are so meaningful”.

CAIR-Chicago would like to thank Ms. Marian Reich, Assistant Director at the International Visitors Center of Chicago (IVCC), for helping coordinate this exchange. Marian echoed the sentiments of the delegation in her email to Dina Rehab minutes after the visit, stating: “we already received glowing feedback from the visitors”. The delegation coined the meeting: “a defining and most inspiring factor of their trip”.

CAIR-Chicago plans to meet with other international delegations this year, including a delegation from Kyrgyzstan and India. CAIR-Chicago met with a delegation from the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) in Southern Philippines on June 8th.

Present in the meeting were all members of the CAIR-Chicago staff, externs Sarah Terman and Azam Khan, as well as the following guests from Denmark:

Ms. Susan Arac
Member, Aarhus City Council

Ms. Viyan Duman
Vice Chairman, Center for Public Administration Policy, Ministry of Finance

SEARS TOWER PLOT:
MUSLIM LEADERS DENOUNCE 7 SUSPECTS

By Margaret Ramirez
Tribune religion reporter


June 24, 2006

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-0606240165jun24,1,2571736.story?coll=chi-news-hed&ctrack=1&cset=true

Muslim leaders on Friday denounced the seven men arrested in Florida as members of a religious cult and implored the media not to refer to them as Muslims.

"The case of this bizarre, cultist group is evidence that the phenomenon of terrorism is not monolithic," said Ahmed Rehab, executive director of the Chicago chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. "They have broken the laws of this country as well as the laws of the religion of Islam. As such, they are to be condemned."

Accounts of the group's behavior suggest their religious practice may have been a strange hybrid.

According to the indictment that accuses the men of plotting to attack the Sears Tower and other buildings, they wanted to organize "an Islamic army" to wage "jihad" in the United States and swore an oath of allegiance to Al Qaeda.

Relatives have told reporters the defendants are deeply religious people who took classes in Islam but also studied the Bible. One cousin told CNN: "The warehouse is the temple where they all go and pray and meditate."

True Muslims revere the Koran as sacred Scripture and worship in mosques, Rehab said. The media may be reluctant to say the individuals are not Muslim because the media might be seen as "watering down the fight against terrorism," Rehab said.

"That should not be the case," he said. "We should step up and fight these individuals without having to pull Islam as a religion, and Muslims as a people, [into] the struggle."


Abdul Malik Mujahid, chair of the Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago, agreed that the descriptions of the group's faith did not sound like Islam.

"They were reading the Bible, not the Koran. They called their place of worship a temple instead of `mosque.' These are not things that Muslims do," said Mujahid. "So associating them with Islam and Muslims, I think, is not only factually wrong, but will continue to contribute to Islamophobia, which is a form of racism."

The idea of the group targeting the Sears Tower is ironic, Mujahid said, as the building was designed by Muslim architect Fazlur Khan.

Mujahid cautioned Chicago-area mosques to be vigilant, saying attacks and hate crimes often follow such reports. Notifications were sent to nearly 130 mosques to be on the lookout for suspicious activities.

"Muslims in America have not created this problem," he said. "The whole society must stand up and fight this together. We have to come together for the safety of us all."

... "The case of this bizarre cultist group is evidence that the phenomenon of terrorism is not monolithic, that it is multifaceted in both the makeup of potential terrorists and the particular context from which they draw inspiration," said Ahmed Rehab, the head of the council.

CAIR-CHICAGO, MUSLIMS, MEET WITH U.S. CUSTOMS & BORDER PROTECTION AT O’HARE AIRPORT
Susan DeConstanza

June 26, 2006

On Wednesday, June 21, CAIR-Chicago’s Executive Director Ahmed Rehab and intern Susan DeCostanza along with other leaders in the Chicago Muslim Community attended a tour of U.S. Customs and Border Protection operations at O’Hare International Airport last week.

The meeting was part of an effort to build relationships between the Muslim community and different government and security organizations that work in the airport in order to proactively facilitate communication, avoid cultural misunderstandings and help to educate travelers about the ways that they can possibly avoid unwanted delays at the airport.

Brian Humphrey, Director of Field Operations, commenced the meeting by introducing the various Customs and Border Protection agents present.

Dr. Hytham Rifai - a well known physician and CAIR-Chicago client - related some personal stories of delays that relatives, friends, and community members have encountered upon re-entering the United States from travel abroad.

Ahmed Rehab outlined the community's purpose behind requesting the meeting and gave a brief synopsis of the number and nature of complaints that Muslims bring to the CAIR-Chicago office.

Sheikh Kifah gave examples of some of the problems his Mosque constituency have suffered.

Humphrey explained that U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents must move through an interactive, online cultural sensitivity course.

Humphrey reiterated that if a traveler encounters any difficulties, the agents must follow protocol, and do not have the authority to deviate from that procedure. If a traveler has questions, or believes they are being mistakenly delayed, the traveler should ask to see a supervisor.

The group walked through Customs and Borders operations beginning at the point of entry for passenger arrival to customs stations, agricultural screening, and the interview rooms. The agents described the "Passenger Lookout Override" system that was implemented two months ago, in which a passenger who has the same or a similar name as a person with a suspicious record can be distinguished from the actual suspected person.

This system is supposed to expedite common delays encountered by travelers within the Muslim and other communities who have common names that are similar to people with an actual or suspected tainted record.

CAIR-Chicago looks forward to continuing the relationship with U.S. Customs and Border Protection offices in the region, and to furthering understanding between the organizations as well as facilitating future communication in order to eliminate problems for Muslim travelers before they even arise.

ADVOCATE FOR MUSLIMS CALLS ACCUSED PLOTTERS A 'CULTIST GROUP'
Associated Press

June 23, 2006

"Ahmed Rehab Says Accused Plotters Have Nothing To Do With Islam"

http://www.wqad.com/Global/story.asp?S=5071556&nav=1sW7

An advocate for better understanding of Muslims and their religion says the men accused of conspiring to blow up the Sears Tower are "a bizarre, cultist group."

Ahmed Rehab is executive director for the Chicago chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. He says the accused plotters have nothing to do with Islam.

Rehab says the vast majority of Muslims are peace-loving people.

He says he believes the U.S. government hasn't made a clear distinction between the accused plotters arrested yesterday and most Muslims.

"I think there has been some reluctance to step up and say that these individuals are indeed non-representative Muslims," Rehab says, "because certain commentators may see that as whitewashing or watering down our fight against terrorism."

Rehab spoke today at a news conference held at his group's downtown Chicago office.

REFLECTIONS OF A CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST
By Christina Abraham

June 19, 2006

The Civil Rights Movement in this country has always been simple. It asks for the equal treatment of everyone living in the United States. But although the goal is simple, the fight for equal rights has not been.

Muslim-Americans recognize that the predicament they are in today is not isolated but lies within a larger context of civil rights struggles in America.

Muslim Americans are not the first group to face widespread prejudice and systemic discrimination. Jewish, Hispanic and Japanese-Americans have had their share of injustices leveled against them. And no other community has come close to the long-standing suffering of the African-American community.

Now, Muslim-Americans are among those at the forefront of the civil rights movement. This movement asks for a society subject to the rigor of law, governed by a system of transparency and accountability wherein the constitution applies to all equally.

In the short time that I have been with CAIR-Chicago as the Civil Rights Coordinator, I have seen many types of egregious violations of civil rights experienced by Muslims.

I have dealt with complaints in which Muslims are verbally harassed in public places, even physically attacked.

I have dealt with complaints in which Muslims have been terrorized by their own government, or ridiculed and degraded by their employers.

I have seen Muslim schoolchildren be subjected to disgusting acts of disrespectful behavior by students, faculty and staff alike.

But I have also seen and experienced the resilience of a remarkable community under fire.

It takes courage to stand up to an unjust employer, a person who holds your livelihood in their hands, and say that you are not going to tolerate the degradation of your belief system.

It takes courage to stand up to hatemonger who violates your person or property by committing a hate crime, and to see through the process until the end so that justice may be allowed to prevail.

And when authority figures can be so intimidating at times, it takes courage to look a law enforcement officer in the eye and assert your rights.

What it really comes down to is basic human dignity.

In bearing witness to the different facets of discrimination against Muslims in this country, we bear witness to the struggle of Muslims in America, and more importantly, to humanity’s perpetual struggle for liberty, justice and equality – three words that have been overused and overlooked simultaneously in this society, so that their meanings have become worn away.

I am honored to introduce a series of reflections by the individuals that make up the Civil Rights Department at CAIR-Chicago.

We have shared in experiencing the hardships of Muslims in this community that have reasserted their dignity, in a time when it seems easy to just surrender their rights and succumb to the forces against them.

Now we share these experiences with you. Stay tuned for more…
