Islamophobia – Rights and Responsibilities of Muslim Community in America

October 30, 2015 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm

It is undeniable that we are witnessing unprecedented levels of anti-Islam sentiment in the U.S. Imagine stepping out of your house of worship and seeing a group of screaming, belligerent hecklers ripping apart your holy book – spitting on and stomping on the pages.  Imagine being shouted down, and told your faith is a lie by a group of people flashing gaudy, hate-filled signs and matching tee-shirts.  This has become the reality for worshipers at the Islamic Community Center of Tempe and many other Muslim places of worship across America.

Most of the Muslim community in America and specially our community in Cypress is unaware of their legal rights under the constitution of United States Of America. To educate our community of their rights and responsibility, CIC with collaboration of CAIR has arranged a seminar

CAIR - LogoCAIR is America’s largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization. Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogs, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.
CAIR believes Islamophobia in the United States is a current manifestation of the issue of prejudice that has plagued our nation since its earliest days. It is the same old hate, just with a relatively new target. American Muslims , With this in mind, CAIR is dedicated to countering prejudice in general.
