The GOP and the Sharia Myth
CAIR-Chicago | June 23, 2011
The idea that is being propagated by some conservative political leaders and media outlets is that Sharia is an imminent threat to American society. This is simply not true, and the recent legislative push to ban Sharia from th U.S. is not only a waste of time and taxpayer money, itÕs a fear-mongering movement that only creates divisions between Americans based on ideology.


PRESS RELEASE: King Hearings Generate Pushback on Rep.Õs Anti-Muslim Agenda
CAIR-Chicago | June 16, 2011

WeÕre looking into the matter to see what the proper course of action should be.Ó


Controversy demands discourse, not dismissal: the case with Israel and Palestine
CAIR-Chicago | June 23, 2011
Across city campuses, effective discourse has taken place on socially relevant issues, pulling them out of the Òtaboo drawerÓ and placing them into the limelight. From gender equality to immigration, todayÕs student approach has consistently been ÒletÕs talk about it.Ó And then thereÕs Israel and Palestine.
