CAIR is calling on Muslims nationwide to contact their elected representatives today and tomorrow to ask that they support this legislation and to protest the apparent political and religious bias of several hearing panelists. Infamous Muslim-basher Steven Emerson has been invited to speak at the hearing. Emerson and his allies can and will use hostile comments to tarnish the image of the American Muslim community and of Islam.
Calls are most effective, followed by faxes and e-mail messages.
Since this is a national issue, anyone may call the representatives. DC-Area Muslims are encouraged to attend. It takes place at 10 a.m. Ask for the representative or the person who is handling H.R. 2121, the Secret Evidence Repeal Act. Almost all of the individuals held based on secret evidence are Muslims and Arabs.
