FBI Investigates Mosque Burning

C.A.I.R. Does CARE
Calls FBI to Investigate Mosque Buring

We are proud of American Muslims who will stand up for Islam and for each other during difficult times. Maashallah, our brothers in Michigan do not hesitate to call upon authorities to investigate the recent fire that damaged a Mosque building in Detroit, Michigan.

It is time to support the organizations and groups who are working for the Muslims in America. If you know something needs to be looked into or someone needs help, call now. Let's all be pro-active.

Here's the story we just received from CAIR in Minnesota.

CAIR Asks FBI to Probe Fire at Building Associated with Mich. Mosque

(SOUTHFIELD, MI, 6/12/12) -- The Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MI) today called on the FBI to investigate a possible bias motive for a fire and hate graffiti targeting a building associated with a Dearborn mosque.

CAIR-MI said obscene graffiti with the word "Arabs" was discovered today along with an apparently intentionally-set fire at the Dearborn Woods Community Center, which is associated with the nearby American Muslim Center.

"If a bias motive is revealed in this case, the FBI should add its resources to those of local law enforcement authorities to help bring the perpetrators to justice," said CAIR-MI Executive Director Dawud Walid, who informed local FBI officials of the incident.

Walid noted that there have been a number of similar incidents targeting mosques nationwide.

CAIR-MI is asking members of the Muslim community to review security procedures using advice contained in its "Muslim Community Safety Kit."

A number of recent reports have documented the growth and promotion of Islamophobia nationwide.
