Parents of the missing young people and local Muslim leaders recently informed CAIR of the disappearances. CAIR immediately informed the FBI and, along with the families and Muslim community leaders, has been working to assist the agency as the investigation moved forward. The families were also assisted in obtaining legal representation to make sure their constitutional rights were protected.
At a recent news conference, CAIR officials and other Muslim leaders outlined the sequence of events in the case, urging anyone aware of the missing group's activities to come forward and warn against the dangers of adopting or promoting extremist religious views.
