Blow it Out Yer Wazoo CAIR!

No Profiling, Islamic Group Insists
(CNSNews.com) - An Islamic advocacy group says it has received multiple complaints from people who say they were detained for several hours at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York because of the way they look. The New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations plans to hold a news conference on Wednesday, "to express the Muslim community's concerns about allegations that people of Middle Eastern and South Asian heritage have been profiled at the airport," it said in a press release. CAIR-NY wants law enforcement authorities to "partner" with the American Muslim community - to ensure that national security concerns are addressed "in a manner that is consistent with American values of justice and equality." "Racial and religious profiling has not worked in the past and should not be tolerated in the present," said CAIR-NY Civil Rights Coordinator Faiza Ali. Ali also expressed concern about recent remarks in favor of profiling made by U.S. lawmakers.
