**HIKIND DENOUNCES CAIR FOR COMMENTS ON ATTACK ON MUSLIM MAN IN BROOKLYN**
CAIR SPEAKS FOR TERRORISTS, NOT FOR LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS!! CAIR CALLED THE CONVICTION OF 1993 WORLD TRADE CENTER MASTERMIND SHEIKH OMAR ABDEL RAHMAN AN “INCIDENT OF ANTI-MUSLIM BIAS AND VIOLENCE.”
“CAIR is an organization that has repeatedly presented itself as apologists for terror,” Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) said. “Counter-terrorism experts have declared CAIR’s activities to ‘effectively give aid to international terrorist groups’ and have called it a ‘radical fundamentalist front group for Hamas.’ CAIR has no ties to moderate Muslim groups in the Brooklyn community.”
“We will not tolerate racism, bigotry, or hatred of any kind, targeting members of any ethnic group, race, or religion. We urge witnesses to come forward. The full story has not come out and the investigation must proceed. For CAIR to exploit the attack to advance their own terrorist agenda is a travesty.”
“The Pakistani and Jewish communities in Brooklyn have a wonderful relationship and continue to work together amicably and peaceably. The interests of both communities coincide in this situation.”
