CAIR National
Executive Director Nihad Awad |

Washington:
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) questioned the
silence of public officials and national media about a bomb attack
Monday on a Florida mosque.
CAIR, which on Wednesday offered a $5,000 reward for information
leading to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrator, said media
coverage has for the most part been restricted to Florida and that
there have been no public condemnations of the bombing at the
national level.
On Monday evening, a bomb exploded outside the Islamic Center of
Northeast Florida in Jacksonville. Local, state and national law
enforcement authorities are investigating the attack as a possible
act of domestic terrorism.
"It is disturbing that, outside the state of Florida, our fellow
citizens are largely unaware of the fact that a potentially-deadly
bomb exploded at an American house of worship," said CAIR National
Executive Director Nihad Awad. "One can only imagine the public and
media response if someone with a Muslim name was the perpetrator of
this apparent terror attack."
He congratulated local, state and national law enforcement agencies
for their work on the case, but said he knows of just one national
media outlet — AOL News — that reported on the bombing.
Awad attributed the attack to a "growing atmosphere of anti-Muslim
sentiment" nationwide, and in particular in Florida.
Last week, CAIR called on national Republican leaders to repudiate
Islamophobic campaign advertisements for a Florida GOP congressional
candidate.
Last month, CAIR reported that a Muslim university professor was
appointed to the Jacksonville, Fla., Human Rights Commission despite
a prolonged smear campaign by the anti-Islam hate group ACT! for
America, whose leader says Muslims should not be allowed to hold
public office.
The FBI has been asked to investigate allegations that the same hate
group has been harassing members of Florida's Muslim community.
In Miami, anti-Islam advertisements were initially pulled from buses
because of community concerns. The ads were later re-instated
following threats of legal action by the sponsors, whose leader
Pamela Geller has written on her personal blog that "Hitler and the
Nazis were inspired by Islam" and that "lies and deception [sic] to
advance Islam is a mandate."
CAIR is America's largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy
organization. Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam,
encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American
Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual
understanding.
