CAIR Seeks 'Swift' FBI Action on Revelations of Anti-Muslim Training

A prominent national Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization today sent a letter to FBI Director Robert Mueller calling for "swift action" to reform the agency's use of anti-Muslim instructors and Islamophobic materials during counterterrorism training.

The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) says that recently-revealed FBI training materials teach counterterrorism agents that mainstream American Muslims are likely to be terrorist sympathizers, that the Prophet Mohammed was a "cult leader," and that Islamic charitable giving is a "funding mechanism for combat."
