Law Enforcement Influence Operation
Date: November 19, 2010
Description:
CAIR calls for tough charges on a man who assaulted a construction worker working on a mosque in St. Joseph, Mo.
In a letter to the lead prosecutor, CAIR National Legal Counsel Nadhira Al-Khalili wrote that a hate crime occurs “when a perpetrator targets a victim because of his or her perceived membership in a certain social group, and in this instant, [the victim] was physically and verbally assaulted because of his affiliation with the Islamic center.”
Al-Khalili called for an enhanced hate crime penalty pursuant to Missouri Statute 565.070; subdivisions (1), (3) and (4) of subsection 1 of section 565.090.
