Description:<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to CAIR’s 8\/30 American Muslim News Brief, the organization filed a federal discrimination lawsuit against the Illinois State Police (ISP) on behalf of Kifah Mustapha, a “leading Muslim religious leader” (Imam) and\u00a0 based in Chicago. Kifah Mustapha was recently hired by the ISP. After a report was released accusing him of having held leadership positions in radical Islamic organizations, the ISP revoked its decision to hire the man.<\/p>\n

CAIR responded that: “Imam Kifah is an upstanding citizen who has served this country and his community time and again,” said Christina Abraham, CAIR-Chicago’s civil rights director. “It is time to put an end to the fear-mongering and anti-Muslim rhetoric that has senselessly engulfed our nation.”<\/p>\n

“The ISP’s actions here are reminiscent of Red Scare in the 1950s, when our nation smeared individuals based on suspicion and paranoia rather than evidence of wrong doing,” said CAIR-Chicago Staff Attorney, Kevin Vodak. “The McCarthy era taught us that our government cannot engage in guilt by association.”<\/p>\n

Kifah Mustapha is a “known Hamas operative and unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism financing trial in U.S. history.”<\/a><\/p>\n
