The recent release of anti-Islam movie “Innocence of Muslims” and anti-Muslim advertisements in New York City’s subway system have caused rage among Muslims in the Middle East. The Chronicle interviewed local Muslims at the Downtown Islamic Center and CAIR (Council on American-Islam Relations) Chicago and asked for their reactions to it.

CAIR-Chicago would like to thank and congratulate its summer 2012 interns for being a spirited, dedicated, and driven team of budding professional activists.

CAIR-Chicago’s media department gave over 20 interviews on 16 different media venues calling out Congressman Joe Walsh’s bigoted comments on Islam and Muslims. The following digest includes a selection of these interviews.

On their day of orientation, we asked our Summer Interns what brought them to CAIR-Chicago and what they’re looking forward to during their internship.
