“It seemed like a political circus. It seemed like it was for political show and not an honest attempt by Rep. Peter King to address the issue of radicalization,” said CAIR-Chicago Executive Director, Ahmed Rehab, in a press conference responding to the congressional hearings.
“The whole issue of Muslim community, radicalization, Islamaphobia, etc, it is being politicized more and more,” said Ahmed Rehab. “And as we approach the next presidential elections, I fear it may explode just like it did with the last presidential election cycle. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous that this is happening. It’s not good for our nation. It’s not an intelligent way to discuss the issues. It’s insulting.”
CAIR-Chicago and the Muslim Congressional Staffers Association (CMSA) are encouraging Muslim college students to apply for Congressional internships in Washington D.C. This is a great opportunity to learn about the legislative process firsthand and build a lasting relationship with your Congressional Representatives
