THANK PASCRELL FOR PRINCIPLED STAND

Princeton, New Jersey (3/16/2007)— The New Jersey chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-NJ) today urged American Muslims and other persons of conscience to voice appreciation to Congressman Pascrell (D-Paterson) for standing up to those who seek to exclude American Muslims from the political process.

Congressman Pascrell recently reserved a room on Capitol Hill for a CAIR sponsored panel discussion on “Global Attitudes on Islam-West Relations: US Policy Implications”. Pascrell came under fire from groups who want to stifle America Muslim political participation.

While some sought to use smears and Islamophobia to silence the American Muslim perspective, an aide to Representative Pascrell stated the following: "It is important that Muslim-Americans feel they are part of our country.”

“Religious and ethnic minorities have a friend in Congressman Pascrell. It is important that we show him we appreciate that fact,” said CAIR-NJ Communications Director Afsheen Shamsi.
