Yet another Islamic front group is soliciting complaints from Muslims who claim they’ve been wrongfully detained at airports: NJ Muslim group tracking airport run-ins.
NEWARK, N.J. — A New Jersey Muslim group is launching a nationwide effort to record complaints about Muslims being wrongfully detained or questioned at airports to determine where the worst problem areas are.
The goal is not to file lawsuits, but to get to the source of problems and correct it, said Sohail Mohammed, a lawyer for the American Muslim Union.
The group is sending out forms via e-mail networks and to mosques around the country asking travelers to record as much information as they can about where, when and why they are questioned by authorities.
“It seems like people don’t know whether they are interacting with the INS, the FBI, Homeland Security or whoever - they just know someone stopped them,” he said.
The group has received several complaints from Muslims using airports in New Jersey and New York that they were detained and questioned for hours when attempting to return to the country from abroad.
With the Muslim holy month of Ramadan drawing to an end this weekend, many travelers will want to make a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia, known as the “hajj,” that is required of all Muslims at least once in their lives.
“This is a huge travel time for Muslims and we don’t want them to run into the same problems,” Mohammed said.
Inevitably, Newsday has omitted some important information about the American Muslim Union and their two degrees of separation from Hamas: Dhimmitude in New Jersey: Jewish groups lend legitimacy to radical Muslims.
