Title A name given to the resource Council on American-Islamic Relations Stories Description An account of the resource The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is a nonprofit, grassroots civil rights and advocacy group. Since its establishment in 1994, CAIR has worked to promote a positive image of Islam and Muslims in America. This small collection represents the memoirs of CAIR members and friends related to the events and aftermath of September 11. CAIR Story CAIR Story: Story I first heard the news at work when a colleague of mine screamed when she heard the news on radio. I was praying it would not be too devastating and that it should not be Muslim terrorists. I was disappointed on both counts. Later that day, my wife and I were at the local supermarket store checking out our stuff when the cashier passed a sly remark at her. She was wearing the Muslim head scarf. He asked me,"is she a terrorist?". I thought he was joking because my wife is short and looks pretty harmless. So I replied,"no, she isn't." I then picked up our carton of ice cream and told him,"look she eats ice cream, she can't be a terrorist". To my disappointment, I found he was serious about his comment and he replied,"I still think she is a terrorist". I wanted to complain to the manager of the store but I didn't. The cashier was a senior citizen. I figured if he hadn't learnt to respect other races and faiths in his 50 or 60 years of life, he is not going to learn today. He did manage to hurt our feelings.
