People keep asking me to respond to this event in my capacity as an 'American Muslim,' but, in truth, I'm not responding to this event as either an American, or as a Muslim. I’m simply responding to these events as a human being who is mourning a tragic and unnecessary loss of life.
"People keep asking me to respond in my capacity as an American Muslim," said Amara Chaudhry, civil rights director for the Philadelphia chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. "I'm simply responding as a human being who is mourning a tragic and unnecessary loss of life."
Outreach and Communications Director Rugiatu Conteh and Civil Rights Director Amara Chaudhry were on WURD 900 AM, the Nick Taliaferro show, on Tuesday discussing the aftermath of 9/11 in terms of community relations and legal and governmental ramifications while clearing up myths about Muslims and the Islamic faith.
