The DMV took "prompt and appropriate action" by apologizing to the teenager and offering to retake the picture, said Moein Khawaja, civil rights director for the chapter. "We're not looking for a change in policy," Khawaja said. "For them it was an issue of having their staff trained properly."

"One of the reasons we host our annual banquet is to inform the public on how CAIR works to eliminate bigotry and promote inclusion, equality and mutual understanding," says CAIR Outreach Director Rugiatu Conteh. "We plan to ‘Lead the Change' by example. We at CAIR disseminate authentic information on Muslims and the religion of Islam, and collaborate with many faith-based congregations in the Greater Philadelphia Area."
