CAIR-Philadelphia

A Muslim civil liberties and advocacy group raised concerns recently that an anti-Islamic video was part of a Council Rock High School South elective. The video, "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West," was produced by the Clarion Fund Inc. The New York City-based nonprofit organization, founded by Israeli-Canadian film producer Raphael Shore, says its efforts are geared toward informing the public about national security threats.

The Philadelphia chapter of the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR) sponsored the event, which included two copies of the Holy Qu’ran being presented for the research section. Q. Amin Nathari, CAIR-PA executive director, presided over the occasion and Q&A. He spoke to the audience of more than 50 and shared the importance of why it was critical to be proactive to the interested crowd.
