(WASHINGTON, D.C., 2/8/05) - The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today said that the Fox television network aired a disclaimer Monday night during its drama series "24" stating that American Muslims reject terrorism. SEE: http://www.fox.com/24/

Friday morning, on one of Chicago's main talk radio stations - WLS 890 AM (ABC) - CAIR-Chicago’s communications director, Ahmed Rehab, took on Eileen Byrne, a talk show host whose show precedes the Rush Limbaugh show. Eileen and her callers were throwing accusations and condemnations of Muslims - CAIR in particular - in lieu of CAIR's condemnation of General Mathis' "it's fun to kill" quote.

Dear Ms. Burnett, I received yet another call today.

"Are you Yaser Tabbara?"

Here we go again I thought.

I read with great interest your article entitled "How to Deal with American Muslims" (The Jewish Week, 09/10/04). The same points could have been made by an American Muslim asking how we should deal with American Jews. How ironic is it that our differences are so similar. In a way, that comforts me. There is hope.
