| Council on American Islamic
Relations (CAIR)
The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR)
is a non-profit, grassroots membership organization. We have headquarters
in Washington, D.C., and CAIR chapters across America.
CAIR was established to promote a positive image of Islam and Muslims in
America. We believe misrepresentations of Islam are most often the result
of ignorance on the part of non-Muslims and reluctance on the part of
Muslims to articulate their case.
CAIR is dedicated to presenting an Islamic
perspective on issues of importance to the American public. In offering
that perspective, we seek to empower the Muslim community in America
through political and social activism.
How does CAIR carry out its mission?
Media Relations
We work with media professionals around
America to help shape a positive image of Islam. CAIR activists also
monitor the local, national and international media to challenge negative
stereotypes of Islam and Muslims.
Conferences and Seminars
We organize conferences and seminars for
media professionals, government officials and the academic community.
These events are designed to present otherwise unavailable information
about Islam and Muslims.
Publications
A variety of publications addressing the
needs of Muslims in America are offered to opinion leaders and the public.
We also publish a quarterly newsletter Faith In Action.
CAIR also produces pratical handbooks, such
as "Hajj and Ramadan Publicity Kits," for use by Muslim leaders
and activists.
Action Alerts
CAIR issues action alerts to
local communities as a means of promoting local activitism and generating
a grassroots response on important issues. We believe local response is a
key factor in making our voices heard.
