• MUSLIM CHILD BEATEN IN PENNSYLVANIA

Authorities urged to treat incident as hate crime
(WASHINGTON, D.C., 5/22/03) - The Council on American-Islamic Relations(CAIR) today called on local and federal authorities to treat the beating of an 8-year-old Muslim child in Bensalem, Penn., as a hate crime. The Washington-based Islamic civil rights and advocacy group says the child was allegedly beaten earlier this month by three 13-year-old boys who made remarks such as "go back to Iraq" and "Saddam Hussein helper" during the
attack. According to the Muslim boy's family, he came home with a bloody mouth and spent one night in the hospital for observation. He is now terrified to go outside and cannot sleep at night. The alleged attackers, whose names are apparently known to police, have not been taken into custody. "A disturbing pattern seems to be developing in which ordinary American
Muslims, Arab-Americans and those perceived to be Middle Eastern, are subject to attack merely because of their religion, ethnicity or distinctive attire," said CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad. "Law enforcement authorities at both the local and national levels can help discourage these types of assaults by treating them with the seriousness they deserve." In a similar incident on Monday in Pennsylvania, a 14-year-old Iraqi-American girl says she was beaten by a classmate while a crowd of
students stood by yelling anti-Muslim comments. The victim
said her attackers shouted "kill the Muslim girl.that's what she  deserves" during the assault. Also this week, a Sikh man who may have been mistaken for an Arab, was shotin Phoenix, Ariz. The victim said he heard his attacker shout "go back to
where you belong," just before being shot. Police are treating the incident as a hate crime. CAIR is encouraging victims of hate crimes to fill out report forms, which are available for download at: http://www.cair-net.org/ireport/Incident_Report.doc, or by
calling 202-488-8787. CAIR, America's largest Islamic civil
liberties group, is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and has 16 regional offices nationwide and in Canada. Since its founding in 1994, CAIR has defended the civil and religious rights of all Americans.

Date: May 21, 2003
Social services to needy families and children should be provided in an equitable and just manner.  Unfortunately our nation's safety net is broken and lacking basic constitutional protections necessary to ensure fairness in the administration of vital programs for the poor.  Caseworkers of the federal welfare program have, for example, repeatedly shown bias based on the recipient's race and gender.  Furthermore, the program does not prevent religious discrimination and proselytization with federal funds. The House of Representatives has passed legislation that would actually hurt the federal welfare program instead of fixing these serious flaws.  It is critical that the Senate addresses these concerns and uphold civil rights.
