Kesher Talk

Wuddn't me: Muslims of the Americas has called a news conference to deny allegations that they are linked to terrorist organizations. A statement from the group says, "The national organization of the Muslims of the Americas ... is again being harassed and smeared by government officials and the media. We have spent years separating ourselves from the false allegations of those who have used their resources and positions to propagate unfounded charges against the Muslim community. Now links are being alleged to the criminal Taliban. This is unfair, unjust and untrue. We have committed no crimes for which we must defend ourselves, however, it is important to us that Muslims and our religion do not lose the headway that has been accomplished in this country during the past two decades."
