Islamic Racial Profiling Examined in San Francisco
Racial profiling against Muslim Americans will be the focus of a study to be conducted by the San Francisco Bay Area chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the organization reported.
The study aims to document and investigate claims from anyone who may have been profiled based on skin color, clothing or religion, and CAIR is looking for anyone who believes they've been profiled to contact the organization.
CAIR hopes the study will help the group advocate on behalf of victims of racial profiling, as well as to compile statistics for an annual civil rights report on racial profiling, according to CAIR-SFBA spokeswoman Abiya Ahmed.
