They would be worth every bit of our support. This follows my appeal for CAIR membership after the WT hit-piece (WT then also included the smear campaign of the white supremacists organization in their magazine, as Tariq writes below). So, what did CAIR help with:

CAIR HELPS REUNITE VA MUSLIM FAMILY

(HERNDON, VA, 6/15/07) – A 3-year-old Muslim toddler will (inshallah) be reunited with his family after intervention by CAIR’s Maryland and Virginia chapter (CAIR-MD/VA). On Tuesday, June 12, CAIR-MD/VA called on immigration officials to explain why the child of a Virginia father who is a U.S. citizen and a mother who is a permanent resident has been denied entry to this country for two years.

Cute kid. Although the USCIS won’t comment on the cause for the delay, I find CAIR’s explanation of a mix-up in names quite believable. Two years, however, is an unacceptably long time for these matters to get straightened out. I’m surprised the Boujrads didn’t try pushing hard even sooner.

I am not entirely surprised either. My son whose name is Abdullah was (not sure if he still is) on the ‘watch-list’… couldn’t print boarding passes, etc. He garnered this achievement at the tender age of 4. He is known to have great plastic sword-fighting and toy-gun toting skills. Somehow his reputation must have preceded him :)
