Muslims in US warned of harassment

An Islamic organisation has warned Muslims in the US of harassment in the wake of the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington on Tuesday.

Amid widespread speculation of a Muslim connection to the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, the Council on American-Islamic Relations urged American Muslims to take measures against possible retaliation.

In a statement, the group said it had already received isolated reports of harassment and recommended that Muslims who wear traditional Islamic clothing "consider staying out of public areas for the immediate future."

CAIR said the Muslim-American community should also request additional police patrols in the vicinity of mosques.
