Muslim civil rights group offers $5,000 reward for information on JCC bomb threats

" “It is the duty of American Muslims to offer support to the Jewish community and any minority group targeted in the recent spike in hate crimes nationwide,” CAIR’s national executive director, Nihad Awad, said in a statement. “We hope this reward will aid in the swift apprehension and prosecution of the perpetrators.”

Awad noted the “tremendous level of support” offered to Muslim Americans by the Jewish community when Muslims have been targeted by hate in recent months."

These dispicable acts may have the perverse effect of bringing the Jewish and Muslim communities in America closer together

The idea that there was ever any acrimony between mainstream Jews and Muslims in America is completely false.
