American Muslims Should Not Be Targeted Unjustly by Homeland Security Hearings!

As a person of faith and conscience, I call upon the Homeland Security Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives to respect the civil and religious freedoms of Muslim American leaders and national organizations, and to refrain from allowing anti-Muslim witnesses to use committee hearings as a platform to promote their personally biased and derogatory views of the Muslim American community and the religion of Islam.

I believe that legitimate concerns for our collective national security must not be tainted by fear, bigotry, or the unjustified targeting of an entire religious community.
