(NEW YORK, NY, 11/15/2008) The New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-NY) today welcomed the arrest of two teenagers who allegedly assaulted a Staten Island Muslim of African heritage on Election Night after reportedly shouting Obama.
The two 18-year-olds face assault as a hate crime and weapons charges for allegedly attacking 17-year-old Ali Kamara, whose family moved to New York from Liberia in 2000. Following the attack, CAIR-NY called on the FBI to probe the incident as a possible hate crime.
