CAIR-LA: Pastor’s anti-Muslim posts lead to chaplain exit, award reversal – Los Angeles Times
Amr Shabaik, the legal director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ local chapter told TimesOC that anti-Muslim sentiments “especially concerning” when coming from chaplains affiliated with law enforcement agencies.
“Chaplains working alongside public officers should provide spiritual support and guidance rooted in dignity and respect for all people, regardless of faith background,” Shabaik said. “When hate in such a public manner is allowed to go unchecked, it erodes public trust and puts the safety and well-being of all our communities at risk.”
