CAIR-OK: Attorney General Gentner Drummond calls for removal of all Oklahoma Afghan refugees – KGOU
Veronica Laizure-Henry, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Oklahoma, said Drummond’s comments were met with frustration, fear and disappointment from the resettled Afghan population. Deportation, she said, would result in torture and death.
Laizure-Henry also said the latest release from Drummond is a petition to hold all Muslims accountable for the actions of a select few.
“In Oklahoma, we’re very familiar with the danger of domestic terror attacks,” she said. “And yet, we don’t assume that everyone who looks like Timothy McVeigh holds his same views or would commit the same actions that he did.”
