Security at its highest since 9/11 at Islamic Center : Dayton Daily News

Malik, 72, blamed some of the hatred toward Muslims on “baseless accusations” being made by politicians who say a majority of the violence in the United States is caused by radical Muslims.

“That just stirs up the fear and hatred toward the Muslim community,” he said. “They don’t know them. They only know what they see on TV, or read in the newspapers or blogs. They’re painted a certain stereotype and we need to change the opinion.”

These violent reports are “deeply disturbing” and should be a cause of “great concern” to all Americans regardless of their faith, he said.
