The global war on terror cannot be won through counterterrorism alone; it also requires convincing the terrorists and their sympathizers that their goals and methods are faulty and failing. But how is this to be done?

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, Inc. filed suit against Andrew Whitehead, one of the founders of Anti-CAIR (or ACAIR), in the Virginia Beach Circuit Court on March 31, 2004.

Having been head of the medical department aboard the USS El Paso in Operation Restore Hope, last week I couldn't help but think back a decade or so about the tragedy of our soldiers who lay prey to the animalistic mobs in Mogadishu.

CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper said Monday from the group’s national headquarters in Washington that CAIR has 25 chapters across North America. And CAIR is celebrating its 10th anniversary as an educational organization devoted to promoting a positive image for American Muslims, he said.

An American missionary proudly watches as a sea of Iraqi arms rise in witness to Jesus Christ and choruses of "Amen" compete with distant rattles of gunfire.

Veiled women are protecting more than their modesty -- they are also less prone to nose and throat cancers because their veils screen out viruses, a Canadian doctor was quoted on Friday as saying.

As a public health educator and a relatively new Muslim, I would like to share a few personal and professional perspectives with the Islamic community regarding my Haj this year.

What would be the best way to convert lots of Americans to Islam?

In the tumultuous months after September 11, the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations received a consistent message.
