"Mayor Bloomberg's uncritical support of Israel has undermined the local community's efforts to build bridges of mutual understanding between interfaith groups," said Father Khader N. El-Yateem, pastor of Salam Arabic Lutheran Church.Just what we need. Another task force. Hopefully Bloomberg told them to fuck off.
"The mayor represents all New Yorkers," said Network of Arab-American Professionals of New York's co-founder Sarab Al-Jijakli. "Moving forward, we hope Mayor Bloomberg refrains from making unbalanced foreign policy statements that alienate and marginalize the Muslim and Arab-American communities of this city."
Other groups participating in the meeting included the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), the Arab Muslim American Federation, the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), and the Association of Muslim American Lawyers.
The groups called for the establishment of a task force that would provide consultation on issues affecting the New York Muslim and Arab-American communities.
