"We have addressed the issues related to this unfortunate and unnecessary incident, and have agreed with Senator Boxer that we should all move forward to build a nation in which people of all faiths work together to promote respect and tolerance," a statement from the Council on American-Islamic Relations said in a release after its meeting Jan. 23 with Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.).
CAIR and Boxer would continue to "encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding," it said.
