From NEWSWEEK:

"There are many, many other civil-rights issues in the post-9/11 world that are far more important," says Arsalan Iftikhar, of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Refusing a passenger with alcohol is the "moral equivalent of turning away someone eating a ham sandwich," he adds.

Arsalan Iftikhar in ROLLING STONE Magazine ('Casualty of Porn')

December 5, 2005

"Casualty of Porn" (Rolling Stone story about U.S. soldiers trading pictures of Iraqi corpses for access to Internet porn websites)

From Rolling Stone Magazine:

He's not the only one raising this question. When news of the photos first broke, Arsalan Iftikhar of the Council on American-Islamic Relations sent a letter to Donald Rumsfeld demanding an investigation. Iftikhar now believes Wilson's arrest was a "politically motivated" solution. "It wouldn't surprise me," he says, "if the charges were there to deflect from the issue at hand: the violence suffered by the Iraqi people."

Arsalan Iftikhar on CNN on Dutch Quran Controversy

March 27, 2008

From CNN.com:

"This film is a direct attempt to incite violence from Muslims and help fan the flames of Islamophobia," Arsalan Iftikhar, a contributor to Washington-based Islamica Magazine, told CNN on Thursday. "Any reasonable person can see this is meant to spit in the face of Muslims and insult our religion."

However, he called on Muslim leaders to react peacefully: "Calmer heads should prevail."

Iftikhar said he doubted the film would spark the same type of violence that followed the caricature of Mohammed, adding, "We in the global community learned a lot from the Danish cartoon controversy ... I don't think it will be anything remotely like that."
