CAIR has applauded a Supreme Court action this week that left intact a lower court ruling supporting the right of Muslim police officers to wear beards. The officers, Shakoor Mustafa and Faruq Abdul-Aziz, say wearing a beard is a religious requirement. The earlier ruling said the Newark (N.J.) Police Department's no-beard policy was discriminatory because it allowed medical but not religious exemptions. ILLINOIS COLLEGE INSTALLS FOOTBATHS FOR MUSLIMS William Rainey Harper Community College in Palatine, Ill., has installed footbaths for its Muslim students. The footbaths were installed during planned bathroom renovations at the college. In planning the renovations, the college's physical plant director included the low-to-the-ground sinks that can serve as footbaths during the day and which custodians use to dump mop water at night. The footbaths have provoked some criticism from other students who say public funds should not be spent for religious purposes. CAIR-OHIO HELPS WORKERS GAIN PRAYER RIGHTS CAIR-Ohio has intervened on behalf of Muslim workers who sought the right to attend Friday prayers. At first, officials with National Electric in Columbus, Ohio, said no. They said were afraid if workers left, they would not come back. They were also concerned about the precedent such a move might set. The company ultimately allowed the workers to take off an hour and a half each Friday for prayers. VA. JURY AWARDS MUSLIM WOMEN $250,000 A jury Portsmouth, Va., has awarded $125,000 to each of two Muslim women who were arrested at a supermarket while wearing religious veils. CAIR dealt with the case shortly after it occurred in 1996. The women said they were walking towards a store to shop when they were approached by a Portsmouth police officer who told them they couldn't enter the store with a mask on. CAIR S. CALIF. - GOTO.COM WITHDRAWS OFFENSIVE AD A major Internet search site has agreed to withdraw an advertisement that Muslims considered offensive. The move by California-based GoTo.com came at the request of the CAIR's Southern California office. CAIR asked for the withdrawal of the advertisement after receiving a number of calls and e-mail messages from concerned Muslims. Muslim readers saw the ad in several computer-related magazines such as Internet World and Inter@ctive. The ad showed an image of Muslim men performing prayer. Below the picture, the text read: "With our search on your site, you can build a more loyal following...Okay, so they won't worship you, but they'll come back to your site more often." _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
