Message From Community Liaison
at FBI Cincinnati
|
|
|
Our office and the Cincinnati Police Department hosted a press conference to seek the public's assistance with information about a suspected hate crime in our area. As you are well aware, hate crimes are not only an attack on the victim, they are meant to threaten and intimidate an entire community. Because of their wide-ranging impact, investigating hate crimes is a high priority for the FBI and our partners.
We would appreciate you sharing this information with your community groups so we can raise awareness and gather the information necessary to locate and prosecute the subject(s) involved. Linked below are more specific details about the incident, including a seeking information poster and a video about the crime.

Islamic Center In the News

This has been a busy week for Communications in light of the tragic loss of innocent life in New York City. ICGC was approached by several local and national news outlets for comments.
ICGC condemned all forms of violence, regardless of the race, religion or political ideology of the perpetrator or the victims. To date, we have received largely balanced and nuanced coverage of the NYC violence in the local Cincinnati press. This is meaningful progress and needs our continued investment in relationships with local influencers.
Looking ahead, the Communications Team @ ICGC is seeking bright, young, passionate members of the community to reach out and volunteer as External & Internal Communications Leaders. You don't need to be a Communications Expert; we'll train you. All you need is energy and a commitment to build a better image of Muslims in Cincinnati.
Please reach out to Shakila, Tammam or myself if you're interested in helping give the Muslim community a bigger voice in Cincinnati.
