The Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR) has recently launched their new website. In addition to a new design, more functionality has been added. The site includes online membership registration with access to the following members-only features:

• Free downloads of select CAIR publications
• Daily or weekly subscription to CAIR’s informative and empowering e-mails
• 10% discounts on select CAIR events and publications
• CAIR’s “Know Your Rights Pocket Guide”
• Automatic online membership renewal

For the general user, the site offers access to action alerts, press releases and plenty of multimedia clips. Utilizing the importance of Muslim blogging, several top level CAIR personnel maintain a blog. Here is a list of blogs we found:

• Edgar Hopida Blog
• Ahmed Bedier Blog
• Dawud Walid Blog
• Parvez Ahmed Blog
• Nihad Awad Blog
• Hussam Ayloush Blog
• Iftekhar Hussain Blog

As for our involvement, we helped with the design…indirectly. Three IslamCrunch team members were invited for a publicity campaign photo-shoot. Some of the photos were used in CAIR’s new promotional brochure, on the website and at their ISNA Convention booth. We have provided a guide below to help you find some familiar IslamCrunch faces. We would like to thank Shafath Syed, president of the Bay Area CAIR executive committee who invited us to attend this prestigious opportunity.
