(Minneapolis., 8/19/16) - The Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MN) is calling on the FBI to investigate an alleged threat by two men to burn down the house of a Somali-American woman in that state if she and her family do not leave town. The Muslim woman, who moved to Little Falls, Minn., earlier this year, was reportedly confronted at her home by two men who called her a terrorist and said Muslims are not allowed to live in that city.

"We urge the FBI and state law enforcement authorities to investigate this disturbing threat and to ensure the safety of the family targeted by anti-Muslim hate," said CAIR-MN Executive Director Jaylani Hussein. Later today, CAIR-MN will host a news conference in Minneapolis with Muslim and Somali-American leaders to condemn GOP Presidential Nominee Donald Trump's recent Islamophobic and anti-Somali rhetoric. Video: CAIR-MN, Muslim Leaders to Condemn Donald Trump's Islamophobic, Anti-Somali Rhetorichttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rl5J6umSek
