America’s OIC envoy a surprise for Muslims
WASHINGTON: There are signs of unease in the American Muslim community after the appointment of Sada Cumber as the presidential envoy to the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC). Cumbar, a Texas businessman, is an Aga Khani Ismaili and not a mainstream Muslim. Before his surprise appointment, he was an unknown even to Muslims of his area. One community leader, who wished not to be named, said it was odd that from among nearly six million Muslims, the White House could not find even one for a post that aims at reaching out to Islamic nations. khalid hasan
