ARAB-CANADIANS URGE CAUTION:  In light of the recent arrests of some Algerian nationals and the continued allegations by the media and security services reporting that Canada is becoming a hub for Algerian and "Islamicthe Canadian-Arab Federation (CAF) issued the following report:  We feel that the latest development has created an atmosphere of undue suspicion and unfounded allegations. We urge community members to contact us as soon as you feel harassed or unduly questioned because of who you are. Please remember you are citizens and entitled to the protection of the Charter of Rights and Freedom. The Canadian Arab Federation is vigilant and ready to provide any assistance related to these developments. 
    The Canadian Arab Federation is worried and concerned about a negative public backlash against Canadian Arabs and Muslims. CAF is troubled by the fact that Canada's Algerian community is becoming under scrutiny and that innocent Canadian Arabs are targets for harassment and questioning. The unfortunate tendency by the media to use terms such as Canada being a "haven for Islamic extremists" or Montreal being a "Club Med" for Algerian terrorism, only exacerbates tensions and creates undue suspicions to hard working Canadians of Algerian extraction. CAF senses disquiet over the creeping xenophobia towards immigrants and that suddenly the entire immigration laws and system in Canada must be changed. 
    Dr. John Asfour, president of the Canadian Arab Federation, calls on the government of Canada to lessen the fear that has been created in communities across Canada and urges the media to refrain from sensationalism and wrong conclusions. The so-called terrorism experts have created an atmosphere of panic and suspicion about people of Arab and Muslim decent. We are concerned with possible over-reaction by authorities that could lead to a disregard for civil liberties. The Canadian Arab and Muslim community fears a repeat of the Gulf War experience when the community felt targeted and misrepresented.
