- Verse of the Day: Monasteries, Churches, Synagogues, and Mosques
"Had not God repelled some people by the might of others, the monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which God's praise is celebrated daily, would have been utterly demolished.

The Holy Quran, 22:40-41
- CAIR-Cincinnati Awarded 'Outstanding Case of the Year' by Cincinnati Employment Lawyers Association
- The Cincinnati chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Cincinnati) was presented with the 2014 "Outstanding Case of the Year Award" yesterday by the Cincinnati Employment Lawyers Association (CELA) for its work on a civil rights employment case in 2013-2014.
The case involved 23 workers who were fired from the DHL Global Mail facility in Hebron, Ky., for seeking their religious rights under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The workers were fired for insisting on their right to have flexible break times so they could perform their religious duty to pray at prescribed times during the day. CAIR-Cincinnati was able to bring the case to a successful conclusion for the workers.
