Our first protest of CAIR Oklahoma on January 15th was foiled when CAIR Oklahoma changed the location the day before in order to avoid us. But, that night gave us time to meet and discuss our concerns regarding CAIR and their chapter in Oklahoma.
Our 2nd protest was at the University of Oklahoma in Norman Oklahoma whene CAIR Oklahoma showed a feel-good film about Islam on the 23rd of January which was covered by the press!
We are off to a good start.
