Barbara Boxer and CAIR

It has been reported that Barbara Boxer and the Council on Arab-Islamic Relations have met and ironed out differences, though the award that was rescinded will not be returned to Basim Elkarra, executive director of the Sacramento office, and Boxer says the concerns remain.

In the Washington Post account this statement from CAIR is provided:

"We have addressed the issues related to this unfortunate and unnecessary incident, and have agreed with Senator Boxer that we should all move forward to build a nation in which people of all faiths work together to promote respect and tolerance," CAIR said in a statement.

Though this is ended for now, from the reports I've read there are still issues hanging on. They've basically agreed to move forward. All of this reminds us we have so much father to go to resolve differences and build bridges that overcome distrust.
