New York – The New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is demanding an apology from video producers Adam Saleh and Sheikh Akbar, who air the YouTube channel TrueStoryASA, after they admitted the video their aired showing alleged racial profiling was in fact staged and not real as they first stated.

Saleh and Akbar released a video Sunday titled “Racial Profiling Experiment,” showing the two men getting into an argument in jeans and t-shirts in front of what was purportedly a police officer.
The officer ignores them and lets them pass by. In the next clip, they do it again dressed in keffiyeh scarves and traditional long shirts, and are stopped by the fake police officer.
Saleh and Akbar initially claimed the video was a real example of racial profiling.
The Huffington Post (http://huff.to/1tfDQcI) reports that Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR’s national communications director, said the duo’s actions were “unacceptable.”
