WASHINGTON

The Tuesday release of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) report "Confronting Fear" will be delayed until further notice due to Sunday's horrific massacre in Orlando.

CAIR had scheduled a news conference for Tuesday morning to release the report. That news conference has been canceled.

"Our prayers are with the Orlando victims and their families," said Corey Saylor, director of CAIR's Department to Monitor and Combat Islamophobia. "A forthright discussion about all forms of bias is vital to our nation. However, it is our belief that in the wake of this weekend's tragedy in Orlando, our nation should focus on addressing anti-LGBT hate."
