March 30, 2021 Ryan Morgan
On Monday, the Council on American-Islamic Relations demanded the U.S. Army remove a news article profiling the life of Zahraa ‘Katya’ Frelund, an Iraqi-American immigrant who risked her life to become an interpreter for U.S. forces deployed in Iraq, later emigrated to the U.S. and eventually joined the Army.
In a March 18 article titled “Soldier fights for her life to serve in US Army†Frelund described her experience facing abuse from her family while living in Iraq in 2009 and her decision to run away from home and immigrate to the U.S.
On Monday, CAIR called on the Army to remove the article, which the advocacy group said was promoting “Islamophobic, Anti-Iraqi, Anti-Arab Themes.â€
