On February 13, 2003 United Press International reported that "FBI Director Robert Mueller has invited American Muslim leaders to discuss the agency's response to terrorist threats. The meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, will also discuss the backlash against Muslims following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks... An FBI letter, received Thursday by Muslim organizations, says the director wants to address 'the issues regarding the agency's response to terrorist threats and backlash hate crimes against the members of the American Muslim community.'"
