MICHIGAN – A local Muslim woman and her family are outraged after discovering that her face was being used in a CNN video about ISIS recruitment. 

The woman’s husband recognized his wife’s face in the clip. Though she has no ties to ISIS, the woman’s face was featured in the clip for a few seconds. 

The identity of the woman has been kept anonymous, but she has already reached out to the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) to file an official complaint against the news giant. 

The ADC has already asked CNN to remove the video and issue an apology. 

“Imagine seeing a video about ISIS recruitment, and suddenly, there’s your picture,” Abed A. Ayoub, policy director at the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committe, said. “She was shocked at first, angry, and there’s a sense of disbelief by her husband as well.”

CNN discovered the footage from a decade-old video of the woman singing the U.S. national anthem, with the American flag waving behind her. 

The family doesn’t know how they found the footage or how they deemed it appropriate for a video about ISIS recruitment in Europe. 

As of Thursday afternoon, the video was taken down. 

According to Ayoub, the family is concerned for their children’s safety, should people they know begin to suspect the woman of being a terrorist. 

“These mistakes have consequences,” Ayoub told the Dot. The ADC has requested a meeting with CNN to prevent future incidents like these from occurring.
