Nairobi: Muslim leaders have appealed to President Uhuru Kenyatta to embrace US President Obama's call of ending the profiling of Muslims and instead engage communities to combat terrorism.

In a press conference in Nairobi yesterday, the Muslim leaders said there have been increased cases of reported disappearances and extra judicial killings of Muslim youth and women suspected by security agencies of involvement in terrorism activities.
