CINCINNATI (AP) -- Complaints and a request from the archbishop have led a Cincinnati Roman Catholic high school to drop plans for a Ramadan dinner to build goodwill with Muslims.

President Kirsten MacDougal of Mother of Mercy school says Archbishop Dennis Schnurr received "emotionally charged" emails, mostly from outside the area, and asked the girls' school to cancel its Friday night plans. The event will be held at a church parish center instead.

A spokesman for Schnurr tells The Cincinnati Enquirer ( http://bit.ly/pXflfW ) the complaints centered around the school partnership in the dinner with the local chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR.

The U.S. has linked CAIR to a terror financing case and the FBI won't work directly with its members.

Local CAIR officials say they work against terrorism and violence.
