The Georgia Muslim community mourns the senseless deaths of our Asian-American sisters and brothers.
We extend our condolences to the families of the victims and the entire Asian-American community inside and outside of Georgia. Although we still need to learn more about how and why these attacks happened, hate and animosity against communities of color, particularly targeting women and the elderly is not new. CAIR-Georgia will extend any help and support needed in this moment and continue to stand against hate and bigotry in all its ugly forms.
In a statement,
CAIR-Georgia Legal and Policy Director Murtaza Khwaja said: The hate against the Asian-American community has and continues to be stoked by the incendiary tenor of the racist rhetoric of some elected officials. From pejoratively dubbing the coronavirus the China virus to the xenophobic immigration policies of yesterday and today, women, lower income families, and people of color continue to be the prima
