CAIR News:
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today called on state and federal law enforcement authorities to investigate a string of attacks on an Indian restaurant in Albuquerque as hate crimes.
CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said:
“Hate and vandalism targeting any house of worship must be condemned by Americans of all faiths and backgrounds. Anyone attempting to intimidate those fighting anti-Black racism and white supremacy must face the full force of the law. The Justice Department should investigate these incidents as possible violations of federal civil rights laws.” He said CAIR and the American Muslim community are standing in solidarity with all those challenging anti-Black racism, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, and white supremacy.
