(WASHINGTON D.C., 9/21/2022) – The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today condemned the distribution of racist flyers to homes in Fargo N.D.
Hundreds of flyers were found on cars, private properties and streets in West Fargo. The flyers contained a reference to the white supremacist “Great Replacement” theory. Similar materials were reported in south Fargo’s Osgood neighborhood. West Fargo police are investigating.

He said CAIR and the American Muslim community stand in solidarity with all those challenging antisemitism, systemic anti-Black racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, white supremacy, and all other forms of bigotry.
