The Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MN) today condemned the neo-Nazi vandalism of a bridge and walking path in Cloquet.
Cloquet, Minnesota, police are seeking information regarding neo-Nazi and other White supremacist symbolism spray-painted on the bridge near Spafford Park and the walking path north of the St. Louis River. The graffiti included the name of a white supremacist organization.

“We condemn this hateful vandalism and call on all Minnesotans to come together to repudiate the ideology it promotes,” said CAIR-MN Executive Director Jaylani Hussein. “Our communities will not be intimidated or divided by this kind of bigotry.”
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.
