The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today condemned the distribution of racist flyers promoting the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) in the Memphis, Tennessee, area.
Recruitment flyers for a KKK group featuring anti-immigrant images were distributed around Memphis. Another flyer promoting a different White supremacist group has also reportedly been seen around Memphis.

“This type of hate propaganda will not succeed in intimidating or dividing the communities of Memphis or any other American city,” said CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper.
He noted that CAIR has previously condemned similar racist and white supremacist activity in Tennessee and around the country.
