The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today condemned the hanging of a banner promoting a White supremacist group on an overpass in Washington City, Utah.
A sign promoting the White supremacist group known as Patriot Front was allegedly found hanging on an overpass in Washington City near Exit 13 of Interstate 15 recently.
“We condemn this effort to spread hatred and division and stand in solidarity with the people and diverse communities of Utah against all forms of bigotry,” said CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper. “Now is the time for all Americans to stand together against hate.”
He noted that CAIR has in the past responded to a number of bias incidents in Utah and to incidents involving the Patriot Front nationwide.
Washington, D.C., based 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.
