The Kansas chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Kansas) today condemned a rally and march by masked white supremacists from the Patriot Front in Kansas City on Saturday.
CAIR has repeatedly condemned activities by the hate group nationwide.
“We condemn this attempt to promote white supremacy and urge all community leaders and elected officials to similarly reject racism and all other forms of bigotry,” said CAIR-Kansas Board Chair Moussa Elbayoumy.
He noted that CAIR-Kansas 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.
CAIR’s mission is to protect civil rights, enhance understanding of Islam, promote justice, and empower American Muslims.
La misión de CAIR es proteger las libertades civiles, mejorar la comprensión del Islam, promover la justicia, y empoderar a los musulmanes en los Estados Unidos.
