CAIR: Backlash flares over Muslim American Heritage display at Altoona library – WEAU
“The library staff, I thought, drew a very appropriate line,” said Corey Saylor, research and advocacy director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations. “And again, I think the idea of educating the community in Altoona about things that perhaps people don’t always have exposure to is just always a great idea.”

In a Monday, July 27, statement the Greater Los Angeles Area office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations condemned the antisemitic vandalism.
“An attack on the Jewish community and its right to safety is an attack on all of us.” Executive Director Hussam Ayloush said in the statement. “Defacing a mural that symbolizes healing and resilience after devastating loss is an act of hatred that seeks to spread fear and deepen pain. Bigotry exploiting political events should be unequivocally condemned and rejected. Blaming and harassing Jewish community members for the actions of the Israeli government is antisemitic, immoral, and ignorant.”
