“We condemn the distribution of this hateful propaganda and thank campus police for taking this incident seriously,” said CAIR-Cleveland Executive Director Faten Odeh. “We urge students of all backgrounds to continue resisting this intimidation and stand together to repudiate messages of hate.”
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.
