The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today condemned the distribution of white supremacist propaganda in Wisconsin.
Police in Baraboo, Wisconsin, are investigating sandwich bags containing white supremacist messages found by residents on Monday morning.
Earlier this week, CAIR similarly condemned the distribution of White supremacist propaganda in Evergreen, Montana.
“These cowardly attempts to spread white supremacist ideology have no place in any community,” said CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper. “We call on local, state, and federal leaders to repudiate those responsible for spreading hate and division.”
He said 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.
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.
