The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, condemned the hanging of a white supremacist banner over a highway in Montana.
The “White Man Zone” banner was hung by three masked men from an overpass in Butte, Montana, over the weekend.
“We condemn this attempt to spread white supremacist hate and join with all those opposed to the racism, bigotry and division this type of propaganda represents,” said CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper.
He noted that earlier this year, CAIR condemned the distribution of white supremacist material at Montana State University.
Hooper 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.
