(WASHINGTON, D.C., 3/20/2023) – The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today condemned neo-Nazi vandalism targeting houses in Nashville, Tenn.
Two individuals were caught on camera spray painting swastikas and hate messages on houses in the Sylvan Park area of Nashville on Sunday. Police are looking for the suspects.

“This dangerous and threatening act of anti-semitic hate is completely unacceptable,” said CAIR Deputy Director Edward Ahmed Mitchell. “Someone could have easily been hurt or worse during the commission of this crime. Law enforcement must track down and fully prosecute whoever did this before their acts of hate escalate.”
He said CAIR and the American Muslim community stand in solidarity with all those challenging antisemitism, 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.
