(HARTFORD, CT, 7/5/2022) – The Connecticut chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-CT) today condemned the distribution of racist white supremacist materials in a neighborhood of Berlin, Conn.
Residents found dozens of the flyers from a neo-Nazi group known as the “Nationalist Social Club 131” littered on their properties.

“As we unfortunately witness on almost a daily basis, racist hate inevitably leads to acts of intimidation and violence,” said CAIR-CT Chair Farhan Memon. “We condemn the bigotry espoused by this neo-Nazi group and urge law enforcement authorities to bring the perpetrators to justice.”
Memon noted that earlier this year, CAIR-CT similarly condemned the distribution of racist flyers to neighborhoods in West Hartford. CAIR also recently condemn the promotion of racist hate in Minnesota and Alabama.
He said CAIR and the American Muslim community stand in solidarity with all those challenging antisemitism, anti-Black racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and white supremacy.
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.
