“This disturbing incident is a reminder that racism continues to be promoted in our society,” said CAIR-CT Chair Farhan Memon. “We condemn the distribution of this hateful propaganda and stand in solidarity with all the residents of West Hartford.”
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.
