(WASHINGTON, D.C., 7/5/2023) – The Connecticut chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-CT), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today condemned signs posted on roads by a notorious white supremacist group, the Patriot Front.

“White supremacists and bigots of all types are unfortunately spreading their hate-filled message in Connecticut and nationwide,” said CAIR-Connecticut Chair Farhan Memon. “People of all backgrounds in our state must stand up against this and all forms of bigotry.”
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.
