CAIR: US Muslim group calls Biden ‘mass murderer of Muslims’ – Al Jazeera

“President Biden cannot credibly claim to care about Muslims or Islamophobia while simultaneously supporting the Israeli government’s destruction of mosques, desecration of Qurans, and mass murder of a predominantly Muslim population,” the group said in a statement.

“By enabling Netanyahu’s war crimes, President Biden has sadly become a mass murderer of Muslims.”

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, the largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S., panned what it called “the White House’s long-delayed document” as “too little, too late.”

“The White House strategy lays out some positive recommendations related to anti-Muslim bigotry, but it has been released too late to make an impact, fails to promise any changes to federal programs that perpetuate anti-Muslim discrimination on a massive scale,” the council said in a statement further noting that the plan doesn’t address what it called a “federal watchlist” targeting some Arab-Americans as potential terrorists.

It added that the plan “fails to promise an end the most significant driver of anti-Muslim bigotry today: the U.S.-backed genocide in Gaza.“
