CAIR-AZ: ‘Crusade’ caller sentenced after anti-Muslim threat to Maricopa mosque
The Arizona chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the largest Muslim civil rights group in the U.S., described the threats as “chilling,” calling the ordeal “a stark reminder of the ongoing danger that the Muslim and other minority communities face” in a statement to InMaricopa last month.

Similarly, Hibah Hammoudeh, a civil rights coordinator with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), linked Hamdi’s case to a broader pattern of suppressing dissent.
“This is about more than just one person,” she said. “It is sadly only one example of several cases where the revocation and denial of visas has been weaponised to silence those criticising the Israeli government. We are witnessing the ongoing criminalisation of dissent, which people who do not have US citizenship are the most vulnerable to.”
