CAIR-WA: New report confirms that fighting Islamophobia is vital to intersectional liberation

At the Washington state chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-WA), our mandate is to advocate for the civil rights of Muslims in Washington state. As the region’s leading Muslim civil rights group, CAIR-WA is frequently solicited for data on Washington’s Muslims by media, government entities, and elected officials. There is a critical need for accurate demographic data, as well as data on experiences of discrimination. In April 2024, CAIR-WA surveyed 684 Muslims over the age of 13 living in Washington state, receiving 542 complete responses.

“By freezing the delivery of bulldozers to Israel, the Biden administration is clearly admitting that the far-right Israeli government is engaged in the war crime of ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Despite this implicit recognition that Israel is committing war crimes, President Biden steadfastly refuses to stop sending taxpayer-funded weapons,” said Nihad Awad, CAIR’s national executive director.
