CAIR-DFW: North Texas houses of worship lock doors, tighten security amid surge in targeted violence – Dallas Morning News
Mustafaa Carroll, D-FW executive director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Muslim civil rights and advocacy group, said his organization in 2024 received the highest number of annual complaints — 8,658 — since its first civil rights report in 1996.
The organization in 2024 identified 40 incidents in the U.S. targeting spaces designated for Islamic worship.
Carroll said local politicians are contributing to high levels of Islamophobia. He condemned fear-mongering rhetoric about “Sharia law” or Muslims trying to “take over” the U.S. “I think it’s fairly new that the administration, the political leadership in Texas, is now leading in the [anti-Muslim] rhetoric,” he said.
