CAIR-NC: Allison: ‘This hateful stunt was meant to silence us’ – Iredell Free News
The North Carolina chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-NC), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, also welcomed law enforcement efforts related to the incident.
“We strongly condemn this apparently bias-motivated act, which evokes America’s painful history of racial terror targeting Black political leaders” CAIR-NC Representative Al Rieder said in a statement. “This disturbing incident reflects the broader rise in hate-fueled political rhetoric and acts of racial intimidation targeting marginalized communities nationwide.

Jaylani Hussein, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Minnesota, who himself emigrated to the U.S. from Somalia in the early 1990s, said many Somali Minnesotans supported President Trump this past election. The president won 12% of the vote in Minneapolis, a Democratic stronghold, but nearly double that figure in some heavily East African precincts, according to an analysis by the Minnesota Star Tribune.
Hussein called Mr. Trump’s remarks “a political statement,” but said they’ve also caused alarm. “Anytime something like this happens, we as a community are on guard, partially because we have seen political violence that took the life of Charlie Kirk, that took the life of [Rep.] Melissa Hortman, that took the life of many others, and we’re seeing those threats,” he explained. “And so that’s why we are a lot more alarmed when these things are publicly played out.”
