“This hate propaganda, while disturbing, must not cause the division and fear its distributors intended,” said CAIR-MO Board Chair Yasir Ali. “The people of Missouri stand together in repudiation of all forms of ethnic and religious bigotry.”
He said CAIR-MO and the American Muslim community stand in solidarity with all those challenging antisemitism, systemic anti-Black racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, white supremacy, and all other forms of bigotry.
