(CLEVELAND, OH, 9/27/2024) – The Cleveland office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Cleveland) today condemned the distribution of racist flyers on the campus of Youngstown State University.
The fliers were from a known white supremacy group and included racist remarks. Campus police are investigating the incident.
“We condemn the distribution of this hateful propaganda and thank campus police for taking this incident seriously,” said CAIR-Cleveland Executive Director Faten Odeh. “We urge students of all backgrounds to continue resisting this intimidation and stand together to repudiate messages of hate.”
CAIR 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.
CAIR’s mission is to protect civil rights, enhance understanding of Islam, promote justice, and empower American Muslims.
La misión de CAIR es proteger las libertades civiles, mejorar la comprensión del Islam, promover la justicia, y empoderar a los musulmanes en los Estados Unidos.
