(CLEVELAND, OH, 5/16/24) – The Ohio chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Ohio), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today condemned distribution of racist, white supremacist propaganda in that state.

Resident of the predominantly Black Hough community in Cleveland found flyers with images of the Ku Klux Klan hate group and racist messages left at their homes. Similar hate messages were distributed in Akron, Ohio.

In a statement, CAIR-Ohio, Cleveland & Northern Ohio Executive Director Faten Odeh said:

“We condemn this attempt to spread racist hate and to intimidate minority communities. People of all faiths and backgrounds must join together to reject bigotry in all its twisted forms.”

She added that 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 is America’s largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization. CAIR-Ohio’s mission is to enhance understanding of Islam, protect civil rights, promote justice, and empower American Muslims. CAIR-Ohio has offices in Columbus, Cincinnati, and Cleveland.

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.
