#CAIRLA today condemned the racist slurs directed at a Black high school student during an on-campus basketball game.

In a video captured during a varsity game between #LagunaHillsHighSchool and #PortolaHighSchool on Friday, Jan. 21, at least one student can be heard yelling racist remarks referencing animals, slavery, chains, and cages at Portola player Makai Brown.

“We firmly stand by Makai and all other students of color targeted by hateful, racist remarks. All students have a right to attend school and participate in extracurricular activities without risk of being bullied or feeling unsafe. While the school has taken the appropriate steps in having the responsible student counseled and disciplined, we strongly recommend that both schools implement an anti-racist curriculum and work towards preventing these incidents from reoccurring.” – CAIR-LA Deputy Executive Director Masih Fouladi

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (@cair_national) released a new report titled ‘Islamophobia in the Mainstream.’ It examined anti-Muslim hatred in the US during 2019 and 2020. Key findings in the report revealed that nearly $106 million that was provided to Islamophobic groups between 2017-2019.

Christian Advocates Serving Evangelism Inc, Schwab Charitable Fund, the Adelson Family Foundation and the Jewish Communal Fund were among the top funders of the ‘US Islamophobia network’ which spread false information about Muslims and support for anti-Muslim policies.

Here are some key findings in the report.

BREAKING: Gregory McMichael and his son, Travis McMichael, both received life in prison plus 20 years without the possibility of parole. Their neighbor, William “Roddie” Bryan Jr., was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 30 years.

The three men were found guilty on multiple counts of murder for the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man fatally shot while out for a jog on February 23, 2020.

#Jumuahmubarak!

Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “If anyone relieves a Muslim believer from one of the hardships of this worldly life, Allah will relieve him of one of the hardships of the Day of Resurrection. If anyone makes it easy for the one who is indebted to him (while finding it difficult to repay), Allah will make it easy for him in this worldly life and in the Hereafter. And if anyone conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and in the Hereafter. Allah helps His slave as long as he helps his brother.” Related by Muslim.

#CAIRCA stands with @zahrabilloo and every person smeared for supporting #Palestinian #humanrights.

During a speech delivered at a conference in #Chicago last month, Zahra spoke of the clear connections between #Islamophobic hate groups and anti-Palestinian activism. She further criticized the #Israeli government’s human rights abuses against the Palestinian people. She also encouraged #American #Muslims to avoid collaborating with any organizations that support the political ideology that the Israeli apartheid government uses to justify dispossessing, occupying, and killing Palestinians.

She is now the target of an online smear campaign.

While the officers involved have been placed on paid administrative leave, none of them currently face criminal charges for these offensive text messages nor for the allegations against them of severe police misconduct, including the excessive use of force.

#CAIRLA today condemned a white supremacist banner put up on a freeway overpass in #Irvine featuring #Islamophobic, #antiSemitic and other, equally vile forms of bigoted messaging.

The large cloth banner, which hung above the 405 at Jeffrey Road, referred to Jewish people as a “virus” with “white replacement,” communism, #criticalracetheory, and the #BlackLivesMatter movement listed as the “symptoms.” It also mentioned that “Mayor Khan’s mosque agrees,” making a false connection between anti-Semitism and @farrahforirvine’s #Islamic #faith.

Here’s what you need to know about this historic day 👆

A jury in Glynn County, Georgia, found three men — Gregory McMichael, his son Travis McMichael and their neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan Jr. — guilty on multiple counts of murder for the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man fatally shot while out for a jog on Feb. 23, 2020.

We welcome the court’s decision in the trial. The defendants made assumptions based on racist stereotypes and armed themselves with firearms in an attempt to detain an unarmed Black man simply for taking an afternoon jog, which ultimately resulted in them shooting him and taking his life. We applaud the jury’s realization that the defendants’ claims to self defense were unfounded and look forward to all three of them being held accountable for their actions.

The jury in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse reached

The jury in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse reached a verdict today, finding him not guilty on all counts of homicide and reckless endangerment charges.

We are severely disappointed in the jury’s not guilty verdict and the judge’s clear preferential treatment of the defendant during the trial. Rittenhouse’s irresponsible and vigilante behavior during last year’s protest against police brutality in Kenosha, Wisconsin, resulted in the death of two men and the wounding of another. He—and anyone else who illegally and violently attempts to take matters into his or her own hands—should be held accountable for endangering the lives of others.

At a time when men of color such as Julius Jones face life in prison for unproven allegations, this verdict is just another example of the American justice system’s leniency towards white male violence.
