CAIR expresses its support and solidarity with @mp

CAIR expresses its support and solidarity with @mpowerchange Executive Director @lsarsour after she was smeared yesterday by various elected officials and political leaders in the wake of her appearance at a Democratic National Convention event.

In a statement, CAIR National Deputy Director Edward Ahmed Mitchell said: "Our sister Linda Sarsour is an outspoken advocate of justice for all, including the Jewish community. Smearing her and other American Muslims as anti-Semitic for supporting Palestinian human rights is predictable, despicable and unacceptable. Our political leaders must stop doing it."
