(WASHINGTON, DC, 12/6/23) – On Thursday, Dec. 7, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, plans to release updated civil rights data showing that it has continued to receive a “staggering” increase in complaints of anti-Muslim or anti-Arab bias over the past two months.

In a statement,CAIR Research and Advocacy Director Corey Saylor said:
“The latest data will show that two months after Oct. 7th, both Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism continue to spin out of control, resulting in bullying, discrimination, censorship, harassment and hate crimes at American Muslims, Palestinian-Americans and others.”
The data CAIR plans to release tomorrow covers the entire two-month time period from 10/7/2023 to 12/4/2023.
CAIR previously released data covering 10/7 to 11/4. During that first month after Oct. 7, CAIR’s national headquarters and chapters received a total of 1,283 requests for help and reports of bias, which was a 216 percent increase over a similar one-month period the previous year.
