The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today condemned an “unhinged, racist rant” by Anti-Defamation League (ADL) national director and CEO Jonathan Greenblatt, who was reportedly caught on tape denigrating the Black Lives Matter movement and equating pro-Palestinian student protesters to ISIS and Al-Qaeda during a speech to Republican attorneys general.

The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) similarly condemned Greenblatt’s bigoted remarks.
