The New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-NY), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, Wednesday condemned a hate crime targeting an African-American woman in Queens, N.Y., on August 17.
The alleged perpetrator, a white woman seen on witness video, reportedly assaulted a Black jogger in Queens. Video and reports show that the assailant threw a glass bottle at the unsuspecting jogger while yelling at her to “go back to Africa n****r.”
In a statement, CAIR-NY Legal Director Ahmed Mohamed stated:
“We vehemently condemn this revolting action allegedly committed by this hateful individual and welcome the NYPD’s hate crime investigation into this incident. All New Yorkers deserve a safe, hate free city.”
CAIR-NY and the American Muslim community stand in solidarity with those actively challenging anti-Black racism, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, and white supremacy.
CAIR-NY is a chapter of America’s largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization.
