Let me be very clear: opposing the genocide in Gaza is not antisemitism.

Fired Muslim prof sues Florida college despite apology, reinstatement. https://t.co/e0DncpK6gm

[CAIR National @CAIRNational]

We congratulate the @CAIRFlorida team on successfully hosting their annual Muslim Hill Day at the Florida State Capitol despite attempts to intimidate and endanger them by @AGJamesUthmeier.

Florida Muslims and their partners from various faith communities spent the entire day in the People's House. They met with their elected officials. They advocated for free speech, due process and religious freedom. They held a press conference in the capitol rotunda. They celebrated as the Florida legislature recognized Muslim American Heritage Month, alhamdulillah.

Let this be a lesson to @RonDeSantis and every other anti-Muslim, Israel First politician who wants to silence American Muslims because we dared to oppose a genocide.

You can smear us. You can threaten us. You can even try to endanger us. God willing, we will keep standing up for our rights and for the rights of our neighbors. And if you violate those rights, CAIR's attorneys look forward to seeing you in court. Just make sure you first ask 0-3 Governor @GregAbbott_TX and CAIR monthly funder @LauraLoomer how that worked out for them.

[CAIR National @CAIRNational]

The thought of Florida Muslims exercising their constitutional right to visit the State Capitol and meet with their elected officials might terrifiy keyboard warriors like @AGJamesUthmeier. But Mr. Uthmeier's cowardice and his contempt for the Constitution are his problems, not ours.

Every year, @CAIRFlorida and the Florida Muslim community host Muslim Day at the State Capitol. During the event, Florida Muslims from across the state visit the state legislature, meet with their elected officials and discuss important issues, including free speech, religious freedom and civil rights.

Today, the attendees plan to focus on educating lawmakers about the dangerous of the Police State Bills, pieces of legislation that would give the Florida governor unchecked power to use secret evidence to instantly criminalize any American nonprofit organization he dislikes without any due process.

No politician has no right to interfere with Floridians exercising their rights, and if they dare to do so, they should expect to find themselves in court answering to a federal judge. The Florida Muslim community looks forward to, God willing, a positive and productive day at the State Capitol.

⁦@CAIRNational⁩, ⁦@CAIRFlorida⁩ Welcome the Release of Florida Teen Mohamed Ibrahim, Call on U.S. Government to Hold Israel Accountable for Abuse https://t.co/En2mt2gapM

[CAIR National @CAIRNational]

BREAKING: nine months after Israeli forces abducted Florida teenager and American citizen Mohammed Ibrahim in the middle of the night based on a lie and subjected him to torture, he has been released. Alhamdulillah. We commend Mohammed's family for their steadfastness and we thank everyone who raised their voices for him, from Tampa to Palestine and beyond.

In a statement, @CAIRFlorida today said:

“Mohammed should have spent this year studying for his learner’s permit and enjoying time with his family—not locked in a military prison, beaten, starved, and terrified. His release is cause for celebration, but it must also be a turning point. The U.S. cannot continue providing unchecked support to a government that tortures American children.”

In a statement, @CAIRNational said:

“Mohammed’s homecoming is a blessing, but it does not erase the torture and suffering he endured. The U.S. government has a responsibility to investigate Israel’s abuse of an American citizen and ensure that no other child—American or Palestinian—is subjected to the same treatment.”

[CAIR National @CAIRNational]

Wow. The Israeli government is now so desperate that it is cutting out the incompetent middleman (looking at you, @GregAbbott_TX) and attacking CAIR directly. What an honor. We must be doing something right.

By the way, Minister @AmichaiChikli, your government sucks up billions in American taxpayer dollars every year and spends millions on your department's propaganda budget. Yet the best attack you can level against us is the old Hamas/Muslim Brotherhood conspiracy theory?

With all that free American money, couldn't you make up something new? Something more original? If you want to distract the American people from the children you keep bombing with our taxpayer dollars, you'll need something better than this weak showing.

And for the record, here are the facts:

1. CAIR statement that has appeared on its website for decades: “We unequivocally condemn all acts of terrorism, whether carried out by al-Qa’ida, the Real IRA, FARC, Hamas, or any other group designated by the U.S. Department of State as a ‘Foreign Terrorist Organization.’”

2. Document listing 30 years of CAIR's condemnations of terrorism, including suicide bombings by Hamas.

3. CAIR National Board statement from 2023 that reaffirms our condemnation of attacks on civilians on Oct. 7th.

@CAIRNational, @CAIRFlorida Welcome @USouthFlorida Felony Hate Crime Charges, Call on @HollywoodFLPD & @BrowardSheriff for Swift, Decisive Action in NSU Students Harassment Case | @bsosherifftony https://t.co/tbEZlsaoPm

[CAIR National @CAIRNational]

We welcome the decision by the USF Police Department to bring felony hate crime charges against the three individuals responsible for harassing Muslim students. This decisive action sends a clear message that Islamophobic intimidation on campus will not be tolerated, and it serves as a critical step toward justice.

However, a similar hate crime against NSU students in Hollywood has still not resulted in any charges against the perpetrators. We call on the Hollywood Police Department to follow USF PD's exemplary leadership and move swiftly and decisively to file hate crime charges in that case. https://t.co/rurZjfEIun

BREAKING: a federal court has temporarily blocked ICE from transferring British journalist Sami Hamdi out of California. In a ruling, the court also recognized that there are “serious questions” about whether the government illegally detained Sami in retaliation for his exercise of free speech and scheduled a hearing to address his case further.

This important first step follows legal action by @CAIRCalifornia, @MLFA and immigration attorney Hassan Ahmad, whose motions argue that the government has violated the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech for everyone on American soil by arresting Hamdi under pressure from anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian extremists opposed to his criticism of Israel's genocide.

CAIR-CA met with Hamdi in detention earlier this week. He was in positive spirits and expressed thanks to all Americans speaking up for free speech and human rights.

“This is an important first step,” said CAIR-CA CEO Hussam Ayloush. “The court has recognized that this case raises serious constitutional concerns and has acted to ensure Sami cannot be quietly moved away from his lawyers. The fight continues for his freedom and for the protection of free speech for everyone.”

Right now, Mohammed Ibrahim, a US citizen, is being held in an Israeli prison.

His health is deteriorating. The circumstances are desperate.

The United States must use every avenue available to secure the release of this Palestinian American child.

[CAIR National @CAIRNational]

When the @gbsumudflotilla set sail, its goal was simple yet profound, to force the world to look at Gaza and confront the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe. Though its ships were seized and its crews detained, its moral momentum remains unsinkable. What began on the decks of aid boats has now reached the hearts of people around the world and the attention of global leaders. That courage and compassion cannot be silenced, and it continues to expose the injustice faced by Palestinians every day.

[CAIR National @CAIRNational]

We strongly condemn the Israeli defense minister’s declaration that the cowardly war criminals of his regime will treat everyone unable or unwilling to leave their homes in Gaza City as a ‘terrorist.’ Threatening to kill every man, woman and child who remains in Gaza City constitutes a clear violation of international law and another chilling indication of genocidal intent. The world must not stand by in silence.

Our government must immediately and unequivocally condemn this clear statement to commit genocide and take action to prevent further Israeli crimes against humanity. We again call on the Trump administration to end all military aid to Israel and force Netanyahu to accept a real, immediate and permanent ceasefire deal before the Israeli government completes its genocide.
