Muslim groups boycott Hilton over planned hotel on demolished Uighur mosque

Speaking at a news conference in front of Hilton's headquarters in Virginia, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said that the planned construction of the hotel was contributing to the destruction of Uighur Muslims' culture and faith.
"We gave Hilton hotels more than four months, to rethink, to reconsider... but they decided to put profit over values," said Nihad Awad, the executive director of CAIR. "They decided to put their own bottom line over human rights."
"You and I can make a dent into Hilton hotel's bottom line because that's the only language they speak," Awad said.
"You and I have the choice to choose where to go on your travel or to do business meetings or to hold events, weddings or banquets... We appeal to people who go on Hajj, who visit Madinah, Mecca, not to stay at the Hilton hotel," he added.

Many refugees will come with little to nothing. So, CAIR, an organization that provides resources to the local Muslim community, is gathering items for a welcome kit with necessities and a hot meal.
