Today we are live tweeting the U.S. House's scheduled floor vote and anticipated approval of #HR5665, Rep. @Ilhan Omar and @RepSchakowsky's Combating International Islamophobia Act.
IA, one step closer to having a @StateDept Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Islamophobia.
American Muslims are proud to see @RepAndreCarson "Dean of the Muslim Caucus" leading today's House floor proceedings, debate, and vote on the Rep. @Ilhan and Rep. @janschakowsky's Combating International Islamophobia Act (#HR5665).
Thank you @RepMcGovern for standing on the House floor to introduce Rep. @Ilhan Omar and Rep. @janschakowsky's Combating International Islamophobia Act (#HR5665).
Disappointing but predictable. @GReschenthaler leading the @HouseGOP charge against the Combating International Islamophobia Act (#HR5665).
Thank you @RepJudyChu for standing in support of the Combating International Islamophobia Act (#HR5665), against #Islamophobia, and for the rights of Muslims across the world.
Thank you, Rep. @JacksonLeeTX18 for taking the House floor to support the Combating International #Islamophobia Act (#HR5665) and standing up to anti-Muslim bigotry.
It's shameful that @RepDanCrenshaw would suggest the American people do not care about #Islamophobia during the debate of the Combating International #Islamophobia Act (#HR5665). Tell that to the thousands of American Muslims who have directly faced anti-Musim bigotry, or worse.
Good lord why would the @HouseGOP let anti-Muslim bigot @RepMTG take the floor in opposition to the Combating International #Islamophobia Act (#HR5665). MTG couldn't help herself & promoted the anti-Muslim #Islamophobic conspiracy theory of "No Go Zones" in Europe. Disgraceful.
Congresswoman @Ilhan Omar takes the House floor to champion the passage of her legislation the Combating International #Islamophobia Act (#HR5665). Thank you, Rep. Omar and @RepSchakowsky for your leadership in fighting all forms of bigotry! #StopIslamophobia
House floor debate on the Combating International Islamophobia Act (#HR5665) has been momentarily halted due to @RepScottPerry's #Islamophobic meltdown targeting Rep. @Ilhan Omar. Debate should conclude shortly followed by a vote, Inshallah. #StopIslamophobia
While @RepScottPerry's Islamophobic attack on Rep. @Ilhan Omar was stricken from the record, @RepAndyBarr is trying his best to play #IslamophobicBingo hitting every key word spanning "Islamic Terrorism" "Jihad" "Sharia" "Political Correctness" and "Good vs. Bad Muslims."
Thank you @RepBarbaraLee for speaking of the true about the threat of global Islamophobia whether it is in China, Burma, India, France, or anywhere else around the word. Together we will pass the Combating International Islamophobia Act (#HR5665) and #StopIslamophobia.
Thank you, Rep. @RashidaTlaib for standing before Congress in supporting the Combating International Islamophobia Act (#HR5665) and defending Muslim here in the U.S., Congress, and around the world. #StopIslamophobia
Thank you @SpeakerPelosi for standing with the American Muslim community and Rep. @Ilhan Omar in supporting the Combating International Islamophobia Act (#HR5665). Together we will #StopIslamophobia around the globe.
Historic milestone for American Muslims! Thank you Rep. @Ilhan Omar, @RepSchakowsky & @HouseDemocrats for voting 219-212 to pass the Combating International Islamophobia Act #HR5665. We are one step closer to having a U.S. Special Envoy to Monitor, Combat & #StopIslamophobia.

Bismillah. Important news: we have disrupted an anti-Muslim hate group's effort to spy on Muslim American organizations, including our Ohio chapter. We thank God for exposing this plot to us and we thank God for protecting the community from harm. Details in this thread.... 1/13
Last year, we learned extensive info about the inner workings of the so-called Investigative Project on Terrorism. IPT is an anti-Muslim, anti-Palestinian hate group founded by Steven Emerson, who largely faded from public view after a humiliating Fox News interview in 2015. 2/13
The evidence we received showed that Emerson’s hate group was flailing but active. Evidence indicated that IPT was monitoring speeches by Muslims & that Emerson was cursing, threatening and otherwise mistreating his staff for failing to produce enough Islamophobic content. 3/13
Repeating the lie won't make it true, @JGreenblattADL. Here's the truth: you use false claims of antisemitism to smear Muslims-especially Muslim women, for some reason-who challenge support for Israeli apartheid. And your dishonesty undermines the fight against real antisemitism.
Here's more truth: @JGreenblattADL happily joined bigots like Benjamin Netanyahu, John Hagee and Robert Jeffress at Trump’s illegal opening of a U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem and called for defeating “Islamism,” a classic Islamophobic dog whistle.
Smearing a civil rights activist as a bigot after YOU took a selfie at an event with real bigots like Hagee and Netanyahu is hypocrisy,@JGreenblattADL. To make it worse: while you partied with the far right, Israeli snipers were killing Palestinian protesters & medics miles away.
Public controversy over the incident flared Wednesday after Bowe appeared at a news conference with leaders and staff attorney Amy Doukoure with the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ Michigan Chapter.
Doukoure and CAIR-MI are representing Bowe in her effort to collect a financial settlement.
The attorney said Friday no lawsuit has been filed at this point, but she and CAIR-MI have filed a “notice of claim,” which asks for a $250,000 settlement for Bowe and a change
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.
"We have prayer rugs, prayer beads, a copy of the holy Quran," CAIR Oklahoma Executive Director Adam Soltani said. "Making sure they feel welcomed and making sure they understand their faith and their culture are very safe in a place like Oklahoma."
Yesterday, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) launched its global Hilton Hotel boycott campaign with a press conference in Washington D.C. Campaign For Uyghurs (CFU) has been honored to be part of this important initiative together with the World Uyghur Congress,
Uyghur Human Rights Project and more than 40 Coalition Partners.
Berbicara pada konferensi pers yang diadakan di depan markas Hilton di Virginia, Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), organisasi yang menggelar aksi tersebut mengatakan bahwa mereka telah “bernegosiasi secara tidak langsung”
dengan grup hotel tetapi upaya itu "tidak berhasil".
