CAIR-Philadelphia today condemned racist, neo-Nazi and antisemitic graffiti spray-painted on Roxborough High School on Saturday night. “Acts of hate like this are meant to intimidate and divide, but they ultimately strengthen our resolve to stand together against bigotry,” said CAIR-Philadelphia Executive Director Ahmet Tekelioglu. “Racist, antisemitic and neo-Nazi vandalism has no place in our schools or our city, and it must be confronted swiftly and unequivocally by community leaders and law enforcement authorities.” Tekelioglu called on local officials to conduct a thorough investigation and ensure accountability, while also investing in education and community-based efforts to prevent hate crimes. He said CAIR and the American Muslim community stand in solidarity with all those challenging antisemitism, systemic anti-Black racism, xenophobia, anti-Muslim hate, white supremacy, and all other forms of bigotry.
Presenters: Adam Attia, Esq., CAIR-Philadelphia Legal Director; Ahmet Tekelioglu, PhD., CAIR-Philadelphia Executive Director; Christine Mohamed, CAIR-Pittsburgh Executive Director.

Photo of Pennsylvania Representatives Summer Lee, Mary Gay Scanlon, and Madeleine Dean with text: Good News Alert: Rep. Madeleine Dean and Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon recently joined Rep. Summer Lee as co-sponsors of H.R. 3565, also known as the Block the Bombs Act. This resolution is the first-ever House legislation aimed at blocking the selling, transferring, or exporting of U.S. weapons to arm Israel's ongoing genocide, ethnic cleansing, and forced starvation of Palestinians in Gaza. They are among the growing number of House Democrats who have signed on to the resolution since June 2025. CAIR-Pennsylvania welcomes Reps. Lee, Dean, and Scanlon’s principled stance against arming genocide and calls on all Pennsylvania and Delaware representatives to follow suit and support H.R. 3565.

The fifth grader's handwritten responses to this project worksheet: I will be walking to support and make others aware of: Human rights. The group or organization that I have chosen is: CAIR (Chapter American Islamic Relations) Let me tell you about what this group does to help: Defend people who can't defend themselves and share the rights of Muslims inside US. The work this group does is very important to me because: They have everything organized and they are kind, truthful, and smart and they are brave enough to do anything. They help anybody in need.
In This Moment, Our Commitment to Justice Must Remain Unshaken Dear Brothers and Sisters, Salam Alaykum, The news of the recent violent attack targeting Israeli embassy staff in Washington, D.C. was deeply troubling. At a time when our hearts are already heavy with grief over the ongoing devastation in Gaza, this act brought with it a renewed sorrow — and concern. Resorting to violence threatens the moral clarity that grounds our movement and endangers the progress we’ve made through peaceful, principled resistance. Let us be clear: this act does not represent our values. Here in Pennsylvania and Delaware, across the nation, and around the world, millions have raised their voices, marched in the streets, and taken courageous, nonviolent action to demand an end to occupation and injustice. We are people of faith and conscience. We are led by love — for our Creator, for the Prophet, for life, for justice, and for one another.
