Record Surge in Anti-Muslim Hate Crimes Reported in the U.S.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) reveals a significant increase in anti-Muslim incidents, marking the highest number in 30 years.

CAIR's 2024 Civil Rights Report documents a 56% increase in anti-Muslim hate reports, with a notable 419% rise in hate crimes.
The spike in Islamophobia is linked to the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, with CAIR calling the Israeli actions in Gaza a genocide.
Incidents of anti-Muslim hate surged following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, with significant pressure on U.S. cities to call for a ceasefire.
Educational and employment discrimination against Muslims also saw sharp increases, alongside a rise in antisemitic hate crimes.
CAIR urges U.S. officials to call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and to respect free speech on Palestine in schools and workplaces.
