Eight days after Gov. DeSantis branded CAIR a “foreign terrorist organization” by executive order, the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights group filed a federal lawsuit challenging the designation as unconstitutional. DeSantis welcomed the suit, saying he looked forward to “discovery — especially the CAIR finances.”
Two mosques in the German city of Hannover were defaced with graffiti apparently in support of the Israeli military’s campaign in Gaza. The attacks are part of a documented and accelerating wave of Islamophobia across Europe that United Voices has been tracking — from Ireland to the Netherlands to France to Germany.
When the Winooski School District in Vermont raised the Somali flag to show support for its Somali students after President Trump publicly attacked Somali communities in Minnesota, the school was immediately flooded with racist slurs, threats, and calls saying ‘We’re coming for you.’ United Voices is documenting what happens when a school tries to stand with its students.
Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an executive order designating CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as “foreign terrorist organizations” — a designation the federal government has not made. That same evening, he told Florida lawmakers to make it permanent law. CAIR called it unconstitutional and announced plans to sue.
Jewish leaders and Democrats are calling Florida’s proposed Shari’a ban hypocritical and unconstitutional. The bill’s sponsor and sole Democratic co-sponsor are both Jewish and pro-Israel. Critics say the bill, filed on the Oct 7 anniversary, amounts to collective punishment of Florida’s Muslim community.
Across Texas, Florida, and other states, anti-Muslim networks have been monitoring Muslim Student Association social media to track campus events — then showing up uninvited to harass students while they pray, film them without consent, and in one case burn a Quran. United Voices has written to more than 2,000 university leaders demanding immediate action to protect Muslim students.
The New York Post was forced to correct an article falsely claiming a Muslim civil rights organization funded the Zohran Mamdani mayoral campaign — the second time this year the Murdoch-owned outlet has had to walk back false anti-Muslim claims. United Voices is documenting the pattern and warning that there is a fine line between bigotry and defamation.
