CAIR-OH Calls for Hate Crime Probe into Islamophobic Letter Sent to Muslim Woman’s Home

(COLUMBUS, OH, 4/16/2025) – The Ohio chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-OH) today called for a hate crime probe into an Islamophobic and threatening letter sent to a Muslim University of Cincinnati student’s home.

The woman, who heads the Students for Justice in Palestine chapter at her college, received a long letter filled with anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian insults. She recently moved to the house to which the letter was sent, and the address wasn’t on her license, BMV records, or White Pages. The woman went to campus police and the Warren County Sheriff’s Office, who told her to get “bear mace” and remain hypervigilant.

In a statement, CAIR-OH Columbus |Cincinnati |Dayton Executive Director, Khalid Turaani said:

“We call on UC and local law enforcement to investigate this incident as a hate crime. Ignoring these threats in this atmosphere of intimidation of pro-Palestinian voices emboldens bigots. These threats cannot be allowed to escalate to violence against students protesting the genocide in Palestine.”

CAIR is America’s largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization, with three offices in Ohio – Cincinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland. The organization is dedicated to enhancing understanding of Islam, protecting civil rights, promoting justice, and empowering American Muslims.

La misión de CAIR es proteger las libertades civiles, mejorar la comprensión del Islam, promover la justicia, y empoderar a los musulmanes en los Estados Unidos.
