(COLUMBUS, OH, 8/9/2022) – The Ohio chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Ohio) today condemned the distribution of flyers promoting the racist Ku Klux Klan (KKK) to homes in Worthington, Ohio.
The flyers, which reportedly depicted a KKK logo and featured a website address, were discovered by several Worthington residents on their property. Worthington police have been notified about the flyers and many residents said they have cameras outside their door, but so far, no sightings of whoever was behind the flyers have been reported.

“The distribution of these hateful flyers represents a despicable attempt to intimidate,” said CAIR-Ohio Acting Executive Director Amina Barhumi. “We condemn this incident and urge law enforcement authorities to be swift and thorough in their investigation.”
She said CAIR and the American Muslim community stand in solidarity with all those challenging antisemitism, anti-Black racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and white supremacy.
