(Anadolu) The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) warned American Muslims on Tuesday against traveling to France, saying they may face danger and discrimination there.
The country’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization issued a travel advisory on its website “amid the French government’s ‘hypocritical and dangerous’ campaign of Islamophobic bigotry targeting French Muslims, mosques and Islamic organizations.”
It cited a racist stabbing attack on two Muslim women in Paris and legal prohibitions on religious attire.
In a statement, CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad called on the French government to end its “irrational, illegal and hypocritical campaign of bigotry against its own citizens.”
