(Washington Times) Complaints involving bias against American Muslims fell 23% in 2022, the Council on American-Islamic Relations reported Tuesday, 5,156 versus 6,720 the year before.
The overall decline, CAIR said, “is the sharpest single-year change” since 2017, when a 32% increase in complaints was recorded “in the first year of Donald Trump’s presidency.”
And while complaints about what the District of Columbia-based advocacy group called “law enforcement and government overreach” were down 38% in 2022, they said reports of school-related incidents rose 63% last year.
The CAIR report tracks a wide range of complaints about the ways in which American Muslims say they are treated, including law enforcement interactions, immigration complaints and workplace issues.
