“We welcome the arrest of this suspect and thank police for their swift and professional actions,” said CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper. “We hope this arrest will help determine a motive for the vandalism.”
He noted that South Carolina does not have hate crime legislation, but Charleston passed a hate intimidation ordinance in 2018.
CAIR has reported an unprecedented spike in bigotry targeting American Muslims, immigrants and members of other minority groups since the election of Donald Trump as president.
