Political Influence Operation
Date: May 8, 2010
Description:
CAIR called on national Republican leaders to repudiate campaign advertisements released by Dan Fanelli, a Florida GOP Republican candidate for Congress.
CAIR said the ads “advocate racial profiling and promote Islamophobia.”
CAIR-Tampa Executive Director Ramzy Kiliç called the ads “overt racism.”
CAIR National Legislative Director Corey Saylor called the ads “outrageously racist and Islamophobic” and called on local, state and national GOP leaders to condemn “such racist and un-American campaign tactics.”
