The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) released its annual civil rights report, revealing a significant increase in anti-Muslim bias incidents in 2023. Last year, CAIR received 8,061 complaints, marking the highest number in the 28 years that CAIR has been tracking hate incidents.
The report highlighted that the surge in complaints was largely attributed to the Israel-Hamas war that began in October 2023. Over 44% of the total complaints were reported in the last three months of the year.
