CAIR-FL is targeted by Islamophobes and is being sued because they see us as one of the greatest threats to Islamophobia! Now more than ever, we need you to stand with us as we continue the fight against Islamophobes and the hate they spread that ultimately leads to discrimination, hate crimes, and violence!
Thanks to your support, CAIR-FL has grown into one of the largest protectors of Muslims in America, civil rights, and justice. This has made us one of the biggest targets for those who hate Islam and Muslims.
One of the leading promoters of anti-Muslim hate in the US, Laura Loomer just filed a lawsuit against CAIR-FL, claiming that we got her kicked off Twitter, where she used to spread anti-Muslim hate to her hundreds of thousands of followers. She recently just got banned from Facebook and Instagram too!
She is targeting us because she sees us as an effective force in the fight against Islamophobia and in the fight to protect the Muslim community and preserve civil rights and justice for all!
Islamophobes sue CAIR-FL because they see us as a powerful force fighting Islamophobia and protecting the community. They hope to drain our resources and time away from our mission as the first and last line of defense for our community.
Let's make them think twice about ever suing us again by helping us raise $500,000 this Ramadan in response to their baseless lawsuit! CAIR-FL will use a small portion of these funds to defend ourselves and fight back against the Islamophobes, but for every dollar we spend defending ourselves CAIR-FL is committing to spend $20 defending our community and those who face hate crimes or discrimination for practicing Islam.
Let the Islamophobes see the support the community has for CAIR-FL and let them see that their law suit against us has led to $500,000 being raised to protect us and help us protect the community!
Your support will go towards supporting the tremendous work CAIR-FL does all year including:

Federal Court Rules That Anti-Muslim Activist Laura Loomer Fraudulently Joined CAIR-Florida in Lawsuit
(MIAMI, FL, 10/22/19) – The Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Florida), the state’s largest Muslim civil rights advocacy organization, today welcomed the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida’s order dismissing a lawsuit filed by anti-Muslim right-wing activist Laura Loomer against CAIR-Florida.
The court determined that the Florida civil rights organization was fraudulently joined in the lawsuit against Twitter and CAIR’s national headquarters in Washington, D.C. which is still litigating the matter. CAIR-Florida was represented by Intellectual Property Attorneys Darren and Kain Spielman.
In his order, United States District Judge Rodolfo Ruiz wrote in part:
“Because Plaintiffs do not plead any facts supporting a claim against CAIR Florida, nor offer any evidence to rebut Defendants’ contention of fraudulent joinder, there is no possibility that a state court would find the Amended Complaint states a cause of action against CAIR Florida.”
READ ORDER DENYING MOTION: https://app.box.com/s/8iib8cgibzffij7rh82001ysfbcdknbj
CAIR-Florida’s civil rights attorney, Omar Saleh, stated:
“We’re pleased the court acknowledges that CAIR-Florida was fraudulently joined in this lawsuit. If one reads the complaint filed by Ms. Loomer, it can’t be mistaken for anything other than rantings of an individual’s irrational hatred of CAIR and Muslims. It includes baseless allegations that CAIR-Florida conspired with CAIR in Washington, D.C., and Twitter to tortuously interfere with a business, which unfortunately profits on disseminating hateful anti-Muslim rhetoric.”
The attorney added that such conduct, “. . .serves no purpose in our society and should not be a way to make money; it’s definitely not journalism and there is much more important work to be doing.”
