Basim Elkarra, executive director of CAIR-Action, said Greenblatt’s comments “are not only misleading—they risk stoking division at a time when New Yorkers need unity.”
“Subjecting Muslim elected officials to such bigotry is dishonest, dangerous, and diverts attention from substantive policy issues,” said Elkarra. “We urge all public figures to condemn Jonathan Greenblatt and others who attempt to inflame bigotry against American Muslims engaged in politics.”
