Rally participants also condemned hate crimes against members of minority communities, deportations of immigrants and the expansion of the US-Mexico border wall.
"Inciting
fear, emboldening intolerance and targeting marginalized communities does not
help keep our nation safe," said CAIR Maryland Outreach Manager Zainab
Chaudry. "Our goal for this peaceful demonstration is to provide a space
for Maryland's impacted communities and our allies to gather in solidarity."
CAIR is
America's largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization. Its mission
is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil
liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice
and mutual understanding.
