Man in religious attire attacked days after Trump tells four non-white congresswomen to 'go back' to their own countries.
"Bigotry and xenophobia does not distinguish between Hindus and Muslims, or black or brown skin,""When the U.S. President targets immigrants and refugees and encourages chants of 'send her back' at rallies, this results in real harm inflicted on our communities.
"We are deeply heartbroken by reports of a brutal attack on Swami Harish Chander Puri Ji, priest of the Shiv Shakti Peeth temple in Glen Oaks, Queens, NY. Swami Puri Ji was attacked on Thursday at 11 a.m. by a man who reportedly screamed 'this is my neighborhood.'"The remarks uttered by Swami Puri Ji's attacker are a blatant example of hate speech. Thus, we urge the NYPD to investigate this matter as a hate crime," the statement added.
"We stand by our Hindu brethren during this hardship. No human being should suffer through an assault because of his color or faith," said CAIR-NY Executive Director Afaf Nasher."As hate crimes continue to break record numbers, our President revels in promoting a divisive, racist nation. The president can help our nation heal if he wanted to, but he shamefully chooses to stoke flames for his political gain.
