In Virginia, the hotel hosting Saturday’s annual banquet of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, canceled the event after receiving violent threats. CAIR said anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian extremists issued death and bomb threats against the Crystal Gateway Marriott Hotel. The event is being relocated with additional security. CAIR said in a statement, “We will not allow the threats of anti-Palestinian racists and anti-Muslim bigots who seek to dehumanize the Palestinian people and silence American Muslims to stop us from pursuing justice for all.”
