CAIR National has retained an outside firm to investigate the allegations related to workplace misconduct as well as any allegations of abuse of power and spiritual abuse tied to any leader’s role with CAIR. 19/22 — PolitiTweet.org

The office I lead, CAIR - San Francisco Bay Area, has 20 staff, 10 board members, and hundreds of volunteers, including numerous women in addition to myself and people of various backgrounds and beliefs. This is true also for CAIR California and the larger CAIR network. 17/22 — PolitiTweet.org

I can personally confirm that CAIR California strives to hold every member of our team to the highest standards of personal and professional conduct. We also take allegations of gender discrimination, sexual harassment, and spiritual abuse very seriously. 16/12 — PolitiTweet.org

With a national network of organizations of our size, there will inevitably be employees that do not have a positive experience and yet that is different from what is alleged here. 15/22 — PolitiTweet.org

Running an organization, where you are responding to emergencies daily, is an incredibly difficult and complex thing to do. 14/22 — PolitiTweet.org

The allegations about Hassan aside, the broader allegations referenced in the the article do not reflect the culture or character of the organization I have spent nearly 12 years co-building alongside numerous sisters and brothers. 13/22 — PolitiTweet.org

When we learned about the specific and egregious allegations against Hassan in December, CAIR executed the necessary processes and took swift action. Hassan is no longer employed at CAIR Florida, despite continuing to contest the claims made against him. 12/22 — PolitiTweet.org

At the same time, I found the NPR article to be incredibly insufficient and irresponsible. The references to CAIR and the chapters in the article are problematically vague, suggestive, and painted with the broadest of brushes. 11/22 — PolitiTweet.org

These efforts are long, hard, and often painful. The real work does not happen in chat groups or on social media. It happens forcefully and meaningfully at the hands of advocates, stakeholders, and, most importantly, survivors. 9/22 — PolitiTweet.org

It has been paramount to us to ensure the safety of complainants, to investigate the allegations, to reach just resolutions, and to ensure we have clear protocols in place in case of future allegations. 8/22 — PolitiTweet.org

The past few months, prior to this publication, have been incredibly distressing. I believe survivors. As a woman and long-time advocate for women in our community, I am personally impacted by these issues. 6/22 — PolitiTweet.org

It pains me to share that NPR recently published a story centered around allegations of misconduct and spiritual abuse against Hassan Shibly, the former CAIR Florida director. 5/22 — PolitiTweet.org

Back then, I was doing the legal advice and representation all by myself. Today, when I say I connected this person to our legal team, I mean five other experienced attorneys who work full time to protect the Bay Area’s Muslim community. 8/9 — PolitiTweet.org

The agent who visited this person has been targeting American Muslims for over a decade. I recognized his name from my early days taking these cases. The difference between his 2010 visits and today? 7/9 — PolitiTweet.org
