Eid Mubarak from our CAIR-Philadelphia family. Eid-ul-Adha marks the culmination of the sacred pilgrimage of Hajj, when millions gather in Mecca in a powerful reminder of our shared humanity. People of every race, nationality, and background stand side by side in worship, demonstrating that true honor is found not in wealth, status, or titles, but in our character, compassion, and commitment to what is right.
That spirit of unity and shared responsibility is at the heart of our work at CAIR-Philadelphia.
At a time when our communities continue to face challenges, your support helps us defend civil rights, combat bigotry and discrimination, strengthen relationships across communities, and advocate for a more just and compassionate society.
Whether you are celebrating Eid or simply standing alongside those who are, please know how deeply grateful we are for your partnership, trust, and solidarity.

CAIR-Pennsylvania Demands Politicians End ‘Campaign of Hate’ Against American Muslims After Deadly San Diego Mosque Shooting
In a statement, CAIR-Philadelphia Executive Director Ahmet Tekelioglu said:
“Our hearts are with the victims, their families, and the entire San Diego Muslim community mourning this horrific act of violence. No American should fear being targeted while praying in their house of worship or sending their children to an Islamic school. This tragedy did not emerge in a vacuum. For months, we have witnessed public officials, including elected Pennsylvania representatives, media personalities, and online extremists normalize anti-Muslim rhetoric and portray American Muslims as threats rather than neighbors and fellow citizens. Words have consequences, and our leaders must reject hatred before more innocent lives are lost.”
