The New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-NY) today issued a referral letter to the NYC Commission on Human Rights asking the commission to investigate whether Laura Loomer (right) , a conservative commentator and creator of ambush videos, violated New York City Human Rights Laws prohibiting discriminatory boycotts, blacklists, and related practices. The New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-NY) today issued a referral letter to the NYC Commission on Human Rights asking the commission to investigate whether Laura Loomer (right) , a conservative commentator and creator of ambush videos, violated New York City Human Rights Laws prohibiting discriminatory boycotts, blacklists, and related practices.

Since when can’t a private citizen express her opinion about a business or service that she finds dangerous?

st, 2017, at 8:40 a.m., Loomer tweeted, “I’m late to the NYPD press conference because I couldn’t find a non Muslim[sic] cab or @Uber @Lyft driver for over 30 min! This is insanity.” CAIR On November 1, 2017, at 8:40 a.m., Loomer tweeted, “I’m late to the NYPD press conference because I couldn’t find a non Muslim[sic] cab or @Uber @Lyft driver for over 30 min! This is insanity.”

Later that day she posted, “Someone needs to create a non Islamic [sic] form of @uber or @lyft because I never want to support another Islamic immigrant driver” and “I generally try to not support Muslim owned business companies [sic] here in NY.”

These statements, if true, suggest that Loomer refused or cancelled rides when she perceived the driver was Muslim. Loomer has expressed similar sentiments in recent months.

Last month, she tweeted that Uber drivers “commit terror attacks and rape on the daily.” In early June, she tweeted asking how many people are “going to be killed in Jihad” by Uber drivers. (See links at bottom)

NYC’s Human Rights Law makes it illegal for a person to “refuse to buy from, sell to or trade with, any person, because of such person’s actual or perceived. . .creed.” The law also provides for civil penalties of up to $250,000 for discriminatory conduct that is intentional or wanton.

The commission has the authority to initiate investigations into claims of discrimination based on reports from the public, such as the referral letter sent by CAIR-NY today.

“The Supreme Court may be willing to ignore anti-Muslim bias, but our city must remain committed to fighting bigotry,” said CAIR-NY Legal Director Albert Cahn. “There simply should be no place in New York for anti-Muslim workplace discrimination.

Sadly, the Commission’s own data shows that 72 percent of harassment, discrimination and hate crimes go unreported. That is why it’s essential for organizations like CAIR-NY to combat all forms of harassment and discrimination.

New Yorkers have the right to say and believe whatever they want, no matter how biased. But our law is clear, you cannot boycott or discriminate against businesses because of their religion.”
