After the congressional attack ... human rights organizations call on Muslims in America to "increase their vigilance."

The Council on American-Islamic Relations has warned of the possibility of violence by white extremists, and Muslims may be their next target.

The British Middleeasteye website says that the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a pioneer in the field of civil rights, called on Muslims to "vigil" until the end of the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden, amid the growing threat posed by acts of violence committed by white supremacy groups.

Yesterday, Wednesday, the Council on American-Islamic Relations expressed its concern about the growing threat posed by violence and armed protests in all 50 state capitals, which precede the day of the inauguration, and called for strengthening security in mosques.

Be careful

In a statement, Hudhaifa Shahbaz, Research and Advocacy Coordinator at the Council on American Islamic Relations, said, “Given the real threats of violence in the coming week, we call on all members of the Muslim community to exercise extra caution and avoid government buildings and surrounding areas even after the inauguration of the President Biden, "adding," We also call on religious leaders to reconsider and strengthen the security of mosques, especially those located in state capitals.

Shahbaz urged mosques and other Islamic institutions to take the measures mentioned in the CAIR book, "Best Practices in the Mosque and Community Safety."

Possible acts of violence

According to a report issued by Yahoo News, the FBI expects supporters of outgoing US President Donald Trump to commit acts of violence, and contingency plans have been put in place in anticipation of any major unrest.

The report also pointed to evidence confirming the existence of real threats related to the January 17th of this year in buildings in the states of Michigan and Minnesota.

Members of the far-right Boogaloo movement threatened to organize a nationwide "armed march" towards Capitol Hill in Washington, DC and all 50 state capitals on January 17th.

A riot in Congress

Last week, angry Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building, wandering around its halls shouting and waving flags and banners supporting Trump, linked to far-right groups.

The riots halted congressional deliberations regarding the appeals to Joe Biden's victory in the Electoral College, shortly after Trump supporters stormed the Capitol and clashed with police inside it, seeking to stop the confirmation of Joe Biden's victory in the presidency.

In addition, security officials have warned lawmakers of additional threats that could destabilize the country before Biden's inauguration on January 20.
