A cross-burning incident in Horry County over the Thanksgiving weekend has attracted the attention of the nation’s largest Muslum civil rights and advocacy organization, which, along with the NAACP, is calling for South Carolina to adopt a hate-crimes law.
A spokesman for The Council on American-Islamic Relations, also known as CAIR, called the incident “deeply disturbing.”
“We urge lawmakers to take action to join the rest of the nation in passing such legislation,” Ibrahim Hooper, the group’s national communications director, said in a news release.

..."Horry County Chief Joseph Hill on Thursday called the incident “appalling and unacceptable” and said it will not be tolerated in Horry County.
Earlier this week, a spokesperson for the NAACP South Carolina State Conference of Branches said in a statement to News13 that “citizens cannot turn a blind eye to the prevalence of racial discrimination and hate crimes.”
“These heinous acts not only harm individuals but also spread intolerance and division, tearing apart the fabric of our society,” the spokesperson said. “We must stand together to take a strong and unwavering stance against such behavior, ensuring that the safety and well-being of all community members are protected.“
