New York — The woman was identified Noora Shalas has been reported in a disturbing incident in New York City, according to a video posted today on X.
While reports claim she serves as Director of Government Affairs for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in Kentucky, CAIR says she is no longer affiliated with the organization.
“The person depicted in this video is not an employee of CAIR Kentucky or a director,” said Edward Ahmed Mitchell, a lawyer for the organization. “A woman by the same name served as a volunteer with CAIR Kentucky five years ago. She has not worked with CAIR since then and has no role with our organization.”
Crazed antisemitic woman goes beserk as she screams at Jewish man “I demand Jihad.”

The controversy erupted from posts on X where users claimed Shalash was involved in an altercation in New York City.
She could be heard calling for Jihad before shouting, “I demand Jihad, I want ISIS to kill all of you.”
