The primary suspect in the murder of four Muslim men in a New Mexico city was arrested by US police on Tuesday.

Detectives in Albuquerque had asked the public for help in solving the mystery surrounding the men's violent deaths, all of whom were from South Asia.

The appeal came after the discovery of a body near a refugee services office last week, with investigators saying the murder could be linked to three others last year.

They released a photo of a car they believed was used in the crime.

Albuquerque police chief Harold Medina announced, on Monday, a possible breakthrough on his Twitter account.

"We tracked down the vehicle believed to be involved in a recent murder of a Muslim man in Albuquerque," he wrote. "The driver was detained and he is our primary suspect for the murders."

Racism and hate crime in the US has been increasing, particularly post-9/11 and upon the rise of White nationalism. Black communities, Asians, Hispanics, and Muslim communities have all experienced a form of discrimination and hatred in one way or another - or, even systemic prosecution and killing.

Pro-Israeli organizations fund anti-Muslim hate groups in US

Charities enjoying ties with Jewish families and unions, according to a January report on the flow of tax-deducted donations to organizations, have been funding anti-Muslim groups as identified by a Muslim civil rights lobby. 

“Islamophobia in the Mainstream” is the title of the report which was published by the Council on American-Islamic Relations - a civil rights group and political lobby critical of "Israel".

1000+ anti-Muslim financiers 

CAIR analyzed 50 charities that were at the top of the list of some 1,100 anti-Muslim financiers identified in a report in 2021 to find out that 35 foundations hold responsibility for nearly $106 million funneled to 26 anti-Muslim groups between 2017 to 2019.

Although the number is lower than in previous years, it is indicative of how Islamophobia continues to enjoy funding in the US, according to CAIR. 

No less than five funders of the list provided are outspoken Jews, while many other foundations are private family foundations notorious for their support for "Israel".

Support for pro-"Israel" extremist groups

CAIR confirmed that the propagation of funders tied to Jews also has links to some extremist and right-wing groups with pro-Israeli agenda, which promotes Islamophobia. 

Some of the groups funded were mentioned by name, including the Committee for Accuracy in Reporting the Middle East in America (CAMERA), which received more than $4 million in grants. CAMERA identifies itself as a media watchdog fighting anti-Israeli bias. 

Another name was the David Horowitz Freedom Center, which, according to CAIR, engages in media lobbying and anti-Muslim disinformation, and the American Freedom Defense Initiative, which is led by Pamela Geller. The AFDI is notorious for its "racist advertising campaigns."
