Cleveland’s 2019 police officer of the year is under investigation for a series of anti-Semitic social media posts that include praise for Adolf Hitler and the Hamas terrorist organization.
Ismail Quran is under investigation by the Cleveland police internal affairs unit for posting "inappropriate social media content," a department spokesman told the Washington Free Beacon on Monday.
Ismail Quran is under investigation by the Cleveland police internal affairs unit for posting "inappropriate social media content," a department spokesman told the Washington Free Beacon on Monday.
Quran has posted several anti-Semitic messages on social media, including a "salute to Hitler the great" and messages threatening violence against Jewish people, according to tweets provided by Canary Mission, a watchdog group that tracks anti-Semitic activity online.
The controversy surrounding Quran comes amid a nationwide spike in anti-Semitic hate crimes that Jewish community groups have deemed a pressing emergency. The presence of anti-Semitic individuals on the nation's police forces is stoking concerns that these crimes are going unaddressed and pushed to the back-burner as more high-profile race-related crimes dominate the headlines.
The Cleveland police department hired Quran in 2018, several years after most of the public tweets were issued. Quran was presented with a belated 2019 officer of the year award in November 2021, more than a year after Canary Mission first exposed many of Quran’s anti-Semitic posts. At the award ceremony, the department said "Officer Ismail Quran has truly embodied the community policing philosophy for the Cleveland Division of Police." The Cleveland police department is facing allegations it tried to sweep the controversy under the rug and ignore Quran’s bigotry. The officer is "assigned to administrative duties" while the investigation is underway.

Ismail Quran is an antisemite??????
Gee......I didn’t see that coming......who knew???
Right. He’s a mooslem. What do you expect.
The question is will his muslimness protect him from his Naziness.
But but, I thought the idea was to be “inclusive”. I am sure that is at least 50% of the reason they hired Ismail Quran in the first place. Well that “inclusiveness” would/should include not only his race but his religion and beliefs wouldn’t it? Hmm?
He must be a white nationalist
Or maybe not
Methinks Ismail Quran's selection may have been an affirmative Action pick.
It’s just his ‘culture.’ What’s the problem?!
Lol. His last name is literally Quran. That’s like having the last name Black Panther, LGBTQ or Antifa… of course he’s a hater.
Go with an affirmative action officer of the year and you might end up with a dud. Goes with the territory. “Ismail Quran”? Seriously?
Wouldn’t it be delicious if he were a homo and drag queen to boot? We would enjoy watching the left tie itself in knots figuring out which part of him to praise and lift up and which parts of him to destroy and tear down.
I would go so far as to say I did nazi that coming.
Had the officer been a white from a Christian background, and had he expressed similar sentiments, he would be off the police force quicker than you can say Jack Robinson. The local DA might find some grounds for prosecution, and even if the DA didn’t do so, the former officer would likely have to flee Cleveland due to leftist harassment.
LOL!!!!!
Next they’re gonna tell us barack hussein obama is NOT a muslim.
I guess sometimes you CAN judge a book by its cover.
SMH
Those dang Irish Cops always causing problems
Before I even read the details, I knew the officer was a Muslim. White cops in Cleveland making officer of the year? Hahaha.
But they will still somehow chalk this up to white supremacy
I'm shocked I tell you. /sarcasm
