Corey Saylor is the Research Director at the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a leading U.S.-based Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization. In this capacity, he oversees the production of CAIR's annual Islamophobia reports, which compile data on anti-Muslim incidents, hate crimes, discriminatory legislation, and public rhetoric targeting Muslims. These reports, published yearly since at least the early 2010s, serve as key resources for journalists, policymakers, and activists tracking trends in Islamophobia across the United States. Saylor's work emphasizes empirical analysis of bias incidents, media coverage, and political actions. He has been a prominent voice in CAIR's research and communications efforts, frequently cited in major news outlets such as The New York Times, Washington Post, and CNN for providing statistics and context on anti-Muslim sentiment. He has investigated networks promoting Islamophobia, including adversarial scrutiny of figures like Robert J. Shillman, a philanthropist linked to anti-Islam advocacy groups. While CAIR as an organization faces criticism and designations as controversial by some government entities and watchdogs (e.g., accused of ties to Islamist groups), Saylor's role centers on data collection and advocacy for civil liberties. His contributions extend to public education and countering misinformation, positioning him as a key figure in efforts to document and combat discrimination against American Muslims.
