The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith is an organization that fights anti-Semitism and bigotry. It was founded in 1918 and has 29 offices domestically and 3 offices abroad. It spends over $40 million a year to combat discrimination against Jewish-Americans.

Although the Anti-Defamation League has not worked together with Arab-American and Muslim-American civil rights group (owing to disagreement concerning the Israeli-Palestine conflict), the Anti-Defamation League has on numerous occassions publicly condemned slurs against Islam. Nevertheless, some have criticized the Anti-Defamation League for allegedly suppressing free speech and the right of ethnic minorities to defend themselves from bigotry (including Black Muslims and Arabs).
