On November 4, 2021, Ismail Quran was honored by the Cleveland Police Department and awarded with the 2019 Officer of the Year award at the Cleveland Division of Police Awards. At the same award ceremony, Quran received the Distinguished Service Medal.
As of May 2022, records showed that Quran was still employed by the City of Cleveland as a Patrol Officer in 2019 and 2018.
Ismail Quran [Ismail W. Quran] has glorified Hitler and spread anti-Semitism as well as anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. Quran has also equated Israel with Nazi Germany and defended the designated terror group Hamas.In November 2017, Quran was a member of a closed Facebook group honoring Osama bin Laden.
As of June 2022, Quran went by the name “Ish Ismail” on Facebook and used the alias “Ish_1988” on Twitter. As of the same date, Quran used the handle “ish__718” and the alias “Ish Ismail” on Instagram.
Here are a few of his many Jew-hating social media posts:
On November 4, 2021, the Cleveland Police presented Ismail Quran with the 2019 Officer of the Year award. Yet, officer Quran promotes antisemitic conspiracy theories, spreads hatred of Jews and glorifies Hitler.
September 6, 2022
On August 31, 2022, Cleveland Mayor Justin M. Bibb and Police Chief Wayne Drummond released a statement addressing the results of the internal investigation into Cleveland Police Officer Ismail Quran.
They stated, “We are frustrated and disappointed that no charges can be filed against Officer Ismail Quran, despite extensive internal investigations by the Cleveland Division of Police (CDP), the City Prosecutor, and the Law Department. Officer Quran’s hateful offenses were communicated years before he was hired, making it impossible to successfully enforce discipline.”
Though this is a strong statement by Cleveland’s leaders, the absence of action is the best outcome that Officer Quran could have hoped for.
While he is undoubtedly pleased that his antisemitism was dismissed on a “technicality,” the Jewish community is left to wonder – would Officer Quran still be employed if he had posted other forms of bigotry?
The lack of any meaningful consequences for Quran sends a disturbing message – discrimination against Jews is tolerated and excused.
- We note that Officer Quran has not issued an apology to the Jewish community. Does he still hold the same opinions? We remain in the dark as to his current views.
- We note that the Cleveland Division of Police did not rescind Quran’s 2019 Officer of the year award. This requires a detailed explanation.
- Finally, we note that the Cleveland Division of Police has offered no assurance that Officer Quran does not present a risk and will not be biased against the Jewish community.

But we all know how Ku Klux Kair would react if it were a Christian who criticized ISIS.

This officer is the correct type of hater…he’s of a protected class and hates the right people so the Democrat cancel culture doesn’t mind.

It’s always been almost impossible to get rid of a rogue cop.

RABID JEW HATER Ismail Quran was honored by the Cleveland Police Department and awarded with the 2019 Officer of the Year award and received the Distinguished Service Medal.
For your safety and for your lives, ALL Jews get out of Cleveland as fast as you can. The City of Cleveland and the Cleveland Police Dept. will NOT protect Jews.
The morally bankrupt, corrupt, dangerous, evil City of Cleveland and their police ADORE God-hater Muslims who want to violently attack Jews.

An example of cowardly disgusting pandering. That sort of crap goes on up in Canuckland as well except the Indians(pow wow type) have a slight edge over the muslims in benefitting from it.

Canada’s indigenous, First Nation People DO NOT seek to Conquer, Rob, Barbarically Mass Murder, Torture, Behead, Gang Rape and Sexually Enslave other people!
All of these horrors are taught by Mohammad, Mohammad’s Quran and Mohammad’s God of DEATH, DESTRUCTION and MASS GENOCIDES of Non-Muslims.
Mohammad’s GOD of ETERNAL DARKNESS.

Linda, I think you misunderstood me. I did not mean to suggest the indigenous were dangerous that Muslims. What I meant is that they are very proficient in complaining about their treatment through history and getting compensation. I should have phased my comment better.
