Hate, Money, Community: Exploring CAP’s Islamophobia Report With Wajahat Ali
The report released in August from the Center for American Progress — “Fear, Inc.: The Roots of the Islamophobia Network in America” – meticulously tunnels through the maze of anti-Islamic sentiment.
Muslims looking for a quick-fix answer or a magic wand that will make Islamophobia go away will have to look elsewhere. There are no solutions here, but that’s a good thing: it forces Muslim individuals and policy makers to shake their complacency, apply their own creative mental rigour and draw up their own strategies.

Mohamed Elibiary, Advisor to the Homeland Security Enterprise advises the Muslim community about Wired Magazine’s, Spenser Ackerman’ s expose on FBI Counter-Terrorism training at Quantico. “As a liaison between the FBI and the Muslim community, I can attest that there is nothing new in Spenser’s reporting and could add volumes more to it of FBI wrongdoings; none the less, it has been disquieting and demoralizing for someone in my position to watch the ripple effects upon our community’s psyche.”
Yerushalmi’s Agenda – A $400,000 Study of Imams’ Beards Pushes Anti-Shariah Movement

British Bigotry – Sayeeda Warsi’s Speech
I remember once collecting for Charity Week with another sister a few years ago at university and observing the countenance of a woman as she walked pass reading my t-shirt. As soon as she saw the word ‘Islamic’, the expression on her face turned into one of horror and disgust as she walked away from us even faster than she was at the time. Whenever I look back on that, I think about WHY she did that.
