For this discussion we are going to look closely at a phenomenon called Islamaphobia. Literally, this word means fear of Islam. Nothing more than a form of hatred, discrimination, and "racism," it has led to violent acts against Muslims. Below you will find two videos to watch, and another attachment of the article on Islamaphobia from the section on Islam. After reading the article and watching the two film segments, formulate a response to the following questions:
[Note: This discussion is intended to focus on hatred toward Muslims, please be civil and respectful, and please keep the focus on Islamaphobia. Obviously, there are many kinds of hatred and discrimination in the world today, but refrain from generalizing all hate, or minimizing the focus of the discussion by lumping Islamaphobia in with all the many other variations of hatred.]
1. Do you think the media has an influenced the way Americans view Muslims? Why or why not? How so, or how not?
2. Do you think politicians can cause an increase or decrease in anti-Muslim activity?
3. Is it possible to be "racist" towards Muslims? After all, Islam is a religion that any race can follow, in fact, the majority of Muslims live in SE Asia.
4. What steps can you make, as a human citizen, to eliminate hatred in your life and surroundings?
