Singling Out Muslims Furthers ISIS Interests | Media Mentions
June 16, 2017
Op-Eds
First, we are dismayed that the topic of addressing violent extremism is being discussed with a narrow-scope focus almost exclusively on the Muslim community. The singling out of Muslims in this manner only breeds fear, cements a narrative of a cosmic war between Islam against the West, and flies in the face of actual trends of domestic violent extremism.
Quotes & Mentions
“It is great cause for alarm that neither of the panelists who purport to understand the American Muslim experience have any demonstrable experience working with American Muslim communities,” MPAC wrote. “If they had, they would know that American Muslims across the nation work tirelessly to make our country safer, provide essential services to their congregations, and contribute to the prosperity of our society.”
"The US Constitution Does Not Have to Be a Suicide Pact" (Foreign Policy)
“The singling out of Muslims in this manner only breeds fear, cements a narrative of a cosmic war between Islam against the West, and flies in the face of actual trends of domestic violent extremism,” said the Muslim Public Affairs Council, an advocacy organization, in a submitted statement. “All violent extremists, whether it’s ISIS or white supremacist terrorists, seek to accomplish the very same goal: to divide our world along binary lines.”
