Re: Islamophobia
One of our family friends had a cigarette flung on her while waiting outside for a ride this week - and this is an elderly women. With all of the other shameful and hateful acts being committed on Muslims, I am just wondering how do we counter react? Muslims seem to have it doubly scary where on one hand were fearful with the rest of the world about attacks being carried out anytime and on the other being held responsible in the eyes of the public for something we have no part in. How can we counter Islamophobia in the west? Are we doing enough or should we be doing more to counter this hateful rhetoric in a productive way? What do those solutions/actions look like? There was a Washington vigil that was held this evening for the victims in the Paris attacks but it recieved no coverage. What else can we do? Like many I am just trying to make sense of everything happening as a result of what happened in Paris and just want to know how other people here feel.
Sorry if this is a repeat thread, please merge if so..
Have you never seen or heard about the Muslims spreading hate against the west while living in western countries?
