American Jews Are Speaking Out Against Anti-Muslim Ads
THE AMERICAN MUSLIM
by Sheila Musaji
A few days ago, I wrote an article All extremists are “savages” and “civilized men” need to counter the hate calling on the Jewish community to speak out against the message of these AFDI/SIOA ads now running on both coasts. To speak out, not because the whole community is responsible for the actions of some members of that community, but because such hateful speech hurts us all and needs to be marginalized. The voice of the American Jewish community is important in this controversy because the author of the ads is Jewish, and claims that the ads are “pro-Israel”. They were successful in getting this “Islamorealism” ad posted in New York, and it is causing a lot of controversy there. There are a number of Jewish individuals and organizations who are speaking out, and they deserve the appreciation and thanks of the American Muslim community. They are truly engaged in Tikkun Olam (healing the world). [link]
