In reply to the discussion: University of California Campuses Roiled Over Claims Of Anti-Israel Bias [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)recently in Chapel Hill eg. We have members of Congress demanding that Muslim students be denied visas.
Other members of Congress demanding, publicly and to standing ovations, the all Muslims be 'removed from this society'.
We have an entire TV channel, not to mention all the talk radio shows, attacking Muslims daily.
And our government agencies, see NYC, spying on entire communities of Muslim Americans.
I could go on, but if you don't already see it, you probably won't anyhow.
The ACLU among others, have expressed dire concerns in the rise of dangerous anti-Muslim rhetoric and hate speech since 9/11.
As for the student you are concerned about, no one should be subjected to any kind of bias in this country.
But they are. African Americans, Muslims, Mexicans especially.
There are haters everywhere. But to claim that Muslims are not on the hate lists of many Americans, is simply wrong.
