Worth a campaign??
Edited on Sun Jul-10-05 09:59 AM by justinsb
I'd like your opinion on this: Do you think it's worth the time and effort to try to get US and some international media to stop using words like Muslim, Islamic and Arab in association with words like militant and terrorist. In other words, phrases like "Muslim Terrorist", "Islamic Fundamentalist", etc., I think using these words together helps breed stereotypes and racism amoung people who rarely hear these words in any other context. Thoughts?

Peace,
Justin
