Radical Islamic front group CAIR will hold a conference in Washington DC, on Islamophobia and Anti-Americanism: Causes and Remedies.
You see, the West is plagued by “anti-Muslim bigotry,” which naturally leads to “anti-American sentiments” in the Islamic world. And CAIR, three of whose former officials and employees have been arrested and indicted on terrorism charges, is only trying to help.
Beginning May 13, 2005, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) will host a unique and timely three-day conference, “Islamophobia and Anti-Americanism: Causes and Remedies,” in Washington, D.C.
CAIR’s 2005 annual conference brings together scholars, researchers, religious leaders, and community activists to discuss issues related to the twin phenomena of growing anti-Muslim bigotry in the West and increasing anti-American sentiments in the Islamic world.
Conference participants will take part in sessions focusing on:
— Islamophobia and Anti-Americanism in the Media
— The Impact of Islamophobia and Anti-Americanism on Civil Rights and Policy-Making
— Anti-Americanism and U.S. Foreign Policy
— Islam and American Relations with the Muslim World
— Misconceptions about Christians and Muslims in Public Discourse
— Reasserting Mainstream Religious Values
“CAIR’s long-term vision is to be a leading advocate for justice and mutual understanding,” said CAIR Board Chairman Omar Ahmad.
