California Just Took a Bold Stand Against Islamophobia
Some may dismiss this as symbolic, or some kind of political correctness oppression. IMHO really it’s an outreach by California to be a better place for us all.
California’s State Assembly has taken a strong stand against a rising climate of Islamophobia in America.
On Monday, the Assembly passed a resolution that declared August 2016 as Muslim Appreciation and Awareness Month, as part of an effort to acknowledge the “myriad invaluable contributions of Muslim Americans in California and across the country.”
The resolution (HR-59) was introduced by Assemblymember Bill Quirk and passed with bipartisan support, according to NBC.
