ING Addressed Roots of Bigotry Against Muslims at Racists Anonymous Meeting
ING Executive Director Maha Elgenaidi addressed the roots of bigotry against Muslims and how it relates to misrepresentations of Muslim women in American popular culture to a Racists Anonymous group at St. Mark’s Church in Santa Clara. Racists Anonymoususes a weekly 12-Step recovery group meeting designed to redefine and end racism. All people are welcome. The audience asked incisive questions about the diverse practices of Muslims in places like Afghanistan and how some of those practices can or cannot be reconciled with the liberal teachings of Islam on women’s rights. They also discussed ways to challenge bigotry against American Muslims today. To book an ING presentation, visit our site.
