Watch: The secret war behind the 'war on terror'

| New
Narrative for 9-11 and Muslim Americans |
|
|
While post-9/11 resulted in necessary Western government responses to counter international and domestic terrorism, this tragic event has been widely exploited by far-right neocons, hardline Christian Zionist Right and xenophobic forces. Islam and mainstream Muslims have been brush-stroked with "terrorism," equated with the actions of a fraction of violent extremists. Major polls by Gallup, PEW and others reported the extent to which many Americans and Europeans had and have a problem not only with terrorists but also with Islam and all Muslims.
Islamophobia grew exponentially, as witnessed in America's 2008 presidential and 2010 congressional elections, Park 51 and post-Park 51 anti-mosque and so-called anti-Shariah campaigns, as well as increased hate speech and violence. The massacre in Norway is a tragic signal of this metastasizing social cancer. Anders Behring Breivik's 1500-page manifesto confirmed the influence of the hate speech spread by American anti-Muslim (Islamophobic) leaders, organizations and websites.

Keith Ellison
representing the 5th Congressional District of Minnesota in the U.S. House of Representatives,
taking the oath of office on a copy of the Quran.

Faith: US
Congressman Keith Ellison |
|
Prior to 2006, few people even knew that
then-Minnesota state legislator Keith Ellison was a Muslim. Because of his
English name, he said, no one thought to ask.
But five years ago, when he ran for a seat in the United States House of
Representatives - a race he would go on to win - word of his religious
affiliation began to spread.
"When I started running for Congress it actually took me by surprise that
so many people were fascinated with me being the first Muslim in Congress,"
said Ellison, a Democrat now serving his third term in the House.
"But someone said to me, 'Look Keith, think of a person of Japanese origin
running for Congress six years after Pearl Harbor-this might be a news
story.'"
Though Ellison's status as the first Muslim elected to Congress is widely known,
fewer are aware that he was born into a Catholic family in Detroit and was
brought up attending Catholic schools.
