“The primary objective of the ADC-RI Media Research Project is to research, track, and document anti-Arab and Islamophobic bias in the media, public discourse, and from public officials. This tracking project will serve as a resource tool which will highlight the prevalence of bias and bigotry. The project will expose xenophobia and hatred that target minorities in the U.S., particularly Arab and Muslim Americans.
The project will also celebrate achievements of Arabs and Muslims from around the world.”
On Oct. 16 an Arab-American of Palestinian origin who was only 6 years old was stabbed to death by his own landlord because he was Arab. He was targeted for a tragedy he did not commit only because he was from the same place as somebody else. In the eyes of the man who murdered him, he’s just as guilty of attacking anything associated with the West. It is the same sentiment that motivated the hate crimes against Arabs post-9/11.
