“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.”
President Joe Biden’s announcement during his State of the Union address Thursday that he would have U.S. troops build a temporary port off the coast of the Gaza Strip to get more humanitarian aid into the war-torn region failed to sway many of his critics in Michigan’s large Arab American and Muslim communities demanding an Israeli cease-fire.
