Berkeley-CAIR Islamophobia Report: ‘No There, There’

UCB/CAIR Report

Stephen Schwartz, writing for Campus Watch, reports on the latest in “Islamophobia production” to emanate from the University of California, Berkeley, in league with the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). His article appears today at American Thinker:

In April, Berkeley’s Law School, also known as Boalt Hall, cosponsored a conference with the University’s Center for Race and Gender (CRG) on “Islamophobia Production and Re-Defining Global ‘Security’ Agenda for the 21st Century.” The event followed a divisive March seminar at the University’s Hastings law campus in San Francisco, “Litigating Palestine,” which was little more than a forum for anti-Israel bombast. On June 23, America’s premier Islamist organization, the Council for American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), unveiled a report prepared in cooperation with UCB-CRG’s Islamophobia Research and Documentation Project (IRDP) titled, “Same Hate, New Target: Islamophobia and Its Impact in the United States.”

. . . “Same Hate, New Target” is a garish political pamphlet, filled with splashy graphics and panic-mongering rhetoric. Its message is distinct: while the East Coast Islamist enablers focus on prettifying the condition of American Muslims, West Coast denizens concentrate on the American Muslim as a victim of the Republican political agenda, in need of “positive” assistance.
