ISLAMOPHOBIA - RESPONSES TO ISLAMOPHOBIA AND EXTREMISM
NOTE: We have had as part of our Muslim Voices against Terrorism and Extremism resources a section on responses to Islamophobia. This was in five parts: - Responses to Claims Made ABOUT Islam and Muslims in General - Responses to Claims Made ABOUT Qur’an Verses, Arabic Terms, Prophet Muhammad - Responses to False Claims ABOUT Muslim Individuals & Organizations & Incidents Involving Muslims - Responses to Actual Extremist Statements & Incidents of Extremism or violence BY Muslims - Responses to Claims Made BY Specific Individuals and Organizations About Muslims. Because of a restriction in the possible length of articles, we were unable to organize these in a more user-friendly manner. Our webmaster has now resolved this problem, and we have combined all these five sections into one section. The entries are alphabetical, and it should now be much easier to locate a response to a particular issue, incident, or individual. In order to keep load time down for our readers, this single resource will still be divided into two sections: A to L, and M to Z. Sheila Musaji 3/5/2010.

ACTION - There are many items listed in our ACTION section that allow individuals to take a stand on important issues. Some of these issues of importance to the Muslim community have very surprisingly received little attention. We update this with new action alerts regularly.
Articles from print issues of TAM going online. You may have noticed that we have been able to get volunteers to help get all of the old articles from the print issues of TAM scanned, retyped, and edited, and are working hard to get these online a few at a time. Wherever you see an * after an article that is one of the old issues from 1989 to 1995. What is fascinating is how many are still relevant.
