Panel seeks to end racial, religious prejudice
The Oklahoma State Chapter of Amnesty International is taking strides to combat racial and religious prejudice this Saturday.
"Islamophobia: A Conference on American-Islamic Relations," will feature panelists discussing Muslim-Christian relations, women's rights in Islam, Muslim political concerns and other issues associated with Islam in America. The conference will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Murray Hall 035, with catering from the House of Greek.
In light of the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, the event addresses national and worldwide changes in the treatment of Muslims. Matthew Alexander, former head of U.S. military interrogations in Iraq, will discuss the effects of Islamophobic practices on national security in a keynote address.
Uh oh, that means what I write might compromise national security. Welcome to 1984 via 2011.
Admission is free and open to the public. Reservations can be made at stopislamophobiaok@gmail.com.
