Dear Friends,
I wouldn’t be surprised if your in-boxes – like mine – are still flooded with talk of ISIS, terror, and refugees facing a worsening humanitarian crisis. With this, we see rising fear and exploding acts of hatred and Islamophobia. This is a time for action. We can derail the anti-Muslim violence and hate that’s showing up in schools, at home and in our neighborhoods.
This January, Tanenbaum shares another practical resource for use in daily life, in a classroom or with your congregation.
- Explaining Extremism and Addressing Islamophobia: Five practical steps about how parents and educators can explain extremism and address Islamophobia.
- QUESTIONS for Students and Educators: A question sheet that may be used alongside Explaining Extremism and Addressing Islamophobia.
Read, download, and share! Challenge students and children to ask questions, research the answers, and take action by starting a discussion within your community or family about Islamophobia. Take this to your house of worship and learn more about your neighbors.
Together, let’s work to prevent violent extremism. Peace begins with us.
With great hope for 2016,
Joyce S. Dubensky,
CEO
