The Muslim Ban – Who’s Next??

Today’s U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding the Travel Ban, which we believe to be a Muslim Ban, is a disheartening moment for people dedicated to religious pluralism. At it’s essence, the travel ban targets people of a particular religion. In this case, it’s Muslims… but it leaves open the question – Who’s next?

We have steadfastly opposed the Muslim ban (see A Hidden Impact of the Muslim Ban), and we’ve partnered with others who have joined together in amicus briefs opposing the ban. Today, we joined our friends at the Islamic Networks Group (ING) and it’s Know Your Neighbor Campaign, in issuing Know Your Neighbor: Multifaith Encounters Statement on Travel Ban Supreme Court Ruling.

The statement’s call to dialogue with your neighbor is a call to action. And one place where you can start is our Guidelines for Conducting Open Conversations, a “how-to” guide to help you share and discuss all of our Combating Extremism resources.

This is a time for everyone who believes in religious pluralism to take a stand. By downloading and sharing our resources, by speaking out – and listening – we can undermine and untangle the misinformation that feeds injustice.
