The UN did it, Ask President Biden to do it too! In 2021, the United Nations declared March 15th to be the International Day to Combat Islamophobia. This day is dedicated to ensuring that Muslims across the world are kept safe from harmful labels, as well as their impacts, especially those that occurred in the post-9/11 world. From pop culture to government, the representation of Islam and Muslims has become overwhelmingly negative. Muslims are associated with buzzwords like terrorism, are thought to be oppressive, and are seen as a threat to the modern world. We ask that the United States, in the spirit of this acknowledgment by the United Nations, also take action to help combat Islamophobia worldwide by instituting policies that would help to measure the impacts and incidences of Islamophobia around the world. |
