>MSA hopes to raise public and student awareness on the unique way in which
>9-11 has changed the lives of American Muslims permanently, as they

>American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns =

>The program will advance a broader understanding of Islam as a universal
>religion with 1.2 billion adherents and clarify existing misconceptions
>about Islam regarding jihad, the status of women, the distinction between
>culture and religion. The panel will discuss topics such as: 1) outreach by
>local Muslim communities to relief services, law enforcement, etc. in the
>wake of the attacks, 2) support offered to Muslims by Americans of other
>faiths, 3) the post-9/11 backlash against Muslims or those perceived to be
>"Middle Eastern," 4) the role anti-Muslim rhetoric plays in promoting hate
>and bigotry, and 5) the curtailment of civil liberties by government
>policies targeting Muslims and Arab-Americans.
