Groundswell-movement.org sent me an email pointing to the video Finally! A Muslim-American woman changes how the media talks about Islam.

This video of a Muslim-American woman from New York challenging Islamophobia on CNN might change the way we talk about Islam in the media.

The Islamophobia begins at 00:13, meant to frighten us and turn us against our neighbors—but Linda breaks through at the 1-minute mark with some prophetic truth that we all need to hear.

This is the kind of sense I would like to make common on my blog and elsewhere.

We need to concentrate on catching criminals and avoiding creating feelings of hopelessness. We do not need to be fomenting more hate. We have more than enough hate to go around already.
