Description
Events such as the takeover of the US Embassy in Tehran, the terrorist attacks of September 11, and mass murders around the world have sparked a great debate in the West: How do we protect ourselves while not persecuting innocent immigrants who came searching for a better life? This book examines the roots of the cultural clash between Muslims and countries of the West, the history of prejudice against people from the Middle East, and the increasing persecution of Muslims today. This book uses a timeline of intolerance and stories of those affected by persecution to illustrate the ways in which Americans have not lived up to their stated ideals.
