Will the Real America Please Stand Up?
By Stephen Willis Dotson
A Friend at the Annual Convention of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA)
As Quakers, we certainly witness (and occasionally participate in) the inflated rhetoric and sensationalism of our mainstream media, but typically we are not the victims of it in any way that causes serious detriment. The same can not be said for Muslims. While we are made out to be Amish oatmeal-makers and parrot-breeders (really, google “Quaker parrot”), our Muslim brothers and sisters are made out to be terrorists and theocrats, trying to force the rest of the world to live under the most extreme interpretations of Islamic law.
