The state of being subject to unjust treatment or control.

But when the prayer is ended, then disperse abroad in the land and seek

of Allah's grace, and remember Allah much, that you may be successful.

(Qur'an The Congregation 62.10)

The decade following the September 11,2001 terrorist attacks

has been challenging for many Muslim Americans as they

frequently found themselves at the receiving end of discrimination,

opression and outright violence. Prejudice has run rampant and

ignorance has bred fear, yet many Muslim Americans remain hopeful

that their plight will be improved by education and allowing

themselves to be subject to the media in peaceful interactions.

"The Jewish people have seen, over the years and over the centuries, that hate prepares the way for violence. The refusal to expose and confront intolerance can lead to crimes beyond imagining. So we have a duty to expose and confront anti-Semitism, wherever it is found.”

What one Christian does is his own responsibility, what one Jew does is thrown back at all Jews.

History has shown us that it is easy to blame another group of people for our own situation.

Understanding our own power and privilege is the first step in stopping oppression.

We all have the responsibility of ending discrimination and oppression that leads to violence.

("Jew jokes," 2010)

I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions,senses, affections, passions? fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that.

The Jew has always been a people with definite racial characteristics and never a religion.
