Efforts against Islamophobia...
While researching on 'Islamophobia' I came across a really useful site, that shows how 'Islamophobia' is being tackled in a number of places, which would be quite useful to conclude our documentary on.

The Website is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamophobia#Efforts_against_Islamophobia


Some of the main points that me and Naziya have considered to include in our documentary include:


1. Council on American-Islamic Relations(CAIR) states that throughout the 2000s, it has been active in defending American-Muslims against Islamophobia.

2. 50,000 people signed a petition urging the President of France Jacques Chirac to curb the growing hatred and discrimination towards Muslims in France.

3.Following the July 7 bombings, the British government set up a number of initiatives aimed at combating Islamophobia, including the "National Forum against extremism and Islamophobia".

4.The Mayor of London, Ken Livingston, said that the Media bore some responsibility for the apparent rise in Islamophobia, and said that a "rising tide of Islamophobia" in the media must be challenged. He compared the reporting of Muslims in contemporary Britain to the way the flight of Jews from Russia had been covered 100 years ago. There was also plans by the British government to ban incitement to "religious hatred".
