Excerpt:
An association of religious scholars are hosting a day-long workshop in the fall dedicated to teaching "knowledge, tools, and strategies to challenge anti-Muslim prejudice in the public square."
The American Academy of Religion is conducting the "Confronting Islamophobia" workshop in Boston and charges scholars $40 to attend. The organization will hold the event on the eve of its 2017 annual meeting in November.
"Anti-Muslim bigotry and racism have risen to epidemic proportions in the United States," insists the workshop's description. The listing does not provide a single instance of such sentiments or acts, however, and also fails to mention the numerous hate crime hoaxes, several of which have involved fabrications of anti-Muslim hatred.
