A review of the CNN Special Unwelcome Muslims Next Door by Imraan Siddiqi has been going round the internet. To read the review and watch the Special see here.
The only thing i can say to the 'terror' that the non-Muslim folks of the town (both whites and African Americans) are up in arms about is this: the true vandals and terrorist who are terrorising the folks of the town aren't the Muslims. Least it's missed, it has to be said out loud that terrorising others for any reason is in everyone including White/non-White Christian America.
This blog sets out to bring together issues and concerns within the discourse of multiculturalism and social texts which i define as texts that generate public interest including news, editorial, popular literature and other popular texts in the media such as songs, advertisements, videos and movies. The coming weeks and month will present opportunities for me to draw on the discussion of multiculturalism from various parameters including ethnic studies, gender studies and cultural studies to facilitate how multiculturalism can be a useful tool to study social texts, and what these texts inform us of the state of our diverse world.
