new muslims muslims who have been muslims forever about the alternatives to fasting and really make it explicit that those are just as equal forms of observing ramadan as fasting with food and water i'm. so going to have on. here i was going to say on the topic that our chain and state run the muslim community particularly around mental health and i really wonder how everybody really focused. on is this month and then tired and very much a communal time and because it's such a spiritual in which people really grow kind of together and spiritually. what has hopes always that sense of isolation of particularly people about mental health conditions often speak of the issue of isolation so. it's almost like a double whammy really if you're able to pull people actually into the community observations of ramadan in all of its forms and soberly exactly what you said about education and i'm so glad to know with it and know that the work that we're doing is a model where education and what we call social education in the muslim community particularly on issues of all mental health orders. one o

i think of the muslim band coming to mind and i still can't shake the that the muslim band was not just about refugees and immigrants from outside our orders, the two are connected. immigration policy and domestic policy towards marginalized groups are almost always connected. that was an intended political victory targeting many people sitting in this room. that is a scary thought but when you are fighting consequences in terms of the impact it has on other countries but also you are pushing back against policy that is meant to demonize muslims and muslim americans. >> especially when it is paired with an effort to delegitimize citizenship or evoke citizenship rights. >> right. that is a classic long-standing historical battle. in terms of media i'm trying to say something positive here particularly about mainstream national media. i'm very cynical about media and maybe not the best person to inspire you. we should be careful here because mainstream media is corporate media and corporate media interests and state interests are often intertwined. i've learned more and more to approach m

>> let's say the following, there are bad muslims, good muslims, in between muslims, and then there is me. [laughter] i am of the opinion that no matter what a muslim does, it should not be a rationalization for blaming the group. that is the basis of racism. for muslims, to think we have to go through therapy to make ourselves perfect so the racists will not hit us in the face. we need to get rid of this aspect that muslim actions result in the islamophobia and racism toward muslims. the mere fact is the following, white supremacy, which in the past few years has been the primary perpetrator of violence, we don't actually have discrimination structurally, which would be legitimate if that paradigm is help, would be the response to it. it is actually the contrary. we are living in a global white supremacy that is systemic, and even when violence is committed from white supremacists, we don't attribute or attached to it the same type of consequences. part of what i also recommend is the aggregating violence and cd from islamophobia. this is a discussion we had at the carter center, the

anti muslim mobs in sri lanka has killed one person and attacked mosques and muslim owned businesses the government imposed a nationwide overnight curfew to contain the violence sectarian anger has been building in the country since the easter church bombings by islamists that left more than 250 people to. justice in sri lanka i agree and impatient some sri lankans have rioted and taken to attacking muslims after is the missed terrorists carried out the easter sunday bombings killing over 250 people. police struggle to contain the anger with one muslim man dying from stab wounds shops run by muslims are being torched all ransacked and the owners targeted. because. they came with a sword and tried to attack me but about 15 people came in several taxis. they threatened to kill me i ran away through the back door. the same group attacked my brother shop the police are trying to stop such attacks and manage a volatile situation. it also butyl this small group must stop the dangerous game they're playing against the lives and property of innocent people 100 others i must state that we won

are correct and they said we need to have more tolerance and liberalism now muslim parents muslim families have forgotten what islam says about homosexuality what it says about exceptions what it says about having freedom and inclusion in tolerance and these are the same virtues that gave rise to the enlightenment and the us constitution the declaration of independence so muslims need to find their way back out although the far right and some of the people might be asking the wrong questions there is a conversation needs to be had. i want to move on to another part of this for the 1st even those pupils who might want to observe ramadan it is supposed to be challenging isn't there a risk that some of those pupils might suffer if they're not given any special. well i just think there is a relationship to be had between the school teachers and parents and individual people to make sure that you know those circumstances are developed in regards to how you treat somebody who's fast you know make it more easy for them as they. continue through throughout the month but there is a wide discussion

ok we'd like to talk with muslim and muslim community leaders to have a discussion and live in a couple way to be able to live harmoniously muslims need to realize this is not arabia this is sri lankan lanka has a culture and a civilization and identity so amarnath where does that come from that idea of questioning muslims and sri lanka's train long can this. i mean this goes back quite a while and i know there was a very interesting clip to listen to because i mean i'm myself i'm a canadian by background and i mean we've dealt with the community and in the north and east have dealt with this similar kind of majority areas and for a long time and i think there's a deep sense amongst a lot of minorities this is very structural this goes up this is very much part of what it means to be a sri lankan state that is majority area and buddhist and buddhist and single at its core and this idea that there are there is room for minorities it's not entirely clear what that would look like what integration looks like or what distillation looks like particularly because minorities feel like also hol

anti—muslim hatred, it's not just a verbal and mere muslim anti—muslim hatred, it's notjust a verbal and physical assaults we see, but also structural discrimination and institutional discrimination and institutional discrimination by challenges when it comes to media races and we see an element of the tabloids for example. when you add 70% fewer british muslim women getting jobs compared toa muslim women getting jobs compared to a christian when then, that's a problem we need to look at and delayed, it's not anti—muslim hatred, but we need to recognise is a type of racism and type of racism that's targeting not black people, notjewish people, that's targeting not black people, not jewish people, but that's targeting not black people, notjewish people, but actually expressions of muslim nets, and by that what we mean is anything that identifies you as muslim, that is being targeted by scar for example a name, a bbc report showed that if you had the name mohammed, you are three times less likely to get a flight three times less likely to get a flight or three times less likely to g

it's the muslim holy month of ramadan but in finland teachers there say the long hours of fasting and taking a toll on children's education and behavior details and reaction when we come back . you know world the big part of the lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. i mean we were at camp rounds of america i think it's called there's like a chain of these campgrounds in trailer parks across america so yeah these types of organizations would be rolled out into a big a rural up so you have economies of scale you now have lots and lots of trailer parks all socialize reporting to one corporate behavior on wall street and they're extracting nickels and dimes and a lot of people are suffering. a lot again teachers in finland doc complaining that the muslim holy month of rama

a muslim shops and mosques and. what about among the general public a month amongst the lankans working what needs to be done there to. the tensions it's been less than a month since the easter sunday bombings. so on one hand i think the law enforcement agencies need to step up their act in violence actually happening on the other hand they think there has to be a guarantee of accountability and i think if there was accountability for previous incidents of violence against muslims and stands and other minorities maybe may not have seen what we saw in the last couple of days and particularly last night about in addition to the legal and you know i think the government found also that we just feel gee we used to engage in a lot of public outreach to explain to people particularly singhalese both christians and buddhists that muslims are not fairies that we need to boyd this with muslims and the muslims are being at the receiving end of a lot of violence and discrimination. by cooky fernando a human rights activist joi
