Scapegoats

"Scapegoats is an important book that shows Islamophobia must be addressed urgently. Violence or hate speech against any community based on their faith is un-American and is against our founding principles." Because when a murderous psychopath goes on a killing spree, law enforcement officials and the media never make his religion the central issue--unless he happens to be a Muslim. PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER

"My brother Arsalan Iftikhar is one of America's great champions of reason
and respect. His book is a stirring addition to the literature of American
pluralism. May it help to hold back the ugliness the intolerance and the indecency that is disfiguring our country." LEON WIESELTIER

"Iftikhar writes with a deep love of his country, and profound anguish about
the betrayal of her cherished values of fairness and inclusiveness. This book is a wake-up call for America." BOBBY GHOSH, GLOBAL NEWS ANALYST, CNN

"[Arsalan Iftikhar has] become a go-to voice in American media, playing a variety of roles explaining Islam, decrying Islamic extremism and also what he sees as rising islamophobia. It is that last which concerns him in a new book, and the title sums up its mission. It's called Scapegoats: How Islamophobia Helps Our Enemies and Threatens Our Freedoms."
