Muslims have been in America before America was a country. Enslaved black Muslims were a part of this country’s formation. Hearing about the complexities of race and anti-Muslim bigotry. #FaithOverFear #BlackLivesMatter

Understanding where another is coming from is essential in combating Islamophobia. We can’t simply tell someone else they’re wrong, but instead do the work to understand where the other is coming from. #FaithOverFear #Interfaith

Fear keeps us alive and safe. Since it is essential to our survival, we are hyper-aware to it. When have you been afraid and what does it feel like? #FaithOverFear

1-2% of Americans are Muslims. That means that faith communities have a vital role to play in shifting the narrative on #AmericanMuslims. Maybe a person hasn’t encountered a Muslim, but you can be the one who can testify to who Muslims are. #FaithOverFear #InterfaithDialogue

[CCME @CCME_Chicago]

What is the role of faith communities in combatting Islamophobia? @kathryn_lohre and @C_Orsborn are facilitating a discussion with #FaithOverFear participants. @S2Scampaign @ELCA
