Challenges Facing the Muslim Community in AmericaFBI Surveillance Practices, Alienation and EntrapmentHassan Shibly, civil rights attorneyThe tragic events in Boston could have been prevented had the FBI focused on catching real criminals, not building fake ones, and hence my focus is on the FBI’s entrapment program and focus on first amendment protected activity, which makes us less safe and less free. I am only concerned by the steps the federal government has taken to alienate relations between the FBI and the Muslim community. ---Islamophobia and the Violation of Civil LibertiesZahra Billoo, Executive Director,Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), San Francisco Bay Area chapterThis session will enable participants to better understand anti-Muslim hate, frequently referred to as Islamophobia.
