>> 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 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
