Muslims in Japan

Posted: 12/01/2007

Most Iranian and Iraqis that used to live in Japan - in the public parks, mostly - no longer live here. They’ve been deported. Some remain, though, mostly those who married Japanese nations and had children.

Still, there is a lot of not-so-subtle anti-Middle Eastern sentiment in Japan. Many people would justify it by pointing out the high crime amongst Middle Easterners who lived in Japan.

That is, still, the essence of racism. To stereotype a group by according to the actions of a number of its members is the epitome of ignorance.

With that in mind, I present you with this opinion on religious atrocities.

Hat tip.
