(Oklahoman) Adam Soltani remembers the anti-Muslim rhetoric that seemed heightened during the 2016 presidential election.
Soltani, executive director of the Oklahoma chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said his agency has created a new guidebook that was purposely timed, in part, to counter another possible round of such rhetoric in the months leading up to the 2020 presidential election.
CAIR-OK’s first “Guide to Islam and Muslims in Oklahoma” is a 32-page resource that includes a glossary of Muslim terms, Oklahoma Muslim demographics and information on Muslim social and civic involvement. The guide also include[s] Islamic theology and how it relates to other faiths, plus commentary on “Islamophobia” and its effect on Oklahoma.
