Our #ThursdayThoughts on #Islamophobia are about #Dawah. Read our thread & check our NEW factsheet on Dawah here: bridge.georgetown.edu/factsheet-dawa…
Dawah is an Arabic term w/ a range of meanings generally understood to signify an invitation (definitions here: tinyurl.com/ybbsp24u)
#Dawah activities include acts of charity and proselytization
Anti-#Muslim groups (CSP, Counter Jihad, Jihad Watch) have co-opted the term to frame Muslims as a #threat to “American society & values”
The Center for Security Policy, considered an anti-#Muslim #hate group by @splcenter, refers to #dawah as a “pre-violent” form of warfare
These anti-#Muslim orgs have attempted to redefine #dawah in order to legitimize a #false narrative about an “Islamic threat” to the US
To learn more about how #dawah is being co-opted to spread #Islamophobic ideas, READ our factsheet here: bridge.georgetown.edu/factsheet-dawa…
