SW 540 Widener University Islamophobia in Western Culture Article Questions

I’m stuck on a Writing question and need an explanation.

read the article, “Islamophobia, culture, and race in the age of empire,” by Mehdi Semati and listened to a 4-minute National Public Radio (NPR) recording from 2011 on France’s ban on the burqa. eflect on this material by answering the following questions:

1. What, in your words, do you think Semati is arguing in his article? He has an opinion about the ways that Islamophobia is showing up in public policies in the United States and Western Europe. What are the pieces of his argument with which you agree? What are the pieces with which you disagree?
2. Given what you learned in the NPR report and from other materials about France’s ban on the burqa (more specifically, on the niqab or face covering), how do you think such a proposed ban would fare in the United States? Do you think that a politician proposing such a ban would receive support in the United States? Why might some people support such a ban? Why might some people object to such a ban?
