My article review this week is another video, this time a news story from England. Apparently British protesters in Dover, a major point of entry for refugees entering England, expressed Nazi-esque enthusiasm against the refugees fleeing to Europe from the Middle East. Their angry protests eventually lead to a violent outbreak as those who disagreed with the Nazi salutes and the open opposition to refugees came out to face the protesters. The protesters were chanting Seig Heil and performing the Nazi salute to get their message across. The protesters claim their main priority is protecting England from Muslim terrorists.
This was a very useful article for our group. It perfectly exemplifies the troubling and drastic actions that can stem from Islamophobia. It was also a powerful representation of the extents people will go to defend their beliefs on either end of the spectrum. It is clear that this issue we are trying to combat is more than just an American issue, it is happening all over the world. I certainly hope that we can make a difference. We will likely share this video on our feed.
