From McCarthyism to the Patriot Act to Islamophobia
"From McCarthyism to the Patriot Act to Islamophobia: ACLU/SC Pasadena-Foothills Chapter Looks at Political Hysteria"
In observing the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, which quickly spawned the repressive Patriot Act and Homeland Security Department, we might recall that affronts to First Amendment rights to free speech in response to threats from enemies, real and imagined, have a long history in America.
If you’re concerned about the growing governmental scrutiny of our private lives and communications in the name of the vaunted “War on Terror,” please participate in the discussion “From McCarthyism to the Patriot Act to Islamophobia,” on Tuesday, September 13, 7 p.m. at Neighborhood Church at 301 N. Orange Grove Blvd, Pasadena.
Scott Martelle, journalist and author of "The Fear Within: Spies, Commies, and American Democracy on Trial", and Adel Syed of the Council on Islamic-American Relations will speak about recent origins and outcomes of American political hysteria.
