"Guilty"

"The defamation of Islam, Arabs, and Muslims has even compromised justice in some courtrooms. Explains California attorney Stephen B. Mashney: Jurors' judgements cannot help but be influenced by a "media portrayal that Arab Muslims are [our] enemies and culturally backward." The facts of the vast majority of Arab and Muslim Americans' lives, however, could not be more diametrically opposite."
