Article Release in Time Magazine

Dr. Rania Awaad, President of Maristan, discusses the alarming rise of Islamophobia and the “modern media machine’s” messaging that enforces the othering of Muslim communities. The surge in hate incidents, notably in the United States and across the West, has been enabled by anti-Palestinian and anti-Muslim rhetoric. This has profound repercussions for the health and wellness of the Muslim community…

“By diminishing the complexity of individuals and essentializing Islam, these colonial powers created a seedbed for the dehumanization and generalization of people today perceived to be Muslim or Muslim-adjacent. And perhaps most importantly, these kinds of hate crimes and the rise of Islamophobia have extensive, negative mental health impacts on Muslim communities in the U.S. and around the world.”
