After decades into the War on Terror and its catastrophic impact, SOA Watch Council Member Dr. Hilal presents us with a policy-informed examination of institutionalized Islamophobia and the ever-expanding post 9/11 surveillance state.
Join Dr. Hilal and SOA Watch Staff Collective to discuss how the official narrative of the War on Terror has justified the creation of a sprawling apparatus of state violence rooted in Islamophobia. Dr. Hilal will unpack the taxonomy of the War on Terror that she outlines in her book—militarism and warfare, draconian immigration policy, surveillance, federal terrorism prosecutions, and detention and torture. Dr. Hilal and SOA Watch will also discuss the experience and resilience of Muslim communities fighting for dignity and justice, including the ongoing struggle to Close Guantanamo Bay Prison.
