SEC. 102. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONDEMNING DISCRIMINATION AGAINST ARAB AND
MUSLIM AMERICANS.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Arab Americans, Muslim Americans, and Americans from
South Asia play a vital role in our Nation and are entitled to
nothing less than the full rights of every American.
(2) The acts of violence that have been taken against Arab
and Muslim Americans since the September 11, 2001, attacks
against the United States should be and are condemned by all
Americans who value freedom.
(3) The concept of individual responsibility for wrongdoing
is sacrosanct in American society, and applies equally to all
religious, racial, and ethnic groups.
(4) When American citizens commit acts of violence against
those who are, or are perceived to be, of Arab or Muslim
descent, they should be punished to the full extent of the law.
(5) Muslim Americans have become so fearful of harassment
that many Muslim women are changing the way they dress to avoid
becoming targets.
(6) Many Arab Americans and Muslim Americans have acted
heroically during the attacks on the United States, including
Mohammed Salman Hamdani, a 23-year-old New Yorker of Pakistani
descent, who is believed to have gone
[[Page 115 STAT. 277]]
to the World Trade Center to offer rescue assistance and is now
missing.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the civil rights and civil liberties of all Americans,
including Arab Americans, Muslim Americans, and Americans from
South Asia, must be protected, and that every effort must be
taken to preserve their safety;
(2) any acts of violence or discrimination against any
Americans be condemned; and
(3) the Nation is called upon to recognize the patriotism of
fellow citizens from all ethnic, racial, and religious
backgrounds.
