The 'Politics of Inclusion' Takes a Hit

A disgraceful thing happened at Detroit's Joe Louis Arena earlier this week. Americans were discriminated against by other Americans who thought head scarves would send the wrong message about their candidate's religious affiliation.

In other words -- the soft bigotry of Islamophobia is finally ready for its close-up in the Obama campaign.

Hebba Aref was born in the United States 25 years ago to Egyptian immigrants. She is a lawyer and a taxpaying citizen.
