DESCRIPTION:&quot\;Fears and prejudices directed against minority communiti
 es are too easy to evoke and exaggerate\, often to serve the political age
 ndas of those who promote those fears. No one should ever be locked away s
 imply because they share the same race\, ethnicity\, or religion as a spy 
 or terrorist. If that principle was not learned from the internment of Jap
 anese Americans\, then these are very dangerous times for our democracy.&q
 uot\;&nbsp\; \n - Fred Korematsu (2004)\n &nbsp\;\n Following 9/11\, Ameri
 can Muslims found themselves in a situation not unlike that of Japanese Am
 ericans after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Recognizing this\, Japanese Ame
 ricans came to the defense of American Muslim community members as their c
 ivil liberties were threatened\, resulting in an extraordinary kinship bet
 ween the two communities.\n &nbsp\;\n Together\, the Japanese American Mus
