MEDFORD ANACHRONISMS

“We have an ongoing ‘War on Terror,’” said Shannon Erwin, executive director of Boston-based Muslim Justice League, which advocates for human and civil rights it says are violated or threatened under the pretext of national security, “both domestically and internationally, that tells people it’s OK to treat Muslims with suspect.”
Erwin said she’s seen this particular image posted several times before being asked about it this week.
“As upsetting as hateful speech is, we really believe that counter speech -- speech that expresses people’s reactions and the realities that are happening in our communities -- is important,” she said.
STEPHANIE BURKE SCREWS UP!
