(Al Arabiya News) There is an “open season” against Muslims in the United States and a part of the blame rests on movies such as “American Sniper,” said Suzanne Barakat, the sister of Deah Barakat, one of the victims of the Chapel Hill shooting, in a recent interview.
“The day of the murders, an assemblywoman from the state I live in used the hashtag “stand up against Islam,” she said during Friday’s broadcast of “The Lead” on CNN.
“And it’s currently an open season, a time where it’s an open season against Islam, Muslims in Washington, Muslims in the general media dehumanizing Muslims in movies like ‘American Sniper,'” she added.
