American Jewish Committee Calls on All Americans to Avoid Stereotyping or Scapegoating in Wake of Terror Horrors

American Jewish Committee
Thursday, 13 September 2001

The American Jewish Committee issued the following statement today:

"The catastrophic terror inflicted on American soil must not become an occasion for stereotyping or scapegoating.

"Jewish history makes us painfully aware that, too often, times of crisis provide opportunities for expressions of bigotry.

"An entire people or religion should never be implicated because of the heinous crimes committed by some of its members. We call on all Americans of goodwill to denounce any form of ethnic, racial or religious intolerance and reaffirm the American spirit of pluralism and openness."
