Some bloggers have called the “War on Terror” the “Green Scare” for other reasons: green is the color of Islam. Check out this post, and here’s another, ok and one more.
I think it’s an important reminder of how far-reaching the War on Terrorism is, how many lives have been affected by the scare-mongering, and how important it is for environmental and animal rights activists to work wtih other social movements. Arab-Americans, remember, were rounded up, and many were assaulted verbally and physically, in the weeks after 9/11 (and are still targeted today).
