Hi Blog. Passing this information and flyer along upon request as a matter of record. Attend the talk. \u00a0Dr. ARUDOU, Debito<\/p>\n

=========================
\nThe Japan Center for Michigan Universities<\/a> (JCMU) in Hikone, Shiga Prefecture, is proud to welcome Junko Hayashi, Japan\u2019s first female Muslim attorney, to speak about Islam and the issues faced by Muslims in Japan. In a recent court battle, Ms. Hayashi represented Japanese Muslims that were being watched by the Japanese government for no reason other than they are Muslims. The surveillance of these Japanese citizens came to light after information gathered by police was accidentally leaked on the Internet. Japanese courts ruled that there was no constitutional violation and that the threat of international terrorism outweighed any privacy right held by the plaintiffs.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Muslim culture is an important part of Michigan culture, making JCMU the ideal place to host this event. JCMU is also a place where people from many different cultures come together to learn about culture and language while exchanging ideas that make our world a better place. It is JCMU\u2019s hope that the Islamophobia gripping much of the Western world can be avoided in Japan through education and mutual understanding.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ms. Hayashi will present at JCMU (1435-86 Matsubara-Cho, Hikone-Shi, Shiga-Ken 522-0002) on July 23, 2016 in both English and Japanese. People interested in attending the lecture can register by email at register@jcmu.org. The English language lecture will start at 17:00, with the Japanese lecture following at 19:00. Admission is free. \u00a0For further information about JCMU and its programs please see our website English website at jcmu.isp.msu.edu<\/a> and our Japanese website at www.jcmu.net<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong>
\n=========================<\/p>\n

As the requester notes: \u00a0“Thank you so much for helping us get the word out. With the recent terror attacks in Bangladesh I fear the worst for the rise of Islmaophobia in Japan<\/a>. The Japan Times just posted an article about the Muslim surveillance case last night. http:\/\/www.japantimes.co.jp\/community\/2016\/07\/13\/issues\/shadow-surveillance-looms-japans-muslims\/<\/a> It would be great if we could get the Japan Times down here to hear the lecture.”<\/em><\/p>\n
