Mandy Moore Speaks Out Against Hatred Toward Muslims
Mandy Moore has joined the ranks of U.S. Attorney
General John Ashcroft and Senator John McCain by recording a public
service radio spot speaking out against hatred toward Muslims
and Arabs.
Moore recorded the 30-second spot last week, according
to a spokesperson for the Arab American Institute, which co-sponsored
the PSAs along with the Ad Council. Moore's advertisement will
be delivered to more than 10,000 radio stations beginning Monday.
"We all know America is going through some
rough times, but that's no reason to hate people who don't look
like you," Moore says in the spot. "Discrimination and
violence against Arab- and Muslim-Americans is not what this country
is all about and will not be tolerated."
The PSAs urge anyone who wants to report incidents
of racially motivated violence and crimes to call the United States
Commission on Civil Rights at 800-552-6843.
