The manual concludes with an essay from Ebrahim Rasool, former South African ambassador to the United States, who reflects on the lessons learned from South Africa’s anti-apartheid struggle. Rasool argues that defeating Islamophobia means recognizing it as a part of a larger family in a “genealogy of bigotry” that includes fear and ignorance, prejudice and discrimination, racism, sexism, and anti-Semitism.
