A report issued by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Center for Race and Gender at UC Berkeley on June 21, 2016. The report, titled “Confronting Fear,” presents the facts about the 33 Islamophobic groups who had access to at least $205 million in total revenue between 2008-2013. The report presents a four-point strategy designed to achieve a shared American understanding of Islam in which being Muslim carries a positive connotation, and in which Islam has an equal place among the many faiths that together constitute America’s pluralistic society.

The American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE) is remarkably active in supporting scholarship, training, and conservation efforts in Egypt. Among ARCE’s many great achievements is our relationship with the Ministry of Antiquities (MOA) (formerly the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA)) within the Egyptian Ministry of Culture, without whom our work would not be possible. ARCE is viewed as making important contributions that serve to help Egypt directly in its pursuit of cultural heritage preservation.
