Are you still with me? Obviously this is a satirical push back against rising Islamophobia, packaged in a clever social media campaign developed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). According to its press release:

In its new social media campaign, CAIR is distributing “ISLAMOPHOBIN®,” a mock-medicine designed to “cure” Islamophobia and includes a television commercial for the product. (NOTE: ISLAMOPHOBIN is actually sugar-free-chewing gum.)

ISLAMOPHOBIN is available for purchase at www.amazon.com.

Sure, it’s silly. And maybe it won’t change anyone’s mind. But there is something to be said for tackling hate with humor. Sometimes we have to make ourselves laugh. It’s better than crying or frustration.
