In the American city of Boston in the next six months will appear posters with instructions for combating Islamophobia. By pictures the residents will explain how to behave in case they begin to insult Muslims. About it reports The Guardian.

Over 50 posters will be located in the public areas, particularly at bus stops. At present some posters already in the streets.

The author of the pictures became Marie-Shireen Jenner. In September of last year she posted their pictures on the social network Tumblr. According to her, it was a response to “a wave of Islamophobia that swept France.”

She, in particular, advises to approach people that are attacked, and to make conversation with him on any topic.

“You can talk about anything: about the film, which is like, about the weather (…) Look them in the eye, pretend not to notice the Islamophobia. Such a response will make it fast you keep.”

In San Francisco had previously posted about 40 of these posters.

June 19 at the U.S. state Virginia was hammered to death 17-year-old Muslim Nubra Hassanen. The girl’s father is sure that his daughter was the victim of Islamophobia. The police refused to count the dead victim of racism.
