While combating discrimination is vital, creating a dedicated office focused solely on 'Islamophobia' within the State Department risks appearing to prioritize one form of prejudice over others. This could be perceived as establishing a double standard and potentially alienate communities facing other significant forms of discrimination. Existing structures within the State Department should be utilized to address all forms of religious persecution and discrimination comprehensively, rather than singling out one issue with a new bureaucratic layer.
