Supporting a minority during a crisis also disciplines it to conform.

Evidence

The choreography of the Jones visit was much more complex than this brief sketch can convey, but it serves well as an example of disciplinary inclusion. The Muslim community was supported during this crisis by institutions of the larger society, and it was carefully controlled in the process. The rejection of Terry Jones represented both a commitment to the Americanness of Dearborn’s Muslims, who deserved respect, and an acknowledgment of the (supposed) inability of (some) Muslims to accept certain kinds of free speech. Local Muslims were brought into an ecumenical, public rejection of religious bigotry, all the while being told, directly and indirectly, by Muslims and non-Muslims, that reactions of the Danish cartoon variety—physical attacks, threats, burnings in effigy, angry chants of “death to ___!”—would be counterproductive and would confirm what many Americans believe: that Muslims are irrational and intolerant. — Carl W.

• XREF: Directly advances the reader’s guiding question about the pivot from ‘them’ to ‘us’ — institutions’ support of Muslims is also a form of control, a double-edged inclusion.
• DEFINE: Introduces the chapter’s operative concept ‘disciplinary inclusion’ — support and control as inseparable.
• SEED: An article angle: how civic inclusion of a targeted minority always carries a disciplinary price — the terms on which a community is welcomed.
