Anti-Muslim discrimination spans slurs, violence, vandalism, and state surveillance

Evidence

For example, there are specific derogatory terms used for Muslims (e.g., towel head, sand nigger, terrorist) and several homicides have been attributed to anti-Muslim beliefs (Iyer, 2017; Kennedy, 2000; Miller et al., 2016). Mosques across the United States have been vandalized and the construction of mosques has been met with strong community opposition (ACLU, 2018; Iyer, 2017). Additionally, federal policies have led to increased government surveillance and profiling of Muslim Americans (Alimahomed-Wilson, 2018). — Naheed Ahmed, Measurement of Perceived Interpersonal…, 18
