Anti-Muslim harassment of visibly Muslim men and women differs by gender

Evidence

Other feedback included parsing out the item about harassment of visible Muslims to discern if there are differences by gender. Based on this suggestion, this item was split into two separate items: ā€œMuslim men who wear Islamic clothes (e.g., kufi, thobe) are often harassed in public (e.g., verbal and physical harassment)ā€ and ā€œMuslim women who wear Islamic clothes (e.g., hijab, abaya, niqab) are often harassed in public (e.g., verbal and physical harassment).ā€ — Naheed Ahmed, Measurement of Perceived Interpersonal…, 58
