Anti-Muslim hate crime produces cumulative psychological trauma through repeatedly relived incidents.
Evidence
In light of the profound negative impacts of anti- Muslim hate crime, it is clear that the emotional scars can last for a long time. When another incident takes place, victims relive previous incidents of anti-Muslim hate crime. As a result, some individuals might suffer from depression, eating disorders, sleep pattern disturbances including insomnia and nightmares, flashbacks, and memory lapses. The continual threat of abuse can be emotionally draining for victims, who not only relive past incidents but also feel the need to be constantly on the alert. This shows that anti-Muslim hate crime can result in a cumulative experience of psychological trauma and emotional burn-out over time. — A. Hussain, N. Meer, Framing Muslim Integration, 366
