Hate crimes spike against anyone who appears Muslim after every crisis

Evidence

Race hate crime figures show that Islamophobic crimes increase following a terrorist attack (Travis 2017), and there is increasing awareness – not just among political leaders and the police but among the wider public and media – that we must be more considered in reporting on terrorist attacks, and not jump to the conclusion that all incidents involving injury are necessarily acts of Islamist terrorism (or that all public decisions involving Muslims are inherently suspect). — A.

In this new racial terrain, Muslims fear for their safety. Muslim American women who wore the hijab told me they were frightened to leave the house out of fear for their safety. Lori Peek (2012) shows that Muslim women who wear the hijab were afraid for their safety immediately after 9/11. In the years since 9/11, any time a terrorist attack has occurred in Europe or in the United States, the Muslim community has had to brace itself for anti-Muslim backlash, since hate crimes against Muslims spike afterward. Immediately after the Boston Marathon bombing, a Muslim woman who wears the hijab was physically attacked by a man in Boston. — Saher Selod, Forever Suspect_ Racialized…, 354 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
