Hypersurveilled Muslims may withdraw from medical and financial institutions to avoid surveillance

Evidence

Today, CVE policing ranks among the most destructive forms of structural Islamophobia. Its strategy and enforcement, while framed in a facially neutral fashion, is “cloaked in expertise about the process by which Muslims become terrorists.” Individuals who maximize their Muslim identity, or “Muslimness,” by freely expressing their faith and exercising their First Amendment rights, expose themselves to being profiled by the state as refusing to assimilate, as religiously conservative, as extreme or subversive, to name just some of the “bad Muslim” tropes that open the door to CVE suspicion. In short, the more Muslim one is, the more likely one will be pegged as a subject of CVE interest. — Khaled A. Beydoun, American Islamophobia_ Understanding…, 380 (#complicates, via linked claim)
