Islamophobia is internalized by Muslims more than by any other US faith group

Evidence

ISPU also highlighted a particular trend in relation to anti-Muslim sentiment in the U.S. – internalised Islamophobia among Muslim populations themselves. When asked if they felt most people want them to be ashamed of their faith identity, 30% of Muslims agreed (a higher percentage than any other faith group). When asked if they believed that their faith community was more prone to negative behaviour than other faith communities, 30% of Muslims agreed, again, a higher percentage than other faith groups. — Wikipedia contributors, Islamophobia, 101
