Muslims support Black Lives Matter at higher rates than Jews and Christians

Evidence

After the election of Trump, when White nationalism became normalized, more Muslim American organizations began to talk openly about systemic racism. The Institute for Social Policy and Understanding’s “2017 Muslims at a Crossroads Poll” found that 66 percent of Muslims support the Black Lives Matter movement, as compared to 58 percent of Jews and 39 percent of Catholics and Protestants. — Sahar F.

Categorization

  • XREF: Connects to the book’s broader argument about Muslim racialization and cross-racial solidarity; also relevant to the reader’s work on how marginalized groups forge coalition politics.
  • SEED: Possible angle: the 66-vs-39 gap as evidence that lived experience of state surveillance predicts solidarity with other surveilled groups.
  • corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — Sahar F. Aziz, The Racial Muslim: When Racism Quashes…, 1050
