How U.S. Institutions Sanction Intolerance & Indifference Against Muslims
When prejudice targets Black, Jewish, or Latino communities, Americans voice outrage. However, anti-Muslim sentiment is often met with silence, dismissal, or even applause.
Anti-Muslim sentiment is not an outlier in the United States, but rather it is woven into the nation's social DNA and political machinery. With over two billion Muslims worldwide and millions in America, hostility towards them is tolerated in ways that would be unthinkable towards other religious communities.
The question remains, why is such discrimination accepted? Is it simply fear, or part of a larger political and geopolitical apparatus designed to keep the U.S. at odds with the Muslim world?
The author has witnessed this reality firsthand since 2001, at the start of a federal law enforcement career that intersected with a personal relationship that shook their worldview.
Islam is a faith followed by over two billion people worldwide, and America is home to millions of Muslims.
