Exploring the experience of Muslims in America following 9/11, this
book assesses how anti-Muslim bias within the U.S. government and
the larger society undermines American security and democracy. In
the aftermath of the events of September 11, 2001, Muslims in
America have experienced discrimination and intolerance from the
U.S. government and American citizens alike. From religious and
ethnic profiling to hate crimes, intolerance against Muslims is
being reinforced on multiple levels, undercutting the Muslim
community's engagement in American society. This text is essential
for understanding how the unjust treatment of American Muslims
following September 11 has only served to alienate the Muslim
community and further divide the United States. Authored by an
expert analyst of policy for 20 years, this book explores the
prejudice against Muslims and how the actions of the U.S.
government continue to perpetuate fear and stereotypes within U.S.
citizens. The author posits that by respecting the civil rights of
Muslims, the government will lead by example in the acceptance of
American Muslims, improving homeland security along with the lives
of Muslims living in the United States. Provides a history of
Muslim experience in the United States up to September 11
Highlights legislation that discriminates against Muslims Presents
information appropriate for academic reading, professionals within
the field of homeland security and counterterrorism, and anyone
interested in the relationship between national security and civil
rights
