Layla Maynard: Islamaphobia in North America Gaining Popularity

Summary: Many recent acts of violence have been carried out in public mosques in the United States. Recent statistics show 2015 has had the most number of incidents in mosques, tripling the record set the year before that. Incidents include harassment, threats, zoning, damage, and vandalism at Islamic houses of worship. Post 9/11, a rise in Islamaphobia was apparent in our society, but the acts of violence committed in the last year were different, and more serious.

Analysis: We have to do our best as a nation to move forward with the capability of staying open minded and welcoming as well as helpful to those in need. We has to understand the difference between Muslims and terrorists, you'd think the difference was clear enough. Innocent lives can not be spared due to our blatant hate and ignorance.

  1. This reminds me of the South's treatment of slaves after their freedom from the civil war. These people doing these acts on Muslims are very much so like the KKK
