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.
Islam is a faith followed by over two billion people worldwide, and America is home to millions of Muslims.Despite this, hostility toward Muslims in the U.S. is tolerated in ways that would be unthinkable toward 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 reflects on their personal experience, having witnessed this reality firsthand since the fall of 2001, at the start of a federal law enforcement career that intersected with a personal relationship that shook their worldview.
Author's summary: U.S. institutions tolerate anti-Muslim sentiment.
